Tuesday January 17, 2006

Theology: John the baptist wants to know whether early church deacons were waiters or bankers (or both).

Worship: Phil Johnson discusses worship and whether or not karaoke qualifies as public worship. He says that “Karaoke is a populist form of burlesque.”

Church: The Church Report lists the 50 most influential Christians in America. What happened to John MacArthur? And since when is Dr. Phil a Christian leader?

Site: Is anyone else noticing how much faster my site is running since the forums went kaput? They were definitely putting quite a strain on the server. However, I have brought them back to life so you can go back to commenting if you like. I am going to try to re-integrate the old comments with the old threads.

    I Regret to Inform You That Heaven Tourism Is Back

    I regret to inform you, dear reader, that heaven tourism is back. The genre possibly never went away entirely, but it did at least disappear from the bestseller lists for several years. Sadly, it has returned in Gabe Poirot’s 18 Days in Heaven.
