Steve Matheson regarding Chapter 6 of Steven Meyer’s Signature in the Cell: “It’s short, unimportant and uninteresting.” That will show him! (0)

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

What He Said

Troy Britain has it absolutely right on freedom of speech, with the added bonus that I get to agree with Christopher Hitchens at the same time, which doesn’t happen nearly as often.

Moving Bright Kids Forward

The U. S. News Blog reports that schools in some states, including my home state of Florida, are making it possible for Middle School students to take advanced courses that might normally only be available in High School.

My reaction to this is positive. Anything that improves education is a good thing. As I [...]

I Don’t Understand This

From CBS News:

Eighty percent of speech watchers approve of President Obama’s plans for dealing with the economic crisis. Before the speech, 63 percent approved.

Fifty-one percent of speech watchers think the president’s economic plans will help them personally. Thirty-six thought so before the speech.

I have mixed emotions about President Obama’s economic policies, and I had mixed [...]

Rewarding Incompetence

There was quite a stir recently over a rant by Rick Santelli of CNBC on the mortgage plan produced by the Obama administration. One of the claims made was that this plan was “rewarding incompetence.”

Now without regard to context, I wouldn’t have a problem with that. Where I do have a problem is [...]

Speaking the Truth is News

… when the Secretary of State does it. I thought many of these things were so obvious they hardly needed said, but apparently the obvious can be offensive. Perhaps a little truth will help diplomacy. Or not…

Ten Beliefs of (some) Progressive Christians

John Shuck (Shuck and Jive) found this list here, and as I’m teaching a Sunday School class this morning precisely on who will be saved and how, I find it rather interesting.

I would suggest that a group has to have something substantial that is both distinctive and held in common to be cohesive and effective. [...]

Dan Wallace Reposts on Post Cartoon

You can find his further thoughts again at Reclaiming the Mind. If you read the first one, you should read this one as well.

The Osteens New Bible

This headline caught my attention: Osteens offer hope for today with new Bible. Obviously the headline doesn’t mean what one could construe it to mean; it’s a study Bible, not a rewritten Bible, but the headline still struck me as funny. I do have problems with single themed study Bibles, but that’s [...]

The Shocking Nature of Grace?

Grace is shocking, if you think about it, because by definition someone gets something unearned.

But in Calvinism, it seems, grace becomes even more shocking. Adrian Warnock posts a quote from Jonathan Edwards that expresses predestination quite well. You are saved by grace, someone else isn’t. Edwards notes that “although all things are [...]

Dan Wallace is Angry

… about the New York Post “chimp” cartoon. While he and I wouldn’t see eye to eye on many things (though his Greek Grammar beyond the Basics is brilliant!) I particularly appreciate this coming from him.

I don’t regard printing this cartoon as responsible, but I want to make sure to note that I think [...]
