Humor: Sam Storms has some fun when thinking about the fact that yesterday was 06/06/06.

Conference: Bob Kauflin has announced the WorshipGod06 blog. Yours truly will be liveblogging this conference which takes place in August.

Terrorism: Ian Clary answers the question of “Why Muslims Must Hate Us.” “I have to admit, hearing about the recent terrorist findings here in Toronto last week has shaken me up a little. It is quite discomforting to know that ‘homegrown’ terrorists live in Toronto and had three times the amount of explosives found on the Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.”

Science: “New Scientist” explains why we tend to need a siesta after dinner or another big meal.

Anyone who professes to be a Christian will acknowledge a sense of sorrow and disappointment when they consider how little they know of God and how little they experience of his presence. Every Christian or Christianesque tradition acknowledges this reality and offers a means to address it.

Everyday Gospel

We are not lacking when it comes to daily devotionals. To the contrary, there are more options than we could possibly read in a lifetime. Yet not all daily devotionals are created equal, so it can be difficult to find a good one—one that is worthy of a full year’s attention.

Dust on the Bible

Hank Williams recorded an old song called “Dust on the Bible.” It’s a song of lament in which he has gone to a friend’s home and asked to see their Bible. When they bring it to him, he realizes it has obviously not been read for a very long time, for it is covered in…
