  • what is marriage?

    Last week I explained to my daughter that she was no longer allowed to watch the Disney television show, “Good Luck Charlie.” She understood that we love gay people and appreciate the many good things that they may contribute to society, but we don’t like how Disney is openly trying to force children to accept…

  • webinar on doubt

    If you or a friend are struggling with doubt, and who hasn’t?, consider signing up for a free Webinar I’m doing with Radio Bible Class next Wednesday, February 5, from 1:00-2:00 EST. If you aren’t available at that time, you can listen to a later, archived version if you sign up now. The only difference…

  • every 20 years

    How will the new creation compare with the old? Maybe something like this. Update:  I just sold the old one to a fellow who lived in my hometown in Ohio, so that makes me happy. I don’t know the right way to say this, but now my wife is the person/thing I have lived with…

  • Adam, where art thou?

    I just read Peter Enns’ disturbing book, The Evolution of Adam, which attempts to integrate evolution with Paul’s belief in a historical Adam. If this book is the evangelical path to the future, our children are in a heap of trouble. Enns says that Paul clearly believed that Adam was the historical first man whose…

  • my santa

    I’ve never liked Santa, in part because you can’t spell his name without using the same letters found in Satan. But I would have liked the original St. Nicholas, who went Dick Cheney on the heretic Arius at the Council of Nicea. Apparently Nick grew weary of listening to Arius’ slippery words, and he walked…

  • congratulations

    I would like to congratulate Northeast Ohio for raising a young man in a single parent home, surrounding him with devoted mentors and father figures, and cheering him on to become a world champion, the best basketball player on the planet. And for not being bitter.

  • hate crimes

    I just read this disturbing article in CT about a wedding photographer who was successfully sued in New Mexico for refusing on religious grounds to photograph a lesbian wedding. The worm is turning exceedingly fast, and it’s worth asking who is discriminating against whom. It seems that it’s possible for homosexuals to hate too.

  • wrong on so many levels

    I am pretty sure this isn’t funny, but it caught me in a weak moment. Hint:  check the drapes. For you serious people, this comic is using humor to demonstrate how bad questions may lead to even worse answers.

  • what I learned about death, part 1

    I promised I would share a few things I learned while researching The Last Enemy, and the first comes from Stephen Prothero’s book, God Is Not One. Prothero explained how each religion attempts to solve a different problem, and the unique problem that Christianity solves is death. Here is an excerpt from The Last Enemy:…
