Real-Life Sanctification: How Much Television Should a Christian Watch?

I actually figured this one out the other day. Turns out the correct amount rounds out to about eight hours a week. Just thought that you might want to know. And with that, I bring this bad joke to a close, even as I ask this question in a serious manner: how much tv should [...]

Dispatches from T4G: Day Three–Sacrifice and Sayonara

Today’s very quick thoughts: 1. One of the hardest things about T4G is the fact that many friends from the past are around. We’re talking the type who you never see. This makes it really hard to know what to do in organizing one’s schedule. Do you listen to the speaker who’s got great things [...]

Dispatches from T4G: Day One–Band of Bloggers and Our Own Pastor-Comedian

I’m writing this at an extremely advanced hour and am nearing my crash point. However, the T4G conference has been so encouraging, so moving, that it’s hard not to be energized in body by the refreshment of spirit I’ve received. There’s much to say, but I’ll just give you a numbered list of interesting moments [...]

T4G Week at Consumed: Coming Up, Dispatches from the Conference

The Week-est Link, March 14, 2008: 9 Crimes, and the Sound of Falling Slowly

1. Earlier this week, I wrote about the movie Once. Here’s the movie’s key song, “Falling Slowly”. Tell me it’s not a great song. It’s especially exhilarating to see the song performed in the movie. It’s all make-believe, of course, but in the movie, the key actors compose it together in a music store. It’s [...]

Last Day in the Office: Reflections on Working for Dr. Mohler

For the last three and a half years, I have worked on campus at Southern Seminary in Louisville, KY. For the last two and a half years, I have worked in the President’s Office, and a year and a half of that time has been devoted to research for an upcoming book on Christian manhood. [...]

The Week-est Link, Dec. 28 2008

1. There’s a new Death Cab for Cutie album coming out very soon. Follow this link to watch a little video that gives a few details about the record. Death Cab is one of those cutting edge bands who everybody talks about. Sometimes these bands aren’t really that good, but Death Cab is quite good, [...]

The Week-est Link, Dec. 7

1. The strangest–and most hilarious–commercial I’ve ever seen. Suffice it to say that after you watch this, you will never hear the words “berries and cream” in the same way. Also, go here to discover more of Starburst’s excessively strange commercials. 2. This man takes good pictures. My wife and I randomly met him and [...]
