Saturday, April 28th, 2007Introducing Reformation Hardware! Reformation Hardware is a store that offers a (growing) handful of Reformation related items, tastefully done. We’re nailing the Reformation to the 21st century. T-shirts, mouse pads, stickers with Reformation mottos and images. I just ordered the mouse pad. At this point, Reformation Hardware is a CafePress storefront, but we hope to [...]
Foisted on His Own Leotard
Friday, April 27th, 2007Ah, Doug Wilson (no, that’s not him to the left there.) My admiration for him comes and goes like the tide. It is currently rising. Not sure why, but it just is. Must be the moon. Anyway, Doug has written in response to the rise of the New Atheists and today I came across one [...]
Calling Superman
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007Well, well. It looks like “sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide with fluorine” or as we like to call it “kryptonite” may be real! Now, can we please locate Superman? We need some help in Iraq. Tell him that we promise not to use jadarite, er, kryptonite on him. Promise. For reals. And we won’t let [...]
Am I a Church Planter?
Friday, April 20th, 2007I got the feedback from my assessment today. Here is the summary: The assessment team recognizes Tim as an elder caliber man who is more of a waterer than a planter. The assessment team recommends that Tim pursue placement in an established ministry as either a solo pastor or associate. The assessment team recommends that [...]
What Doesn’t Kill You…
Friday, April 13th, 2007A recent article at First Things points out that: This Lent we have seen the Discovery Channel airing a documentary about the “Lost Tomb of Jesus,†a New York confectioner making a life-sized Jesus out of chocolate, Newsweek boldly asking “Is God Real?,†and the New York Times discussing both theism as the outgrowth of [...]
The Significance of the Resurrection
Monday, April 9th, 2007My Google news aggrate picked up an interesting article in the Burbank Leader which was printed on Saturday before Easter. Various religious traditions were asked about the reality of Jesus’ resurrection. Take a look for yourself, it is a fairly short read but a revealing one. Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the [...]
He Is Risen!
Sunday, April 8th, 2007He is risen indeed! Happy Easter. But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they [...]
A Pastor’s Devotion
Saturday, April 7th, 2007Devotion to God–there is no substitute for this in the preacher’s character and conduct. Devotion to a church, to opinions, to an organization, to orthodoxy–these are paltry, misleading, and vain when they become the source of inspiration. God must be the mainspring of the preacher’s efforts, the fountain and crown of his toil. The name [...]
CNN | One Scientist’s Faith
Friday, April 6th, 2007Recently on Fresh Air Terry Gross did back to back shows where she interviewed the famous atheist Richard Dawkins and Francis Collins, the head of the human genome project and a believer in Jesus Christ. I’ve downloaded the podcasts but haven’t had a chance to listen to them yet. This morning I was poking around [...]
The Ringing Bell
Thursday, April 5th, 2007Derek Webb has a new CD coming out. This one is more rock than his previous CDs were. If you preorder (no, I haven’t yet but am considering it) you get a 96-page graphic novel and you can download the CD before it is release. When I get the CD I’ll post some comments. The [...]
