Dying in America
An article like this one raises some very good questions about end-of-life care in our society. "When you've lived to be 91, death is not untimely. It is not a tragedy. And my grandmother's death, in particular, should not have been so cruel. Money was not an issue. She had great insurance, and enough savings to pay for anything that Medicare and her insurance company would not. She had signed all the right forms. And she had the support of her family to die on her terms, as peacefully as possible."

Michael Yon offers up another excellent photo essay, this one showing the work of the Air Force Pararescue in Afghanistan.
Christ Formed in You
Christ Formed in You is a forthcoming book authored by Brian Hedges. He and his editor, Kevin Meath, are blogging together to show how a book gets through the writing and the editing stages.
The Official Chuck Norris Factbook
Christian publisher Tyndale House will soon release The Official Chuck Norris Fact Book: 101 of Chuck's Favorite Facts and Stories. I'm (mostly) speechless.

When the Boogey Man goes to bed at night, he checks under the bed for Chuck Norris.
Ha ha...good one, Micah.
I visited Saddleback from my native Central NY just to observe what goes on there. It was Father's Day weekend, so Pastor Warren shared a synopsis of his purpose-driven ministry. What amazed me most was when I asked several people in the bleachers around me how long they've been members - they had all attended for over 3 years, but weren't members. I find this most strange.
I appreciate that you wish to be fair and loving to Mr. Warren. The truth is that a lot of the things that he is doing is done at a majority of professing evangelical churches. But it still must be pointed out that many things that he does are wrong, man-centered, pragmatically motivated, and the end result will be false conversions. It misrepresents the ministry of the gospel and the church as a whole. What's worse is his partnership with Muslims in charity work. This is a slap in the face to Christianity, but more importantly to Christ. Jesus never joined forces with Pagans and Pharisees to make the world a better place. May we call for Mr. Warren to repent, for the sake of our Savior's name, and for the sake of the church. And if he will not, let him be as a heathen, or a publican.
