A Christian Ethic of Blogging

Blake Huggins shared his thoughts on this great quote from NT Wright…
“It really is high time we developed a Christian ethic of blogging. Bad temper is bad temper even in the apparent privacy of your own hard drive, and harsh and unjust words, when released into the wild, rampage around and do real damage. And [...]

Jesus People

I’m not even sure how I found this now, but the web-isodes of Jesus People have been cracking me up today. It’s a mockumentary (think Spinal Tap and Waiting for Guffman) based on an up and coming Christian Pop group, Cross My Heart.
“Jesus People” started as a webseries on FunnyorDie.com with the description of “Spinal [...]

A chat with @existentialpunk

I had a great chat with @existentialpunk today (aka Adele) via direct messages on Twitter. I approached her via DM about the chat and I think we were both a little confused on whether we would continue on DM or on the public site. Either way we were asked later about our conversation and she [...]

How now should we live?

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove writes ::
In the neighborhood where I live, people sometimes “flip” a house to make a quick buck. They buy it cheap because it’s in bad shape, but rather than fix the structural issues that compromise the house’s integrity, they just put some fresh paint on the walls, install a few flashy fixtures, [...]

The Universal Declaration of Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights from Seth Brau on Vimeo.
Thomas shared this on the nanolog. I love it! Excellent!

The prayer comes from John Piper’s book Taste and See
O Lord, by the truth of your Word, and the power of your Spirit and the ministry of your body, build us [...]

Christian Liberation

“The liberation that Christianity preaches is a liberation from something that enslaves, for something that ennobles us. Those who talk only about the enslavement, about the negative part of liberation, do not have all the power that the church can give one.
