Visit their blog at Common Grounds Online.] Who would have thought that one of the most loved or loathed words in evangelicalism would turn out to be “conversation?” Conversation is among the most popularContinue reading “Book Review: Common Grounds by Ben Young and Glenn Lucke”

The Closing of The Calvinistic Mind by James Jordan: Must Reading
Yesterday, I came across an article by James Jordan called The Closing of the Calvinistic Mind. While written from a considerably different place within the world of Reformed Christianity than I occupy, it is simply sensational. The content and conclusions of this piece are spot on when I consider my own experience in the ReformedContinue reading “The Closing of The Calvinistic Mind by James Jordan: Must Reading”
Let's Not Be Simplistic About CCM
I’m a big Andrew Sandlin fan, and I’ve never disagreed with him that I can remember, but Sandlin’s sudden enthusiasm for CCM needs a bit of tempering with reality.

The Best Show On Television: Echoes of The Fall and Glimpses of Grace in "House, M.D."
It’s major confession time. I have a TV habit. I think it started with the X-Files, which Denise and I started watching every week about the middle of its run. We watched and loved Millennium, and a short-lived series called Brimstone. We’ve always had at least one regular series we try to catch each weekContinue reading “The Best Show On Television: Echoes of The Fall and Glimpses of Grace in "House, M.D."”
SBC Conservatism Vs Emergent Pragmatism: Round One
How dangerous is this man? Apparently he’s dangerous enough that Kentucky Baptists don’t want to take the chance of hearing what he has to say about evangelism and church growth. He doesn’t have anything to say on homosexuality that wouldn’t hurt someone (his words) and he’s not sure that those of other religions who becomeContinue reading “SBC Conservatism Vs Emergent Pragmatism: Round One”
