"You can't handle the truth!" Saturday I watched A Few Good Men. Again. Some youngsters have a crush on Justin Bieber. I like Jack Nicholson, Kevin Bacon, and Kiefer Sutherland. There are not a few poignant scenes. ...

Candid from Canada – Jordon Cooper on Theological Conversations
One of these days I want to visit Saskatoon. Jordon tells me it is a beautiful place and a trip to Cooper Cabin could be just as fun as our sharing space ...
Kinnon Goes Ultimate Fighter
Bill Kinnon addresses one of the consequences of "church celebrity culture." In his recent post, "I Should Be Shocked," Bill calls into question what some mean by missional and the unusual practices that occur when we get the notion wrong. At the very least, "missional" should be understood as "for people" in the ...
Tony Suggests the Need for More Balloons
The recent publicity stunt pulled in the Colorado skies exposes our infatuation with news that is less than news. Whether or not this odd parental move lands the family another reality show or not, they did receive plenty of publicity.

If the shimmer comes off the Baptist Messenger with such an

Doug Wilson, Watermelons and Green Stuff
John noted this piece by Doug Wilson. I suspect it will spark a considerable debate in some quarters. What caught my attention was the language Doug used to describe the issue. Most often those resistant to going green receive the charge of coercion, as in lobbying politicians to look the other way, and ...
