A La Carte (02/22)

Wednesday March 22, 2006

Purpose: Ken reports on the latest Purpose Driven gimmick. “For only $3.99/month you can receive a short devotional thought from The Purpose Driven Life on your mobile phone daily.” Sign me up!

Emergent: Brian McLaren is at it again. “So for people who feel, for example, that the Westminster Confession perfectly contains Christian theology the kind of conversation we’re having is a waste of time. But for people who feel that the Westminster Confession arose at a certain time, addressed certain concerns of that time, then we have to be as faithful to our time as the framers of the confession were to their time.”

Education: Ubiquity by Espen Andersen outlining twelve reasons you should choose to study math in high school. It’s too late for me, but others may benefit from this!

Theology: Rick Phillips, over at Reformation21 has some good thoughts about martyrdom as a way of life. You may like to read some of the other recent posts at the blog as there are some good ones.

    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.
