In the last 12 hours, the call, the rule, and the interpretation has been hashed and rehashed. Fair enough. Here are a couple thoughts from my perspective: (more…) Read more
That’s what my article is about in tomorrow’s Travel section of the StarTribune. Well, about that and the rest of our trip to the dude ranch in August. Plus, the always awesome photos Courtney Perry. Read more
This week’s Question That Haunts Christianity came from Davidson, a 15-year-old high school student: I’m not quite sure if this is how your readers present their questions to you, but if it is, I have one for you. I am a scholar at heart. I love to learn just about anything. I plan to study theology, English, and philosophy at Liberty University. The latter is, well, part of my question. I have always thought that philosophers have been God-gifted men who have... Read more

You may have seen the announcement last week that Joshua DuBois had been added as a 21-minute speaker at Christianity21. Josh has been President Obama’s informal faith advisor for years, and his new book with 365 devotions he wrote for POTUS drops today. Now, this week, we’re starting to roll out our selections to give 7-21 Talks at C21. A 7-21 Talk is a 7-minute talk with 21 slides, timed at 20 seconds each. Think of it as the JoPa... Read more

I failed to respond to last week’s Question That Haunts. It didn’t capture my attention. I don’t have anything interesting to say about baptismal regeneration. I’m sorry to Pastor Gary, who submitted the question. I let you down, Gary. All I’ve got is this comment from Mark Kirschieper: The topic doesn’t much move me much, either.
