About three years ago, I featured a video from my church about the healing of Meredith Vining Parker, one of the most amazing miracles I have ever known about, certainly relating to someone my wife and I know very well. Now it's featured on the 700 Club: http://dl2.cbn.com/cbnplayer/cbnPlayer.swf?s=/mp4/AS76v2_WS One side note: Meredith and her sisters …
Month of Sundays: Worth
This is what the LORD says: Don't let wise people brag about their wisdom. Don't let strong people brag about their strength. Don't let rich people brag about their riches. If they want to brag, they should brag that they understand and know me. They should brag that I, the LORD, act out of love, …
Month of Sundays: Witness
So the Jews again called the man who had been blind, and said to him: "Give God the praise; we know that this (Jesus) is a bad man." "I know nothing about his being a bad man," he replied; "one thing I do know, that although I was blind, now I can see." (John 9:24-25) …
Month of Sundays: Unity
But I appeal to you, Brothers, by the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree in what you profess, and not to allow divisions to exist among you, but to be united-of one mind and of one opinion. (1 Corinthians 1:10) Like many liberal churches, the Unity congregation found itself far too small for …
Evangelical Christianity, the Perpetual Road Trip
The recent death of John Stott has given people who are normally hostile to Evangelical Christianity an opportunity to say some good things about an individual whose high place in the movement is deserved. Such praise is generally joined with criticism of those who had the bad taste to carry the movement into the political …

The Differences Between Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry From a Personal Standpoint
The conventional wisdom out there is that Michele Bachmann (who won the Ames straw poll) and Rick Perry (who spoiled her victory by entering the race on the same day) are competing for the same religious conservative voters. That masks some important differences between the two, differences that will become more evident as the campaign …
Month of Sundays: Truth
On coming into the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples this question--“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” “Some say John the Baptist,” they answered, “Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say Jeremiah, or one of the Prophets.” “But you,” he said, “who do you say …
The Hole in the "Dominionist/Theonomist Plan" for America
Ryan Lizza's piece in the New Yorker about Michele Bachmann brings up what must rate as the most incoate dread the left has about the Religious Right: the "dominionist" movement, which I prefer to refer to as the "theonomist" movement. You see this in left wing blogs (both in the articles and in the comments) …

Month of Sundays: Time
Take great care, then, how you live--not unwisely but wisely, Making the most of every opportunity; for these are evil days. (Ephesians 5:15-16) Many years ago, my family business established a branch operation in West Palm Beach, Florida. We built a facility and lined up personnel to operate it. We also brought in people from …
Month of Sundays: Temptation
Once more the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms in the world and their glory. The devil said to him, "I will give you all this if you will bow down and worship me." Jesus said to him, "Go away, Satan! Scripture says, 'Worship the Lord your …
