ABC’s Nightline - Does God Exist?
I stayed up fairly late last night watching the debate on ABC’s Nightline between 2 Christians (Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort) and 2 atheists (Brian Sapient and Kelly) about the question of whether God exists. There were many of the same arguments I’d heard before, with some newer ones that made me think a little […]
Interesting Read…
I just finished reading the very intriguing narrative detailing the SMBI Costa Rica Tour over on Hans Mast’s blog, one of my regular reads. Sharon Mennonite Bible Institute has to be one of the most unusual Mennonite Bible Schools out there. I highly respect the work they have accomplished with young people, as well as […]
Oregon - 2 Weekends
I spent the last two weekends in Oregon. Two separate trips; two very different yet similar experiences.
Weekend #1 consisted of an 8 hour road trip to the town of John Day, in Eastern Oregon. I visited a shooting range, the wonderful people of John Day Mennonite Church, and a newly built mansion built […]Absolutes In A World of Variables
In school I absolutely loved mathematics… until algebra came on the radar. All of a sudden, there was no absolute answer and no absolute way to come to that variable answer. It took me by complete surprise and I don’t think I ever recovered. Mathematics still fascinates me (yes even Algebra, Calculus, Geometry and the […]
Summit Ministries - Real Christianity for Our Modern World
I was introduced to some excellent messages from Summit Ministries. Here are the topics covered in these audio recordings:
Why Students Walk Away from the Faith
How We Lost Our Minds - The Challenge of Postmodernism
Guarding Your Heart In A World Of Distraction
The Brave New World of Biotechnology
Why Does God Let Me Hurt. The Problem of Evil […]Creation Wiki
Well, hopefully I’ll find more varied subjects than interesting websites to blog about, however this site on creation is about the best I’ve seen. Of course it is a wiki, which means it is contributed to by visitors to the site. This is known as mass collaborative authoring, which, if you hadn’t guessed by now, […]
Menno Discuss
About 6-8 months ago, I first discovered the unparalleled discussion board known as Menno Discuss. With 964 registered users and 107,790 postings (as of Jan. 17, 2007), it is truly a living breathing rendezvous for Mennonite/Anabaptist folks to discuss just about anything under the sun. In browsing the various threads, I noticed that […]
The Cry of Blood - Thoughts On Missions
The methods used in the work of Christian missions has changed over the years, but the need has not. I discovered this story/allegory on GTO’s website HERE. I think every Christian has a responsibility to missions, be they foreign or local.
THE CRY OF BLOOD
By Amy Carmichael
The
tom-toms thumped straight on all night and the […]On Life and Literature – A Book List
I was thinking recently of the effects of the written word on our lives as people. Books have shaped my understanding of the world I live in profoundly, more so than the average American I think. Growing up without internet, television, movies, public school, and for the most part without public libraries, any […]
