Apologetics: James White examines James Cameron's preface to "The Jesus Family Tomb." Cameron says things like "At Christmas we celebrate the birth of a man who called to the spark of goodness that exists within all of us, a man who gave the world hope two thousand years ago."

Theology: Phil Johnson discusses superficial understandings of relevance.

Politics: An interesting article about the proposed North American Union. I'm not sure how much of this is truth and how much is fiction.

Racism: This site has some interesting information about a book published by Zondervan that has some distasteful content (scroll to February 22).

Was reading the "Racism" article mentioned above and scrolled down a little farther to read another article on "Satanic Faces" located on the same blog. After reading this article, I remembered wondering myself if any offense would have been taken to John Piper's remarks at the Resolved Conference regarding Asian-American missionaries. Evidently some offense was taken. Some of the comments made to this were helpful, promoting understanding, context and hopefully peace.

"The Cutting Truth" blogger (where the Zondervan article is), while he occasionally has a nugget of spiritual insight to share, seems to have devoted his blog to two issues: (1) Taking offense at real and perceived racism against Asian Americans (AAs), and (2) Railing against "effeminate" AA Christian males.

Given theme #1, it's ironic that he devotes a post to how the guys in AA churches go on red alert whenever a single white male shows up for the Sunday service, since the white guy is almost certainly there to steal one of their single women.

Somebody please explain to Tim T the difference between observation and endorsement.
