This is a half-hour film that I wish everyone would watch and consider. Give it a chance. It could be a life-changer for you or someone you know. Warning: it does contain some graphic images. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y2KsU_dhwI?rel=0&w=560&h=315]

Joel Osteen
I have inside word that Joel Osteen is under stress. It seems a woman has been stalking him in one manner or another. While precautions have been taken, these things can take their toll. Even Jesus found it necessary – and increasingly difficult – […]
Christianity’s radical growth
There's an excellent article today by Ryan Mauro on the comparative growth rates of Christianity and Islam, and also on the quality of the faith of those who believe.

My neighbor’s dog
Discipline is necessary for maturity. We should not be discouraged at trials, because the Lord’s perfect love is behind his discipline. Several months ago a family moved in next door. We live on a lake, but their house is maybe 50 feet below mine, […]
Finding significance in God
I’ve been processing some pain lately, and I’ve felt the need to trace it to its root. When we have recurring spontaneous pain, it’s like the warning light on a car’s dashboard. It’s a sure sign that there’s something going on under the hood […]
review: Dating Jesus, by Susan Campbell
Dating Jesus: A Story of Fundamentalism, Feminism, and the American Girl Dating Jesus is very well written. Ms. Campbell is a bit younger than I, from a different part of the country, and of a different gender, but she is a great storyteller and […]
An Act of Worship
Mary, by Sholem Asch I’m posting here my Amazon review of Sholem Asch’s book, Mary. If I can introduce anyone to the outstanding Christian works of Asch, I will have done a good thing. -p. When I was done reading this book, my soul […]
