evangelicals and obama
Al Mohler recently posted on Rick Warren giving the invocation at Obama’s inauguration, and at the end of his fine essay he added a postscript saying that he himself would not accept such an honor because of Obama’s views on abortion. Mohler wrote: “President-elect Obama has pledged to sign legislation including the Freedom of Choice…

as we worship so we believe
Here in Grand Rapids we are snowed in today, just as we were on Friday and expect to be again on Tuesday. The stores were busy yesterday as Christmas shoppers used a break from the storms to get out while they could. Nearly every church in Grand Rapids cancelled services today, except the one that…

let’s get physical
I thought I’d take a break today from the postmodern innovators discussion and share another subject that is important to me: a Christian view of creation.

Target Your Base
My traditional, conservative church rightly warns against the rising tide of liberalism in evangelical churches and reminds us that we must believe something to be saved. Across town, there is a left-leaning church (determined by the fact that “Yes, We Can” bumper stickers outnumber the Christian fish symbol on cars in the parking lot) that…

The Economy, Christians, and Plato
I used to laugh at the advertisements for no-money down, interest only, adjustable rate mortgages. Who in their right mind would take out a loan they could never begin to pay back? Even worse, who in their right mind would loan to such borrowers? Now I realize that this was no laughing matter, for these…
