I think Rachel Held Evans definitely deserves an award for the title of her post today, about the Personal Promise Bible. In case you haven’t heard of it, this Bible adds your name into many verses, so that you can read them as though it were written specifically for you. The title of Rachel’s post encapsulates the very important point she makes ever so nicely and succinctly: “The Bible: It’s Just Not That Into You“ You’ll often hear people refer... Read more
Click through to see an excellent cartoon by Mark Parisi. There’s a parable in it about an approach to education and assessment that doesn’t take into account different personality types and learning styles, isn’t there? Read more
A blog was recently brought to my attention. It reflects a relative newcomer to Doctor Who, who is blogging about the show, and reflecting in the process on their own shift away from a more fundamentalist approach to religion. It is called Whovian Theology. Read more
I previously posted an image I had come across with some rules for blog discussion – which led to some interesting discussion! I thought I should follow up with the rules and laws of the internet, which came to my attention on Facebook. Read more
I am sharing this now so that Whovians who wish to do so can get their supplies ready for making these Dalek-style Doctor Who Easter eggs. Read more
A young Christian wrote an e-mail expressing concern about doubt.

If you consider Paul’s use of Abraham as the primary example of faith, what Christian doctrines did Abraham believe in? Trinity? No. Jesus? Not an option at that point... Read more

So here it is again – a demo version of my song “House of Mirrors”! Lyrics: House of Mirrors You made us in your image And we’ve returned the favor Every kind of people With gods of every flavor We see ourselves in... Read more
Here's a demo version the latest song I've been working on. It should be considered a rough draft, but I'd appreciate feedback on the lyrics, the theology, and the music. The “guitar solo” should be treated as a placeholder – in fact, it should be described as a “'guitar' solo” since no actual guitars feature in this recording, although I hope it isn't obvious unless I tell you! Here are the lyrics (apologies if the formatting was messed up when... Read more
HT Joel Watts The story of Anakin Skywalker is a story of repentance and redemption. But if the story had played out a little differently, and a little closer to home, would the above cartoon have been the result? If you don't think so, then feel free to describe – or even draw, if you are so inclined – what you think would have happened if Anakin's repentance had been an Evangelical Christian conversion experience.
