Wednesday July 26, 2006

Blog: Two days after I wrote about encouragement, my biggest little sister experiences just such a moment. It’s a great story.

Weird: Someone sent me a link to a new online finger meditation tool. You got it! It’s a mini labyrinth courtesy of Grace Cathedral, a Lutheran church in San Francisco.

Alcohol: The Thirsty Theologian continues his excellent and widely-lined series on alcohol.

The comments to this post will be the place to bring up passages that you believe I have overlooked or avoided. I will attempt to answer objections in a later post.”

Warren: Jollyblogger (wait, didn’t I link him yesterday?) posts a post-mortem on last week’s article criticizing Rick Warren for teaching Jewish people how to evangelize.

  • The Revelation We All Still Await

    Is God’s Revelation Complete?

    If for so many centuries God revealed himself through the inspired writings that make up the Bible, is it possible that he may add more inspired writings today or in the future? It is a fair question and forces us to distinguish between what God can do and what God has said he will do.
