Blegging for Missions
I’m not one to bleg (blog begging, for the uninitiated), but I think this is an event worthy of the action. My wife has the opportunity to take part in a mission trip in August, and the mission team is in need of additional funds. Read on and see if you might be willing to [...]
Killing Christmas? It’s Nothing New
Every year, the hubub between the anti-Christmas folks and the pro-Christmas folks gets more heated. This year, it has reached a fever pitch. I wrote a bit about it last year, and I thought I might add a thought this year. Christmas is the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus [...]
China’s Early Christian History Proven?
St. Thomas is believed to have travelled to China in his travels Eastward, eventually being killed in India. Little evidence exists for the claims that he visited China, but possible clues may have been discovered that he, or another missionary, made the trek around this same period. Wang Weifan, a 78-year-old scholar of early Christian [...]
Hurricane Relief Benefit Notes
Yesterday was the day of my church’s hurricane benefit. The youth group, which I am one of the adult leaders of, gave up one of its retreats to put on this event, which I think was a fantastic success. The event started nice and early. We held a “yard sale” inside the fellowship hall, which [...]
Bono on Grace through Christ
“That’s between me and God. But I’d be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge. I’d be in deep s—. It doesn’t excuse my mistakes, but I’m holding out for Grace. I’m holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross, because I know who I am, and I [...]
Another Biblical Site “That Didn’t Exist” Found
The Biblical Pool of Siloam, where Jesus healed a man who was blind from birth has long been held by non-believers as a piece of fiction. They simply said the site did not exist. They’ve tried the same trick with other sites and people from the Bible, and often been proven wrong. They’re wrong again, [...]
Baby Got Book! Watch the Video
I had to send this link to Nate, the Youth Minister at our church. If you’ve ever wondered what Sir Mix-a-Lot’s song “Baby Got Back” would be like if it were’t about large butts, but instead referenced Bibles, this is the song for you. I found it via Ace of Spades, where it has generated [...]

White Smoke – Who Da Pope?
Watching Fox News, it appears that the chimney at the Vatican is spewing white smoke. The white smoke is a century-old signal that the College of Cardinals have arrived at a decision on a new Pope after the passing of the old. In addition, the bells at the Basilica are tolling, an additional signal decided [...]
Believing in God – Is It Enough?
There are a lot of people in this world who see Heaven as a foregone conclusion. I’m not talking about the people who don’t believe in God, and think that the concepts of Heaven and Hell are fiction. I’m talking about the ones who believe in the existence of the one God and a paradise [...]
