Sitemeter includes my three personal blogs, this one, Bible Study, and Threads

Looking at Form and Genre

Awilum has a short post that makes a couple of good points related to literary genre, which I’ve been discussing in a couple of posts, and will discuss some more.

You should go read his post, but let me highlight the points that caught my attention:

Form and genre are not the same
Form is not binary

I would [...]

Intelligent Design and Answer All Questions

Through this week’s Christian Carnival I found two posts on science and religion that interested me. One I agree with completely, and I just want to underline a couple of points. The other, not so much, though it is still a good article.

The first is An intelligently designed universe from Sun and Shield. [...]

Government Regulated Media != Free Media

The following from YouTube illustrates why I simply don’t trust politicians for anything. There being a perceived imbalance in talk radio in favor of conservatives, to which I say “Who cares?”, a number of liberals are now calling for government control, obviously because we all know that the government is always fair in the [...]

New Philophronos Blogroll Member

I join with Laura in welcoming Discovering the Heart of God as a new Philophronos Blogroll member. Go check out his blog.

I’m going to link to a specific post from the Pacesetters Bible School Newsletter to which I’m the primary contributor.

Great Moments of (choose your label) Hypocrisy

Fellow philophronos blogger Laura has made a number of excellent points in a post titled Great Moments in Conservative Hypocrisy. Now I’m not linking back so I can crow and say, “See! Those conservatives were hypocrites all along, and finally one of them is recognizing it!”

First, I would have to note that I [...]

Being Other Worldly or Being Christian

The Evangelical Ecologist has an excellent post titled Closing Credibility Gaps. I think that I’m in a good position to underline his post, as a member of a congregation of the United Methodist Church, one of those declining mainline denominations. Just so the error seekers know that I saw it, I will quibble [...]

In Memory of Dr. Brevard S. Childs

For those who do not read scholarly works it may seem strange to feel bereaved when someone whom you have never actually met dies. I discovered via Levellers that Dr. Brevard S. Childs has passed away. He will be missed in Biblical scholarship, and though I never met him, I am deeply sorry [...]

Information from Minnesota Newspaper on Cheri Yecke Challenged

The blog of Florida Citizens for Science (of which I am a board member) is reporting that “Dr. Cheri Pierson Yecke, K-12 chancellor for Florida’s Department of Education, has apparently hired a company called ReputationDefender to search the Internet for information about her and, on her behalf, challenge items she disputes.”

You can find more on [...]

John Webb, PCL Pitcher of the Week

We interrupt the usual flow of commentary on this blog for something both baseball and personal . . .

My stepson John Webb is pitcher of the week for the PCL, according to this MiLB.com story. John allowed only three hits in 8 shutout innings while earning the win against the then-division leading Nashville Sounds.

He’s [...]

Condescension on Creationism

A recent comment by seeker accuses me of condescension:

It would be hard for us to have a conversation on this, because your condescension is so thick it would be like climbing uphill through dirty axle grease.

What interests me is that if a moderate or liberal remains quiet or speaks tolerantly of another position, he or [...]
