Rick Warren on TIME
Rick Warren is on the cover of TIME Magazine. "If Warren is not quite today's [Billy] Graham, who presided as 'America's pastor' back when the U.S. affected a kind of Protestant civil religion, he is unquestionably the U.S.'s most influential and highest-profile churchman. He is a natural leader, a pathological schmoozer, insatiably curious and often the smartest person in the room."
Bedtime Prayers with Children
T-Wax is dead on in this article. "Let me encourage you. Young children soak in everything we say to them. Don't be frustrated if they're not reciting the catechism by the age of 4. Don't be frustrated if they seem to be disinterested when you pray. Don't be frustrated by their lack of attention span. Pray anyway."
A Catholic Case Against Obama
Pat Buchanan writes an article specifically for Catholics, but most of it applies to Evangelicals as well.
What Impresses God
Mark Altrogge writes about the Opening Ceremonies and the heartless persecution of Christians in China.
Denny Burk on Inclusive Translations
Denny Burk reacts briefly to comments by Craig Blomberg who lauds the TNIV and other gender inclusive translations.

This comment is Re: What Impresses God:
I am a missionary in rural China, in the foothills of Tibet.
Although the stories shared in this post are not the norm for all Chinese believers, they do occur daily somewhere in this nation of 1.3 billion.
The hypocrisy of China is something that is hard for us to deal with living here on a daily basis.
I would love to send info to major news sources detailing the restrictions and persecutions that take place in our region against Christians and anything considered anti-government, but it is simply too dangerous for us to do so.
We would risk getting our business visas cancelled and being “booted” if we were to speak out in the way that we would like.
So we will just continue to share the Gospel and trust in the sovereignty of God in this and every situation!
