Music: C.T. has a long and interesting article about the Passion movement.

Science: Discover has several articles featuring twenty things you didn’t know about a variety of topics. How about this: “A pair of brown rats can produce as many as 2,000 descendants in a year if left to breed unchecked.” Shudder.

Books: Ray Fowler points to John Calvin lite. The Rev. William Pringle assembled his ‘One Hundred Aphorisms, Containing, Within a Narrow Compass, the Substance and Order of the Four Books of the Institutes of the Christian Religion.’” It looks like a good way of getting an overview of the Institutes.

Du Jour: An interesting look at what it will mean to be a senior as the baby boomers hit retirement.

I read the CT article on the Passion conference/movement and came away scratching my head.

Why no major revival from it? All those college kids attending, yet our campuses (and the students on them) are more worldly than ever, with fewer and fewer students claiming Christ. Where’s the impact Passion is supposedly having?

DLE,

I am a college student who has attended Passion events before. Unfortunately, the number of students serious about their faith comprise a drop in the bucket compared to the number of college students nationwide. The 24,000 who attended Passion 07 pale in comparison to the number of college students just in the South, not to mention that the attendees come from all over the nation and the world.
