As some of you know, I have recently become obsessed with studying this phenomenon that many are referring to as the “New Atheism.” Much of my free time has been devoted to listening to lectures online, finding and purchasing debates, and scanning the internet and the blogosphere’s intellegentsia to see what the leaders of this [...]

Sunday’s Quote of the Week
Posted in Jesus Christ, Quotes, tagged Attributes of God, Christianity, Cries of the Heart, Quotes, Ravi Zacharias on April 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
One of my favorite books is Cries of the Heart by Ravi Zacharias (who “just so happens” to be one of my favorite speakers and authors as well). I’d strongly recommend this book to everyone. Ravi has a way of taking things that you’ve always thought and/or felt but never been able to articulate, and he [...]
Brian McLaren & “Serpent-Sensitive Worship”
Posted in Cultural Issues, Ecclessiology, Salvation, tagged Brian McLaren, Christianity, Dan Kimball, Emerging Church, Theology, Willow Creek on April 26, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Dr. Russell Moore has just put up a new blog commentray on a recent youth event at Willow Creek Community Church, where author and speaker Brian McLaren was invited to speak. McLaren’s call to de-emphasize theology was challenged by another “emerging church” speaker, Dan Kimball. The conference shows the elasticity of such terms, but, more importantly, it [...]
Dawkins v. McGrath

In my recent obsession with the “new atheism” I have come across many different debates and articles. Many of those have been unhelpful propaganda from both sides of the debate. Both sides have also put forth a lot of helpful information. Once I finish my reading this summer, which includes books by D’Souza, Harris, Dawkins, [...]

Thanks to Justin Taylor’s blog, I found Joe Carter’s 3-part series on 10 Ways Darwinists Help Intelligent Design. You can find Part 1 here, and follow the links to 2 and 3 from there. Given, the previous post on the review of Expelled, I thought it would be pertinent link to put up. Carter brings [...]
Expelled: A Review
Posted in Cultural Issues, Darwinism, Philosophy, tagged Atheism, Ben Stein, Darwinism, Expelled, Intelligent Design on April 22, 2008 | 8 Comments »
****IMPORTANT NOTE**** [The following post is a review, and a simple one at that. Any attempt to view it as more would be failing to recognize the simplicity of what is taking place. Much more detailed, complex and educated arguments for and against Darwinism and Intelligent Design can be found elsewhere, and I encourage readers [...]
Quote of the Week
Posted in Atonement, Jesus Christ, Quotes, tagged Atonement, John Stott, Quotes, The Cross of Christ on April 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Here’s a quote from John Stott’s The Cross of Christ on the acquisition of atonement:
It cannot be emphasized too strongly that God’s love is the sources, not the consequence of the atonement. As P.T. Forsyth expressed it, “the atonement did not procure grace, it flowed from grace”. God Does not love us because Christ died for [...]
