Remember this series of posts from several months ago?
I wrote about the book “Religion Saves (and 9 other misconceptions)” by Mark Driscoll, head pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle.
The book is based on the sermon series by the same name (which you can watch, listen to, or download for free).
Well, this month, like every [...]

This is the trailer for a documentary that was recently released called “Collision”.
Here’s the synopsis, as copied from the ‘About’ page of the website:
COLLISION carves a new path in documentary film-making as it pits leading atheist, political journalist and bestselling author Christopher Hitchens against fellow author, satirist and evangelical theologian Douglas Wilson, as they go [...]

It’s a conference just for you, with music from Chris Tomlim, Steve Fee, and others, and life-changing teaching from Louie Giglio, Francis Chan, John Piper, Beth Moore, and others!

While sitting in my cube this afternoon — twiddling my thumbs and waiting for some processes to catch up with me so I can keep working — I came across this article on the BBC.
That lizard in the photo above: it’s called the “Jesus Christ” lizard.
Seriously.

Hey, if you have a minute, would you mind cruising over to the Gap ‘casting call’ website and voting for Josiah?
You’ll find a couple of photos of Josiah, and if they get the most votes, we can use the cash to get his college fund started!
You can vote for as many photos as you want, [...]

This showed up in my inbox this week.
Chris Tomlin, Louie Giglio, & Christy Nockels will be doing a Christmas tour this year!
As you can see, they completely neglected our great state of North Carolina when they planned this thing, but I’m still tempted to try and get to Virginia Beach.
Anybody interested?

The bridge God used to bring Stephanie and I into each other’s lives in the first place was missions.
I had just returned from being overseas for almost a year, and Steph was in the process of heading overseas for a 2-year commitment, after 9 previous trips.
We decided to pause for a length of time to [...]

Just came across this article saying that one of the very last moves of the Bush administration was to designate Uzbekistan as one of the top 8 religious rights violators in the world.
It makes me sad that the Obama administration will probably completely ignore this because they ‘need’ to build an air force base there.
Here’s [...]

We went to the doctor yesterday and got some new pictures of BR! They did a 4-D ultrasound, which I had never heard of before:

It turns out that we have a little boxer!

Baby’s only a few ounces and already sucking the thumb!

Here’s how they did it

Steph already mentioned today that when I go to a christian bookstore, I can be a little like a kid in a candy store. That isn’t to say that I like everything they sell in those places. In fact, I’d say at least 50% of it outright unbiblical… but even the unbiblical stuff engages me [...]
