Seven Mistakes Every Church Should Avoid
Whether you agree with any or all of the "mistakes" mentioned in this article, it is certainly worth the read and can serve as a helpful springboard for discussion on the biblical/theological/historical nature of the Church.
Why men have stopped singing in church
A fascinating discussion is unfolding at churchformen.com regarding the disappearance of singing (especially by men) in most churches with a contemporary bent. Although I consider worship to be much more holistic and diverse than what the author is focused on, the discussion there is nonetheless a worthwhile read.
The Anglican-Episcopal Divide Widens Further
NT Wright offers a honest and somewhat heavy-hearted perspective regarding The Episcopal Church (TEC) in the U.S., and their decision to further formalize their decision to appoint to all orders of ministry, persons in active same-sex relationships. This marks a clear break with the rest of the Anglican Communion.
"I Am Second"- Incredible Personal Stories
Personal testimony stories are a dime-a-dozen on the internet. YouTube and a plethora of other sites offer them. But you will NEVER find striking personal stories about life and loss and struggle and victory and faith like you will encounter at www.iamsecond.com. This is a resource site you MUST visit for yourself and then bookmark.

The “hidden” material offers an insight into Wesley's fierce determination to prevent the Methodist societies from breaking away from the Church of England, and disagreements with his more influential older brother.

What the Bleep Do We Know!? -- Interviewed by the Miami Herald

I was recently interviewed by the Miami Herald in response to my recent post regarding the disturbing film: What the Bleep Do We Know!? (scroll down to second to last paragraph). The interview, by journalist Alexandra Alter, was very interesting. I'm often fascinated by how ordinary people outside of the Church think about things, and I'd enjoy hearing your response to Alexandra's piece (registration is required, but free).

I know, I know... my contribution to the article isn't much to sneeze at, but hey! I appreciated the opportunity to be a voice of reason from a traditional Christian perspective (Alexandra, if you're reading this -- thank you!).

This mixture of spiritual, fantasy, and science influences greatly our society. The people living out their lives from a “western world -view” influenced by modernity have bankrupted the truth factor. The last couple of generations learned naturalism as the foundation of existence. This left the “God shaped hole” that Pascal spoke about in need of satisfying. Scripture speaks about Yahweh forming within us our need for Him, Ecclesiastes 3:11, Acts 17:22ff.

Therefore, movies of this nature appeal to the deepest of longings placed within us; the absence of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us as His temple. Yahweh’s breathing into first man - Adam filled him with the Holy Spirit. After the temptation and turning away from truth Yahweh’s Spirit departed. Evolution, wither natural or spiritual, becomes a panacea for our longing for our Creator. The foundation of all of the “worlds” created in science - fiction or fantasy provide evolution as explanation for origins. Gods either represent advanced races or technology unexplained left by an advanced people. Much of the U F O influence in our time is a desire to find a “power” higher then us to get us out of this mess.

Movies of this nature become the holy writings of a naturalistic godless or God rejecting people.
