Hoagy Carmichael was a genius and "Heart and Soul" is a lovely tune. Even a sloppy rendition can be enjoyable. The second and maybe even the third rendition may be fun and pleasant. But the fourth time through, and the fifth, and the sixth, will be less enjoyable. Read more
Everybody has one. I have one. So do you. So's your mother. Jesus had one. Adam and Eve both had them, even before the Fall. God made them. And "God saw everything that God had made, and indeed, it was very good." So if you're skeeved out by the existence of assholes -- if you wish you didn't have one, or if you wish that other people didn't have them -- then you've wandered into the realm of Bad Theology.

Good news for manufactured-home owners in California and New Hampshire. Want to buy a house for $1? The "Bible Prophecy Blog" is not a blog and it is not about Bible prophecy. I apparently graduated from the third most beautiful Christian university. Another "no duh" study explains why that Lexus just cut you off in traffic. The one-man NAFTA Superhighway. Read more
The "Gospel Coalition's" Thabiti Anyabwile imagines -- in great detail -- what other couples may do together in private, and then suggests that their private acts are somehow more shameful than his public fascination with other people's private acts. The man is a peeping tom -- and also, apparently, the World's Most Awkward Sexter. Read more
C.S. Lewis warns against the lure of wanting to view those we think of as bad as even worse than they are. That desire is part of the story Doktor Zoom shares there. Exactly the thing that Lewis describes is what makes the audience for Fox News and Bryan Fischer so eager to swallow their mendacious selective editing. It's what makes them actively refuse to question even the most obviously dubious claims about those they are predisposed to dislike. Read more
This is a pretty good Constitution. Feel free to use it. The whole thing is online, so you can just copy and paste. Control-A, Control-C, Control-V and you're done. Well, almost done. You might want to edit a little. We've done some editing ourselves over the years. Read more
Benny Hinn is even weirder than you thought. How did tanning salons ever become cool? Photos of history. The news from North Carolina. Two departures and one welcome return. Republican outreach to people with pre-existing health conditions is stumbling. Please don't tell people "One day this will all make sense to you." Read more
Don't get me wrong -- I think post-millennialism is a flawed theology. But if the Second Coming of Jesus is going to influence how Christians respond to injustice, I don't want to hear us invoking pre-millennialist pessimism and saying that "Some things are not going to change until Jesus comes." If that's the only other option, then I'd prefer the post-millennial view: "Jesus isn't going to come until some things change." Read more
I think Chambers would likely have been horrified at the prospect of a reader settling in and giving such preeminence to "My Utmost for His Highest" for three years in a row. Read more
Scrap metal. A baby dinosaur webcam. The land of the free. More news from Texas that could only be news from Texas. "Bobby stayed in." Does Benny Hinn's brother admitting an affair disqualify him from ministry more than being Benny Hinn's brother already does? Unspeakably blasphemous shambling birthday wishes to H.P. Lovecraft.
