Weird: Dignan has learned that Pat Robertson can leg press 2000 pounds. “On Robertson’s website, he is plugging his “Age-Defying” protein shake. And the best part is that his shake enables him to leg press 2,000 lbs!!!”

Humor: Joe Carter took on the blogosphere in a long, rambling, humorous post entitled “Royal Rumble in Godblogdom.” “Tim has read more books this year than are in the library at Bob Jones University.” I’m not sure if that is a compliment or an insult!

Humor Bonus: The folks at SermonSpice have done it again. Put down your Coke or coffee and take a look at Prosperity Praise.

Thursday March 30, 2006 Humor: The Museum of Hoaxes counts down the top 100 April Fool’s Day hoaxes of all time. A personal favorite is Burger King’s left-handed whopper.

However, the need is not nearly saturated because there are also a lot of Bible readers, many of whom study the Word carefully and repeatedly throughout their Christian lives. For that reason, we cannot have too many guides to assist in reading, understanding, and applying…

What Does Trouble Do?

To live is to experience trouble. There is no path through this life that does not lead through at least some kind of difficulty, sorrow, or trial—and often through a cornucopia of them.

When we pray to God and bring our petitions before him, and then say in earnest “thy will be done,” how should we expect God to respond? Is asking God to overrule our will with his own admitting that he may actually bring us harm?
