Um, No Thanks, Not like You
Al Qaeda’s #2 has called on Americans to embrace Islam, presumably his version. Um, no thanks. Even melting down, we’re better off. Oh, and by the way, Muslim calls to embrace Islam bring memories of Muslim conquest, not to mention recent terror attacks, just as Christian calls to convert the whole Muslim world bring back…

Thinking about Business Regulation
The current financial crisis has been cast as a failure of the left by the right, and failure of the right by the left. Did laissez faire capitalism fail or was it excessive taxation or regulation? Perhaps it was a combination. I use “left” and “right” here strictly in the context of capitalism, with “right”…

A Double Holiday
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, but it is also just a day before my anniversary. Nine years ago, my wife Jody and I joined our lives together. That year it was a Sunday. We chose to have a Sunday wedding, after the church service, and slipped off to our honeymoon. Each Thanksgiving is thus a double…

Christianity Today Blog for Women in Leadership
I’m a consistent advocate for women in church leadership, i.e. unrestricted in following God’s call and using their gifts. Thus, when reading my Church Laughs today (this one didn’t tickle me that much-some of them are hilarious), I was happy to find an add for a “new” blog, Gifted for Leadership, for women in ministry….

Connection and Expectation: In Tension or Complementary?
It’s not surprising that, as I read the passages for Advent 1B, [corrected from 1A-What can I have been thinking?] I got the sense of expectation, and even just a bit (or more) of impatience. We have the prayer for God’s intervention and protection in Psalm 80, the cry for God to rend the heavens…

Introduction to 1 Corinthians (Audio)
The following audio introduction comes from a previously podcast series on 1 Corinthians. It will serve as introductory notes for the various comments I will make on passages from 1 Corinthians. I think it is very important to consider the structure of the letter in understanding these passages. The first epistle to the Corinthians is…
