A La Carte (11/17)

Friday November 17, 2006

Humor: Catherine Claire of “The Point,” Breakpoint’s blog, was inspired when she learned about the Joel Osteen board game. She came up with a list of “Top Ten Bad-Taste Christian Spin-Off Games I Hope I Never See.” My favorite: “Clue-How did the Apostle Paul die? Was it in King Agrippa’s drawing room with a noose or was it Nero with a Guillotine? Answers are waiting to be discovered in this game of mystery and intrigue.”

Video: The Apologetics Group is offering a new DVD that looks interesting. It is a debate about Evangelicals & Global Warming.

Celebrity: By now you know that O.J. Simpson is back. This article, while from a secular perspective, offers an interesting insight, I think. “So why does O.J. do it? Because collectively, we want him to.”

Du Jour: Joe Carter wants to change your mind.

    Biblical Wisdom for Everyday Life

    There are some categories of books that can be written once and remain relevant for generations. There are other categories that need to be written anew nearly every generation. Books on living life well often fall in that second category.
