Really enjoyed this quick article at First Things about John Locke. Let's not go off on a John Calvin tangent. I know them's fightin' words to bring his name up. That said, it's interesting that Locke who was a Deist (I believe if memory serves), found that even with his complex theory that...

http://buchanan.org/blog/a-new-dark-age-16287 I could not help but think of Colossians 1 as I read this article. It's interesting to me that a number of the defenses I've seen of this incident is that the interviewers were deceptive in their practices and that nothing illegal was taking place...

Need prayers going up for Steven, he went to the ER a couple weeks back with his throat swollen. Just this weekend, his spleen ruptured and doctors were forced to do an emergency operation to remove the entire spleen. He's currently in ICU and only 22 years of age. Please pray for him and his...

http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/07/haiti-cholera-epidemic/398168/ This has gone on the back burner because it doesn't sell as easily as the tragedy in Syria, the fear of ebola, or the intrigue of the Ukraine, but this is truly a tragic situation continuing to fester in Haiti. I...

IE, not IE, Firefox, Chrome... Has anyone ever used Vivaldi or Lunascape? Got any others you like? I'm playing around with them, mainly just to use something different. It's still very early, but I really like Vivaldi on a Windows box. It just feels new and fresh.

So, do you think the brou-ha-ha yesterday was just a couple random glitches or something more?

The previous moratorium on gay marriage threads is lifted. I do request that everyone remain respectful in any future threads, as these will be closely monitored.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2015/06/23/every-state-flag-is-wrong-and-here-is-why/ This is some much needed humor in a time when a lot of things are going on.

I know it's early, and I've not even had the opportunity to read it myself, but I am seeing some early responses to the leak of Laudato Si, the pope's encyclical on climate change and other moral-scientific issues. I consider myself a creation care style person at heart because I enjoy the...

Please join us in praying very hard for this church and the families of the slain victims! This is a horrendous and terrible tragedy, and no church should experience this evil. Please also pray for the killer to be caught and justice administered swiftly. Please pray hard! In case you have not...

http://mosaicmagazine.com/observation/2015/05/why-the-king-james-version-of-the-bible-remains-the-best/ I found myself in agreement with this author. You see me mostly quote from either the HCSB or NIV. I generally flip around based upon certain readings between those two, the NLT, the ESV, and...

We felt it was getting to be that time, so with some input from the team, I reorganized the forums. If you see anything missing...well it's not. Just kidding. I am open to some further suggestions, although we have a couple more forums that will be added soon. I also did away with the...

First Off: Welcome! I know that it might be slightly condescending to provide a newbie guide to our newbies, but I also know that the excitement of joining the community combined with the uncertainty of new buttons to press is like a kid hitting Chuck E. Cheese’s for the first time! So, we...
