Because There Is A Difference

I was watching TV the other night, and there was a commercial for Capri Sun. Two moms were chaperoning their children’s field trip and they were sitting together on the bus ride, arguing over who was the cool mom.

A Question About Reading Levels

I’m over at Reformation21 today posing some questions about reading levels. Does the average person have the reading level to read their Bible? There’s much more related to this that could be discussed. Feel free to comment here after you read the article.

As a matter of fact, […]

Did Adam Already Know Good from Evil Before Eating from the Tree?

  …And A Whole Rabbit Trail of Related Questions. It’s good to ask questions when you read and I am currently reading a stimulating book that has me asking a bunch. My major award came in the mail the other day, weighing in at 545 pages of awesomeness: Divine Covenants and Moral Order, A Biblical […]

A Celebrity Status to Which We Aspire

I posted an article on Ref21 today about the ugly in evangelical celebrity culture and that celebrity to which we can aspire.
