Something about Evangelicalism isn’t transferring to the next generation. That fact became abundantly clear in the last presidential election, when many traditional Evangelicals were shocked – shocked – to discover that so many Christians had actually voted for Obama. The Huffington Post writes that Evangelicalism is Failing a New Generation. The writer suggests three major… Continue reading the shifting of young evangelicals
I love Twitter, and often find interesting links that I don’t have time to write a blog post about. While you can see my daily tweets over in the sidebar, it occurred to me that if you don’t follow me on Twitter, or you’re not on Twitter (and why aren’t you on Twitter?) it might… Continue reading weekly tweet roundup
Monday’s post started a conversation about Art, which made me think of a couple of posts I wrote awhile back, attempting to define what Art is – and is not – for Christians. I posted the first yesterday. Here’s the second, originally titled “Is it Christian?” It was in reply to a blog post about… Continue reading … and “christian” art
…The Lord God made them all. On Monday, I took sweet Jerry Anderson to the vet for the last time. He was getting old, and I’m thankful I had forewarning and the chance to manage things so there are only good memories. He was a good little buddy, and I hope you’ll indulge me posting… Continue reading all creatures great and small…

And included a quote about waiting on God, and how if we can’t see the way forward, that “He accounts Himself responsible for all the results of keeping thee where thou art.” Yesterday, heading out for a walk, I discovered a package on my front porch. Addressed to… Continue reading Jesus loves me – this I know
I’m not very good at waiting. I’m more of a “take action and make something happen” kind of person. Unfortunately, being unemployed isn’t really a position where you can make many demands. (Well, you can make them, but…) Anyway, if you’re like me – maybe unemployed or for whatever reason stuck in an in-between place… Continue reading waiting: not just a 4-letter word
In a very interesting circle of events, former Los Angeles Times investigative journalist Bill Lobdell has joined with ex-felon Barry Minkow to launch iBusiness Reporting, “an online news operation that will report on business corruption and fraud.” Bill is the author of “Losing My Religion: How I Lost My Faith Reporting on Religion in America–and… Continue reading unique team investigates fraud
It’s there… looming. Oh yes, the Superbowl hype and parties and such allow you to ignore it this weekend, but then there it is, blocking out all light on the horizon. What singles refer to as “Black Sunday.” Couple of suggestions. First, you may warily consider seeing the movie Valentine’s Day with its “all-star ensemble… Continue reading valentines planning
