Jeremiah Wright’s universalism is wrong
Jeremiah Wright has been busy of late claiming his prerogatives as a pastor. Fair enough, but the media is predictably missing that his exposition of Scripture is worse (and far more dangerous) than his political commentary. Example: MODERATOR [at National … Continue reading

Eckhart Tolle: another in a long line
McCoy: We were speculating. Is God really out there? Kirk: Maybe he’s not out there, Bones. Maybe he’s right here. [points to his heart] -from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier Every few years, a book comes out that captures … Continue reading
Expelled
Well, I saw Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. I hardly agree with its premise that academic freedom is the solution to persecution of those who believe in Intelligent Design. A better solution would be to tear down the evolutionist’s fort by … Continue reading
An authentic life
More signs of the drift in evangelical youth. Where did people get the idea that there is virtue in living sinfully — indeed, flaunting it like Anna Karenina — as long as you’re honest about it? Hypocrisy is the homage … Continue reading

The Green fad
To paraphrase Tim Bayly, have we all gone mad? What’s up with this whole green movement? Mercy. “Eco-friendly” is the latest triviality engaging the world. A Google news search on “environment” yields 182,000 hits. “Green” yields over 200,000 (granted, a … Continue reading

Beyond secular sainthood
And they will say to you, Look, there! or Look, here! Do not go out or follow them. -Luke 17:23 You know, occasionally a blog comes along bringing satire that is almost inspiring. A friend sent this along. Don’t miss … Continue reading
