Christians, Are You Ready For The Da Vinci Code?

October 20, 2005

The Da Vinci Code movie is on its way. Are you ready to blog knowledgeably about it? Unbelievers (and not a few Christians) may scoff at us for taking The Da Vinci Code phenomenon so seriously. But pop culture is powerful, and although we surely have more productive things to do, setting the record straight [...]

Jim Crow Redux

October 19, 2005

Despite a California law that prohibits sex and skin color preferences in public hiring and admissions, socialist bureaucrats in the Los Angeles Unified School District (read about it here) believe they’re exempt. There is precedent for that belief. Once upon a time the United States government was in the business of codifying separation of the [...]

Saddam Hussein: Still Feisty After All These Months

October 19, 2005

I pity the fool who tries to deny my right to a fair trial! Facing execution by hanging, a feisty Saddam Hussein “scuffled” with guards at his trial and pleaded “innocent” to charges of murder and mayhem, although there’s no such plea. But Saddam has more important things on his mind, I’m sure. Probably traumatized [...]

State of the Blogosphere, Part I

October 18, 2005

Check it out. (Hat tip: Business Blog Consulting) Also see Top Ten Design Mistakes. My biggest pet peeves: 1) Blogs with no “About” section. You don’t have to write a multi-page bio, just tell us something about yourself, even if blogging anonymously. 2) Difficult-to-find or no e-mail address. Did you know that 6.4 billion people [...]

FEMA Pays for Strippers and Liquor

October 18, 2005

We all know it’s a bad idea for government to give people money for doing absolutely nothing, right? Speaking of nothing, there’s absolutely nothing shocking about this story. They ought to give hurricane victims vouchers for food and supplies, I said to myself when I first heard about the $2000 debit cards. But George Bush [...]

Homeland Security Chief Seeks to End ‘Catch and Release’ Immigration Policy

October 18, 2005

“Our goal at DHS (Homeland Security) is to completely eliminate the ‘catch and release’ enforcement problem, and return every single illegal entrant, no exceptions….Today, a non-Mexican illegal immigrant caught trying to enter the United States across the southwest border has an 80 percent chance of being released immediately because we lack the holding facilities,” he [...]

Fallen But Forgiven: Post-GodBlogCon

October 17, 2005

Excessive pride. I’ve got it, and it’s not pretty. Like most humans, I don’t like admitting weakness, either. It’s Monday afternoon, and I’m recovering from a three-day trip to California. The words drained and sluggish come to mind. This happens to other people, right? Of course it does. Reasons: I never got used to the [...]

What It Means to Be a Christian

October 16, 2005

Being a Christian is more than identifying yourself with a particular religion or affirming a certain value system. Being a Christian means you have embraced what the Bible says about God, mankind, and salvation. Consider the following truth found in Scripture. God Is Sovereign Creator. Contemporary thinking says man is the product of evolution. But [...]

Hugh Hewitt Live

October 14, 2005

5:55 p.m. (PT): Hugh Hewitt broadcast his show live from Biola University, and it was standing-room only. He interviewed a number of attendees, and I was supposed to be one of them. But I missed my queue. I was being interviewed by someone else at the time, so I’m only a little upset. Lots of [...]

Christian Bloggers, Men and Women, Baptists and Presbyterians

October 14, 2005

2:00 p.m. (PT) Putting aside substance for a minute, let’s talk about form. Stacy Harp asked a question about the prevalence of male bloggers in the blogosphere generally and the evangelical Christian side specifically. Stacy also blogs at the Christian Persecution Blog. Her question emboldened someone to ask why the main discussion panel was comprised [...]

Live-Blogging GodBlogCon

October 14, 2005

9:20 a.m. (PT) — I know LBC readers like/love my political rants, but today I’m avoiding it as if my life depends on. GodBlogCon (check for updates) is about Christian bloggers talking about blogging as Christians, most of whom happen to be politically conservative. It shouldn’t matter, but it does. This morning we’re listening to [...]

God Blog Convention

October 12, 2005

I’ll be in California tomorrow for the GodBlogCon. I’m leading a session called Christian Blogging 101. I led a session called Faith-Based Blogging at BlogNashville in May, and we all got along very well, considering I’m an evangelical Christian and most of the attendees weren’t. “Religious right” stereotypes, and all that. I was sort of [...]

Vanguard

October 12, 2005

Monday, October 22: See my review of Joseph Phillips’s book, He Talk Like A White Boy. ——————————————————— Previous post: Reclaiming Our Destiny No, no, no, Joseph! Porky Pig stutters, not Elmer Fudd! I won’t give a play-by-play of the discussion, but I’ll make a few comments. The program could have gone on for several days. [...]

Reclaiming Our Destiny

October 11, 2005

This afternoon I’m attending a conference called Reclaiming Our Destiny: The New Black Vanguard Conference II at the Heritage Foundation. I didn’t attend the first conference last year, probably because I wasn’t able to take the afternoon off from work. A panel of black conservatives, moderated by Jesse L. Peterson of Brotherhood of a New [...]

‘Christian’ Elements in Fiction

October 10, 2005

December 5, 2005: Did you surf here from Google? Visit my new blog, Fantasy Fiction for Christians. ——————————————————————————————– While reading articles on the Harry Potter phenomenon, I found myself intrigued by the “Christian” elements of children’s literature. I assume most people have at least heard of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, part of [...]
