    Olympic Opening Ceremony

    Did anyone watch the opening ceremony last night? I liked the first part of it with the agri-history and then the rise of the industrial revolution, but I was lost around the National Health Service. I'm trying to put politics aside, but it's sad in a history of a country with an amazing...

    Liberal Christianity

    I don't want the "L" word to become a necessarily a dirty word, because Liberal Christianity did give us a renewed focus on mission, amongst other positives. However, this exchange between Conservative Catholic Ross Douthat of the New York Times and Diana Butler Bass intrigues me a bit. I am...

    What About the Rapture?

    What about the Rapture? When you hear the term rapture, what exactly comes to mind? Chances are you either picture images of total chaos, destruction and death or you just became a little bit nervous and possibly even completely uncomfortable. You don’t have to look any further than cable...

    You Know You're a Pharisee If...

    Look, this article condemns things I STRUGGLE with even today - but the Lord showed me grace on some of these things, I have repented of my past actions.

    "On Being an Absolute Ass"

    I realize the title is a little ruffling, but I recommend taking the time to read this article. I don't think it a waste of a few minutes or your time. It's basically about a father that realizes the actions towards his son were wrong, but something else about the gospel hits him along the way...

    HCSB, the New Bible Reference Version

    Christianity Board will now use the HCSB, the Holman Christian Standard Bible, as its default version for all popup references. I literally took months to analyze what version we would use. Many of you may remember back when we started with the KJV and then moved to the ESV (and the NIV for a...

    Jesus is Risen!

    Happy Resurrection Sunday!! There's not much else to say, but I'm reminded of a chorus from one of my favorite songs: -Planetshakers, The Anthem/Halleluhjah There's not much to say beyond that, death could not hold Him down! Luke 24:1-12 HCSB On the first day of the week, very early in the...

    http://pastors.com/rick-warren-on-muslims-evangelism-and-missions/ I recall some miscellaneous comments, posts, and other remarks on CB about Pastor Rick Warren and Muslims. I wanted to post this interview he did so his own words could clarify what he does and what he said. There's so much...

    Merry Christmas 2011 from Christianity Board!

    Merry Christmas! I don’t know what your Christmas has been like, but this year has been a unique one for my family! It’s been a rollercoaster of emotion – joy, sorrow, gain, loss, and so much more. The one thing that it all comes back to, though, is Jesus. This really is a time of year where...

    Veteran's Day Message from Christianity Board

    I'd like to take a moment to thank our Veteran's throughout the ages for their service here in America and with our friends abroad. While we recognize the value of each one of God's creation, we recognize that in a fallen state of the world we must have those who make the ultimate sacrifice in...

    Proclaim Presentation Software?

    I'm not sure if any of you here are involved, but does anyone use church presentation software? We have a copy of Easy Worship 2007 and were looking at upgrading as well as the various alternatives. I'd rather not spend a fortune on this software, but I'm a little disappointed with EW's...
