A recent South Park episode depicted Mohammed in a bear outfit, and MuslimRevolution.com published this statement: “We have to warn Matt (Stone) and Trey (Parker) that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show.” Reuters reports that “the website posted a graphic photo [...]

It’s confirmed, Jennifer Knapp has come out of the closet. I’m not all about shooting the wounded, but it is safe to say that her music should no longer be classified as “Christian” (she even makes this clear in her recent interviews). Not that much of it clearly proclaimed Christ to begin with, but it’s [...]

There was an earthquake this morning in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago, near Elgin, IL. Several folks around here felt it. It reminded me of the words of Jesus: “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is [...]

I just saw that Todd Bentley is back at it again, now claiming to be restored. I first highlighted Todd Bentley in a brief video blog showing false prophets, and again when I exposed the demonic activity occurring at the Lakeland, Florida revival. But I never really explained who he is and where he came [...]

This was forwarded to me, it comes from Global Advance’s newsletter. I found it to be an excellent balanced perspective on the Haiti crisis: Thoughts on the Disaster in Haiti by David Shibley. The world has been shocked to see the devastation of an entire nation as a massive earthquake seems to have had its [...]

UPDATE: I apologize for this post. I am still learning. All human tragedies point us towards our universal need of repentance. I cannot label a tragedy as though I know the mind of God. iMonk makes a great point: Evangelical Christians are amazing for wanting it both ways. They want to be able to say [...]

This is an amazing reminder that all life is precious and valuable to God. Charles Lehmann reminds us that God does not desire the death of a sinner: It is tempting for many of us to look at the death of Michael Jackson with just a little bit of quiet happiness. Though he was never [...]

Seth Godin came up with some phenomenal ideas for unemployed college students to attempt to accomplish in a year, but I think the list could be helpful for a much larger audience. If someone were to accomplish even a few of the items on this list, his or her job prospects would increase exponentially. Check [...]

Daniel and Heather offered a great reminder of the persecution going on around the world at their blog, Like a Mustard Seed. I almost wept when I read it, check it out. We need these reminders. In the comments, I wrote “Wow, this post almost had me in tears. I am ashamed that it did [...]

You may be surprised to know that my wife is interested in cryptozoology. She sent me an email with this article this morning. Tiffany writes: This is like a cryptozoology thing (although I don’t remember hearing the name of this animal). They realized that this animal actually exists!! Read the article it is cool. This [...]

Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing(Psalm 146:3). For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the [...]

I normally write more thought-provoking, lengthy articles and such. But pardon me while I rant a moment about this. From the Christian Post: An eighth grader at a New Jersey middle school was sent home Friday after he dressed up as Jesus Christ for Halloween. Alex Woinski, 13, wore a white robe, red sash, sandals, [...]

I saw this on Seth Godin’s blog the other day, and I couldn’t help but be intrigued by it. I can do everything on this list, it comes rather naturally to me. But I know several of my coworkers who can’t, and I have a fairly technological job! This really does show the growing divide [...]

In my last post, entitled “It’s raining, it’s pouring”, I showed a bunch of photos of the flooding in my neighborhood. I talked about having to evacuate my grandma from Munster, here are some photos of her house as of this morning: A guy walking through it was up to his knees in water, so [...]

Wow! We got hit with some rain. It took me almost an hour to get home the other day, and I was within a mile of my subdivision! Why? Because two of the only ways to get in were flooded, so I had to take Route 30 to get in a back way. The only [...]

I (Dan) got a new tattoo yesterday. I got theophaneia on my left rib, which is Greek for “appearance/manifestation of God.” It is the root word from which the name Tiffany is derived, my wife’s name. Since God created Eve out of Adam’s rib, I figured it would be fitting to get the Greek root [...]

In late April, I wrote about a new rule requiring New York City fast food restaurants to post calorie information on menu boards. Now NYC has taken it a step further. From the Associated Press: Eateries must remove artificial trans fats from all menu items by July 1. When first implemented last year, the Health [...]

This is why I oppose “hate-speech” legislation: It’s not a matter of being anti-gay (or homophobic), but of supporting free speech and religious liberty! From WorldNetDaily: A Canadian human rights tribunal ordered a Christian pastor to renounce his faith and never again express moral opposition to homosexuality, according to a new report. In a decision [...]
