Division in the church

I want to make a quick point that I know won’t reach many but at least I’ll feel somewhat better because it’s been said.
It’s a sad conclusion but it’s very much true, white members of the Church of Christ are taking a much different approach to CoC teaching than Black churches.
Seems to me that in [...]

Muslim Footbaths in college

I’m not a liberal and this doesn’t even remotely bother me.  Too many folks are making a much ado about nothing (notably Debbie Schlussel and Atlas Shrugs: MUSLIM FOOTBATHS: YOUR TAX $ AT WORK!)
Why this topic is even up for debate escapes me. Essentially what’s happening is that the University of Michigan-Dearborn will be installing [...]

"Christians” are dumb

I’m a Christian. No quotation marks.
Tolerance in this country is at an all time low. Everyone has become so judgmental of the next person. You’re gay, you’re Muslim, you’re fat, you’re Black, you’re a bad parent, and the list goes and on and on and on. Never once does such accuser step back and [...]

Biased Reporting

I admire the Houston Chronicle for its outstanding journalistic qualities. It’s a publication that I could see myself working for one day in the near future. But even with all it’s awards and great reports, the Houston Chronicle does have it’s biased reporting from time to time. The article in question was not [...]

Teaching Sacred Texts

As a Christian I only have one thing to say about the recent debate about teaching the Bible in public schools.
“If you’re going to teach one religious text you need to teach them all, or as many as posible in a semester.”
To choose only the Bible as the religious text to study is unfair [...]

Jesus Camp

This movie has to be the most disturbing one I’ve seen in a long while. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great look into the lives and world of “evangelical” Christians. But it’s very disturbing to watch these young children being bamboozled and taken advantage of. Children can be of God and [...]
