Atheist-Christian Discussion

I have noticed from time to time that Christians become very angry with atheists or other skeptics in debate simply for being and saying who they are. Many regard any questioning of their faith positions as impolite, and some even regard such discussion as a form of persecution. It has always seemed odd [...]

Assurance and Success

It’s another early Sunday morning and it should shock nobody to know that I’m thinking about baseball, life, and spiritual matters. It is a little bit odd to me to realize how often I think of baseball metaphors these days. Until I started going out with Jody, now my wife, I never watched [...]

IntelligentVote.com

I like the idea behind this site. You can check off your choices on a number of key bills, and then it will compare those to the votes of your senators and congressman. You will need to either have followed certain issues fairly closely, or you may need to look up specifics of [...]

Independent Voters are Concerned

The Washington Post has an article headlined Independent Voters Favor Democrats by 2 to 1 in Poll, but in the article I found this paragraph:

Independent voters may strongly favor Democrats, but their vote appears motivated more by dissatisfaction with Republicans than by enthusiasm for the opposition party. About half of those independents who said they [...]

Philophronos Blogroll

Laura has posted some code to help add this important new blogroll to your site. Just head down to the bottom of that post to copy and paste. This blogroll is not just about this election. We wanted it to appear before this election, but we’ll be going straight into presidential issues [...]

Moderate Christian Blogroll Update

I have just added two new members to the Moderate Christian Blogroll and aggregator. Check out the lists. That makes 19 members of that blogroll at this point. I hope it continues to grow.

I am working on the aggregator. There are still some glitches which have to do with parsing what [...]

An Intelligent Designer in the Gaps

I think there is a great deal of misunderstanding of the problems with a “God of the gaps” position. This is not a logical fallacy, but rather is more like an observation on the one hand and an implication on the other. I’m not going to try here for a deep philosophical discussion, [...]

Who am I Trying to Please?

Note: I’m cross-posting this from my wife’s devotional list. I’ve been writing a number of devotionals for her during a season when she’s often too busy to write them. This one I thought might apply rather broadly right now, especially during the elections.

10So is it people that I’m trusting now, or God? [...]

The Beautiful Gate

I’ve been meditating a bit on Acts 3:1-10, the story of the healing of the lame man at the Beautiful gate of the temple. Often we look at stories like this and just think it’s a nice story of miraculous healing. But I believe that miracles are intended to communicate a message, and [...]

Philophronos Blogging

Laura (Pursuing Holiness) and I started discussing civility in debate about politics in a couple of comment exchanges and have continued via e-mail. As a result she proposed the idea of a blogroll and aggregator to support civil debate. In particular, we are challenging Christians to follow Christian principles in speaking the truth [...]
