In this recent (16 Feb 2009) episode of the 700 Club, George Thomas reports on how Chinese business people are applying Christian principles to their business. Evidently the Chinese government is loosening things up enough to make such a story OK to broadcast. It's interesting to note, however, that the emphasis on "applying Biblical principles …
Book Review: The Archivist
Many of you who visit this site do so because of the 1960's and 1970's music that's offered either for download or for sale. Before the internet, however, the only way to experience the "Jesus Music" of this era was to dig through second hand shops and garage and estate sales for used vinyl (or …
Just Remember What Country We’re Really From, and The “Wag the Dog” War That Didn’t Work
Chuck Colson is trying to making things complicated for Evangelicals: So do we retreat into our sanctuaries? Political columnist Cal Thomas, among others, says we should forget the idea of changing culture through politics and just be the church: help the poor, visit those in prison, and so on.

A Reminder of the Real Meaning of “Separation of Church and State”
Baby Blue's nice little article on the role of the local church vis à vis the beginnings of the Episcopal Church in Virginia are interesting for the current history of TEC, but they have a broader application: James Madison and Thomas Jefferson did not think so highly of the former established church's assertions either. And …

Reply to Kevin Walker on Salvation, the Nature of the Church and N.T. Wright

I recently received an incoming link from a South African (I think) site called Katoikei's Jukebox to my page on Tom Autry. Much to my surprise, I found four Ray H. Hughes Sr. sermons posted on this site as well. My Church of God readers know Dr. Hughes, former General Overseer, former president of Lee …
