No More Christian Nice Guy
I caught a fascinating discussion with a Mr. Paul Coughlin and his new book, “No More Christian Nice Guy.” He raised many important points about our modern evangelical Christian faith and the nature of man and husband.

The Coming Influenza Pandemic?
The Coming Influenza Pandemic?
Be concerned. China has been covering up this epidemic. We only hear of one or two cases. In Hong Kong, were the communist leash is not too tight, they have reported 154 deaths so far. That’s pretty high for a “pig-borne” virus they believe and think it may have mutated into human-human.
Frightening stuff. They are far too proud to ask for help. Remember SARS? It had to spread to other countries before they even told of their cases. It hasn’t done that yet and the death toll is rumored to be higher than with SARS.
J. S. Bach: Happy Birthday!
J. S. Bach: Orthodox Lutheran Theologian?
Today on the anniversary of Bach’s transposition (ha!) into glory, take a read into a fascination discussion of Bach’s faith and how it influenced his music.

Use/Application of parables
The Kingdom defies the wisdom of the world. It is not what they think it is. For it belongs to the poor in spirit, not to the preachers who fill stadiums. It belongs to those who thirst for righteousness and not to those who’ve made their plan and improved their lives. The scribes who know these things have treasures new and old, hidden and revealed, to preach to and for the Kingdom. But who is sufficient for these things? Only Our Lord Jesus Christ. Yet He performs them, reveals Himself, despite us, by the power of His Word and Promise. His death and resurrection make saints out of sinners. Soon the Kingdom of God will come in glory. It will no longer be hidden and neither will you.

Evidence for a Young World
The concept of a creation science has one major issue IMHO. It seems a slipperly slope to total rationalism, i.e. How can God be three persons? Trying to explain the mystery of a 6 day creation in scientific terms will always be challenging, at best. Even so, it is interesting to cite different bits of scientific evidence and their contradiction to the current theories.
As long as these folks can maintain that the biblical record is infalliable and they seek only to find earthly evidence to support the account, I’m good. If you want to suggest that God meant 60 million years, not 6 days, I take issue.
Transformers Movie 7-04-07 !
Way cool! Finally a live action Transformers movie. Not only that, executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Check out the link below for an interview with Mr. Spielberg and his closet fascination with these toys.
For those still telling me Bono isn’t a Christian…
Looking Closer Journal: For those still telling me Bono isn’t a Christian…
Click the above link. It is a shockingly clear confession of faith from a mainstream pop music star. Their Christianity has never been hidden but isn’t always clear in their lyrics. It does help me understand his motives especially with the ONE campaign to free Africa from debt to draw them from poverty.
