Science: National Geographic interviews creationist and Christian Francis Collins.

Technology: This guy nicely sums up my feelings about Macs. “Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.”

Pastors: Paul finishes a short series on the pastor as leader.

Photo: Interesting photos of a rare phenomenon.

Sports: The Christian Post highlights an interesting quote by Tony Dungy after winning the Superbowl.

Friday October 28, 2005 Halloween: Apparently when it comes to pumpkins, White is the new orange. Du Jour: Laura touches on something I’ve been thinking about lately. “I’m coming to realize that surely, reading/skimming the amount of information that reaches my brain on an average day does me far more harm than good.” Politics: This…

Are We Post Woke?

It is too early to tell, I think, whether the “wokeness” craze has already peaked and even begun to slip into decline, or whether it’s just pausing to gather energy for another surge. What seems clear for the moment, though, is that it has lost at least some of its initial momentum, probably because it…

A Front Door and a Family Meal

Baptism is a kind of front door to the local church, the God-ordained means through which a person identifies with Jesus Christ and formally comes to belong to Christ’s body, the church. Baptism is the church’s sign that this person is one of us, a brother or sister in the Lord, who has now been…
