"Amazing Grace," Hollywood Style

~ Michael ~ 2 Comments

"Too preachy?" That's a new one to me. Hollywood is taking out all the factual, religious elements of the movie Amazing Grace and replacing them with secular, humanistic socio-political motives. From the Wall Stree Journal (subscription required): Hollywood's 'Amazing' Glaze By CHARLOTTE ALLEN Wall Street Journal, February 23, 2007; Page W11 ...Alas, a lot of … Continue reading "Amazing Grace," Hollywood Style

The Evangelical Ecologist hosts this week's Christian Carnival CLXI, this week's best Christian postings. Hey, Chasing the Wind is on there this week. I'll post hosting the carnival here on February 28th; I'm starting to get a little apprehensive because it looks like a lot of work. Eeep!

Good friends that work for Campus Crusade for Christ have put up a new website I'd like to recommend. While the intended audience for their site are the students of Stephen F. Austin University, there are good basic fundamental questions and answers there. Visit Everylumberjack.com and look around. I've also added a link to their … Continue reading Everylumberjack.com

Old Testament Laws

~ Michael ~ 1 Comment

Do we know which Old Testament Laws apply to Christians? It's a good question. We know the legalistic rules no longer apply - I was just reading 1 Corinthians 7:17-20 today while studying how we are to bloom where we are planted, and Paul is clear that "Keeping God's commands is what counts" but he … Continue reading Old Testament Laws

God is in the Big Things, God is in the Small Things

~ Michael ~ 29 Comments

God spoke the universe into existence. Everything is made for His glory, including us. Something interesting a Christian friend shared with me this week. At the far edges of the universe, about as far as we can see, is the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51). It's 23 million light years away. Here's a photo from the Hubble … Continue reading God is in the Big Things, God is in the Small Things

Christian Carnival #CLVIII

~ Michael ~ Leave a comment

Are we up to #158 already? Something doesn't quite seem right. Anyway, the next Christian Carnival is up at the Participatory Bible Study Blog. See if you can find the Chasing the Wind article, then click it and see if you come back here. It would amuse me, anyway. 🙂

Daily Manna – 2 Corinthians 9:6-9

~ Michael ~ Leave a comment

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things … Continue reading Daily Manna – 2 Corinthians 9:6-9

Daily Manna – 2 Corinthians 2:14-17

But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

Holiday Culture Wars

~ Michael ~ Leave a comment

Beliefnet has setup a "Holiday Culture Wars Blog" that makes for some interesting reading. From a Christian perspective, they've highlighted television shows with sexually-explicit lyrics set to Christmas music, obscene art that is "rife with Christmas-themed debauchery," and how Christmas has become so secularized to the point where atheists "unhesitatingly wish everyone a Merry Christmas." … Continue reading Holiday Culture Wars

Christ is Missing

A manger scene without baby Jesus? ST. ALBANS, W.Va. - Christ is missing from Christmas in this small town. The community's holiday display has a manger with shepherds, a guiding star, camels and a palm tree, but no baby Jesus, Mary or Joseph. The parks superintendent said Jesus was left out because of concerns about … Continue reading Christ is Missing

Boycotting "Winter Holiday" Again

~ Michael ~ 5 Comments

I'm boycotting "Winter Holiday" again. If you want to celebrate some sort of pagan winter thingy, you just go right ahead. But if a retailer can't acknowledge that I'm celebrating Christmas, then I'm not going to shop there. I did this last year, too. Some changes from last year, though - Wal-Mart firmly has the … Continue reading Boycotting "Winter Holiday" Again

Compassionate Conservatism

~ Michael ~ Leave a comment

I can't say I'm surprised. A new study shows that conservatives give more than liberals in every way possible - more money, more time, more giving blood, etc. In the book, he [Arthur C. Brooks] cites extensive data analysis to demonstrate that values advocated by conservatives -- from church attendance and two-parent families to the … Continue reading Compassionate Conservatism

Elton John Would Ban Religion Completely

~ Michael ~ 2 Comments

From Drudge: Sir Elton John wants religion banned completely -- because he believes it promotes hatred of gays. Speaking to the Observer Music Monthly Magazine the singer said religion lacked compassion and turned people into "hateful lemmings". The PRESS ASSOCIATION reports: In a candid interview for a dedicated Gay issue of the magazine he shared … Continue reading Elton John Would Ban Religion Completely

Domestic Evangelism

~ Michael ~ 3 Comments

When I hear of mission groups reaching out to Americans, I know there's a need. While most people believe in God, I don't think most believe know why they believe in God or why that should be important to them. This latest poll on American's views on God show what I mean. Among the various … Continue reading Domestic Evangelism

Burning Babies

~ Michael ~ 3 Comments

I can hardly imagine the cognitive disassociation necessary. Here's a controversy from London; women are upset that, after an abortion, the hospital burns the aborted fetuses in the hospital incinerator. One local woman, who asked not to be named, said after the heartache of deciding to have an abortion she was mortified to find the … Continue reading Burning Babies

Which Theologian Are You?

~ Michael ~ 7 Comments

Actually, I confess I wasn't even sure of a couple of the questions. I'm surprised I wasn't closest to Martin Luther, though. I've never heard of Anselm before today. You scored as Anselm. Anselm is the outstanding theologian of the medieval period.He sees man's primary problem as having failed to render unto God what we … Continue reading Which Theologian Are You?

Facing the Giants

~ Michael ~ Leave a comment

Facing the Giants was a wonderful surprise movie this afternoon. I just don't know why I hadn't heard of it before this week. It's the story of a small Christian school's football team, and their triumph over defeat by placing their trust in God instead of man. So many wonderful Christian examples of how to … Continue reading Facing the Giants

Pope Must Die, Says Muslim

~ Michael ~ 2 Comments

That's what a London Muslim says. The Pope must die. 1 - Pope says Muslims can be violent. 2 - Muslims riot, burn the pope in effigy, and say the Pope must die. Have I misunderstood? I keep looking for quotes from leading Muslim leaders denouncing the violence, but if quotes like that exist, I … Continue reading Pope Must Die, Says Muslim

The Prayers of the Sinner

~ Michael ~ 5 Comments

I had dinner with some friends from church last night, and one of the more learned friends made a statement that at first I objected to, but the more I think about it, the more validity it seems to have. My question: Does God hear the prayers of the unrepentant sinner? In my own walk … Continue reading The Prayers of the Sinner

Forced Conversion

~ Michael ~ 3 Comments

I've been troubled by the recent story of the two journalists who were forced by their Palestinian kidnappers to accept Islam as a condition of their release. I'm not linking their story or names because I don't know certain details about their experience, but it does make me question. In Revelations 13:16-18, it says: He … Continue reading Forced Conversion

Psalms, Irish bogs, Protestants and Israel

~ Michael ~ 6 Comments

Yesterday, the news reports that medieval copy of the partial Psalms was found in an Irish bog. Interestingly, : "The book was found open to a page describing, in Latin script, Psalm 83, in which God hears complaints of other nations' attempts to wipe out the name of Israel." - (hat tip Atlasshrugs) Lets read … Continue reading Psalms, Irish bogs, Protestants and Israel

Review: House

~ Michael ~ 2 Comments

Sort of like combining Stephen King and C.S. Lewis. "House: The Only Way Out is In" (WestBow Press) is a very suspenseful and intense novel by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker. In fact, it's so intense, I cannot in good conscience recommend this to kids or to the squeamish. The entire first half of the … Continue reading Review: House

Review: The Da Vinci Codebreaker

~ Michael ~ 1 Comment

This book is a companion guide to The DaVinci Code trash that Dan Brown inflicted upon us. Dan Brown claims simultaneously that his book is both factual and fiction, enabling him to attack the Catholic Church and Christians and hide behind the "fiction" when the heat is on. Many don't know that even many of … Continue reading Review: The Da Vinci Codebreaker

Review: Presumed Guilty

Sex. Mystery. Intrigue. When fiction includes topic like sex, you just know it's going to be good. Presumed Guilty by author James Scott Bell and published by Zondervan tracks the fall of a minister, Ron Hamilton, as his good works switch from glorifying God to glorifying himself. His own self of self-esteem and his own … Continue reading Review: Presumed Guilty

Jesus Heals

~ Michael ~ 4 Comments

Presumably when Jesus was alive He didn't need bandages, but now you can buy bandages with His image on them for healing. Somehow it just doesn't seem right, but I can't put my finger on why. Healing comes from Jesus through prayer and grace, and a bandage with His picture doesn't fit into that equation … Continue reading Jesus Heals

Kenya Mission, Day 7

January 2, 2006 Today's Swahili phrase: hakuna matada, which means "Disney marketing phrase." No wait, it means "no worries." I've received a lot of encouragement to continue this series - we're about halfway through - but this next day was a very important day, full of eye-opening experiences, and frankly, just hard to get a … Continue reading Kenya Mission, Day 7

Review: Help! Mom! Hollywood's in My Hamper!

~ Michael ~ 2 Comments

Written by Katharine DeBrecht, the same woman who did Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!, this book takes a kid-friendly crack at Hollywood's influence on our children. Hollywood "look-alikes" (ahem) keep popping out of the closet and advising children that their lives are wrong! The Hollywood elites tell the girls what to eat, … Continue reading Review: Help! Mom!

In Love on God's Timetable

~ Michael ~ Leave a comment

I love to hear about new love, especially when it's rooted in faith in the Lord. My wife and I, as you know, "re-began" (if that's a word) our marriage based on just this type of faith. Jeff at Think Sink is asking for prayers for him: Yes, friends and stray readers (and you know … Continue reading In Love on God's Timetable

Government Fails to Stop Prayer

~ Michael ~ 2 Comments

I chuckled at thsi story. Isn't it prohibited for the US Government to prohibit freedom of religion? They succeed often, but not this time. The graduating students stood up and prayed The Lord's Prayer and the crowd gave them a standing ovation. Earlier in the day, a federal judge had banned prayers from the ceremony … Continue reading Government Fails to Stop Prayer

If I Had a Nickel for Every Time…

~ Michael ~ 6 Comments

Do you think the words, "In God We Trust" will be eliminated from US Currency in our lifetime? In Dallas, they're already done it. The cover of the Keller ISD school's annual depicts the 2005 Liberty Nickel – complete with the face of Thomas Jefferson – but the words "In God We Trust" are missing. … Continue reading If I Had a Nickel for Every Time…

Boycotting and Protesting "The Da Vinci Code"

~ Michael ~ 17 Comments

The protests are getting louder. Christians aren't yet rioting in the street a la the Muslim cartoon jihad, but if they were, would mainstream media be more sympathetic to Christians? Meanwhile, controversy is raging worldwide. Legislators in the Philippines have petitioned for the film to be banned from that country; hundreds of protesters took to … Continue reading Boycotting and Protesting "The Da Vinci Code"

Outsourcing Prayer Lines

I stumbled across this disturbing piece yesterday while reading the news. Major television ministries are outsourcing their prayer lines to India! The more I read, the more hot under the collar I got. DES MOINES — Last month, Lori Danes, 43, called the prayer line of a major television ministry and requested prayer for her … Continue reading Outsourcing Prayer Lines

The Da Vinci Code is Anti-Christian

North American Mission Board (NAMB) commissioned Zogby to poll the effects of that piece of blasphemous anti-Christian trash, The Da Vinci Code.

The more familiar … Continue reading The Da Vinci Code is Anti-Christian

Boycotting "Da Vinci Code"

Am I boycotting the "Da Vinci Code" movie? Or am I just refusing to go see it? The nuance is hard to discern. Christians Plan Boycott of 'Da Vinci Code' by Robert B.

This was an amusing look at two boys that open a lemonade stand so they can save money for a swingset. They're good little boys and want to work for the swingset because their parents tell them it'll make them better people. But then... horror! One liberal after another shows up, setting new rules for … Continue reading Review: Help! Mom! There are Liberals Under My Bed!

Scientists Fail to Manipulate God

Scrappleface does an admirable job of summarizing a recent news story on prayer. March 31, 2006 Prayer Study: Humans Fail to Manipulate God by Scott Ott (2006-03-31) — A team of scientists today ended a 10-year study on the so-called “power of prayer” by concluding that God cannot be manipulated by humans, not even by … Continue reading Scientists Fail to Manipulate God

Review: The Witness

~ Michael ~ 2 Comments

I recently finished "The Witness" by Dee Henderson, and enjoyed it a lot. I can't tell you how much pleasure it was to read about characters that treat each other with respect, look out for each other unselfishly and sacrificially, then go to the Lord in prayer before making major decisions. In this book, the … Continue reading Review: The Witness

Liberty Legal Institute

~ Michael ~ 23 Comments

A recent comment indicates that some people are under the impression... well, I'll let the comment speak for itself: Characterizing the court battles of religious symbols in public as “prohibiting the free expression of Christianity” is highly disingenuous, however. The court battles have been about government sponsorship of such expressions, not about individual expression of … Continue reading Liberty Legal Institute

Evangelical teens rally in S.F. More than 25,000 evangelical Christian youth landed Friday in San Francisco for a two-day rally at AT&T Park against "the virtue terrorism" of popular culture, and they were greeted by an official city condemnation and a clutch of protesters who said their event amounted to a "fascist mega-pep rally."

Kenya Mission, Day 6

January 1, 2006 Today's Swahili phrase: Jambo, which means "Howdy" in Texan. We used this word more than any other, I think, and it was so easy to pronounce. I meant to write these faster and closer together, but the work load skyrocketed on me the last couple of weeks. Several of you have encouraged … Continue reading Kenya Mission, Day 6

Sola Scriptura

~ Michael ~ 11 Comments

I confess the first time I'd ever heard this term was about a year ago in an email with Sean. As I was raised Catholic, accepted Christ while attending a lesser-known evangelistic church and have since joined a Baptist church, I lean toward the "bible is sufficient" philosophy. I am open, however, to additional teachings, … Continue reading Sola Scriptura

The Meaning of Christianity

The Houston Chronicle ran an article on Sunday, of all things, about an atheist who does not believe in God but belives Christians are good.

Coming Out of Denial and Discovering Our Sin

21st Century Reformation has a beautiful article on Sanctification, what it is and what it isn't. Go read the article, reflect on it, then come back. Or stay there, that's ok. 😛 Just before Part 1, the author writes about the problems with a "therapeutic approach" to Christianity, that somehow one's expression of love is … Continue reading Coming Out of Denial and Discovering Our Sin

Cartoons of Blasphemy

~ Michael ~ 8 Comments

The decision to publish (or not publish) the Dreaded Cartoons of Blasphemy that have the Islam "Religion of Peace" so riled up isn't such a clear cut decision. Let's look at the options: Let's say you're a Boston Globe and you happily publish pictures of the Virgin Mary covered with dung. Publishing the Muslim cartoons … Continue reading Cartoons of Blasphemy

Colossians 3:15-17

Today's Daily Manna verse is beautiful reminder of the joy of Christian living.

Question On Sin

~ Michael ~ 6 Comments

Ok, two newsletters in the last two days are prompting me to ask a question. I know there are some very knowledgeable Christians here, even an occasional pastor, that can answer this question. I've always been taught that part of growing closer to God is acknowledging that I am a sinner. And by golly, hard … Continue reading Question On Sin

Presbyterian Church Membership Losses

The Presbyterian Church USA has lost over 2 million members since 1967. They project to lose another 85,000 members this year, accelerating the loss from 65,000 last year. Why? Albert Mohler suggests it is because of the embrace of theological liberalism. As these researchers demonstrated, the embrace of what they called "lay liberalism" led massive … Continue reading Presbyterian Church Membership Losses

Democrats Misplay "God Card"

~ Michael ~ 3 Comments

I wrote last July that I fully expected the liberal Democrat party to try and claim Christianity for themselves under the name of "progressive Christianity." A prime example is in USAToday recently that tries to show that "playing the God card" isn't working for George Bush and the Republicans. Even if, as the author admits, … Continue reading Democrats Misplay "God Card"

Cartoon Violence Continues

I'm amazed at the violence from the Muslim world. I don't think they're convincing me they're not a violent religion. I certainly understand their anger. When Christians get upset, we write letters. Storming an embassy looking for infidels to kill? I don't recall Christians doing that. But for goodness sake, they're cartoons. There is hypocrasy … Continue reading Cartoon Violence Continues

Offending the Religious

~ Michael ~ 4 Comments

NBC aired "The Book of Daniel" against the objections of Christian conservatives. Poorly written, appealing to few people, too controversial for advertisers, the "Book of Daniel" was dropped. European newspapers have published cartoons depicting Mohamed with a bomb for a turban. Muslims rioted, kidnapped Europeans, burned effigies. Both freedom of speech examples. Both examples of … Continue reading Offending the Religious

"Book of Daniel" Cancelled

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Axed because of low ratings, high criticism, and advertisers withdrawing ads. When the people most upset about the cancellation are gays and lesbians, then there's little mystery why conservative Christians were offended. I have an idea: why not produce a Christian series that portrays Christians in a positive light? Say, … Continue reading "Book of Daniel" Cancelled
