First, the atheistic humanist claims to know enough to say that God does not exist. This is a claim to know everything, for if he admits that he does not know everything, how does he know that God is not included in what he does not know? Secondly, the agnostic humanist thinks to avoid the [...]

Hobbes: Is it a right to remain ignorant? Calvin: I don’t know, but I refuse to find out. This humorous interchange between Calvin and Hobbes highlights the fact that sometimes we decide on issues in the Christian life in which there is not just one right way, but there is freedom. Sojourn Kids, a ministry [...]
Sunday Morning “Competition”

We have let one of our daughters join a volleyball club this spring. This volleyball club practices on Sunday afternoons, which we knew in advance, and also has tournaments on Sundays, which we didn’t know in advance. We didn’t think they would be all day Sunday tournaments each time. But regardless, they are. If she [...]

I am glad to see that someone is keeping me (and my family) up to date on the progress of “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” movie. I was specifically interested to see whether they were “getting it right.” The quotes at Ray Fowler’s blog seem to indicate that they are. A number of Christian [...]
Feminist writer, wise words, and Tim Tebow

This is an excellent article. Yes, it is on the sports page, and yes it is written by a feminist who will probably take some flak. She doesn’t agree with Tim Tebow, but she thinks the flak he is taking over a Super Bowl ad that hasn’t even aired yet is ludicrous. Let me just [...]
