This is why the whole “NAPARC has spoken” argument is empty. NAPARC has spoken repeatedly, to be sure, but it always does so in an irresponsible and inaccurate way. I don’t take it seriously.
It is only worth speaking to the sane critics of the FV, for many of the critics are simply malicious. [...]
Yesterday was the feast day of St. Cecilia, the virgin and martyr who died at the hands of the Romans 1,800 years ago. For the crime of being a Christian, she was beheaded, and has been venerated as the patron saint of music by both the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches ever since.
Unfortunately in America, [...]
Today, in the U.S., there are more than 1.2 million nonprofit organizations. In dollar terms alone, the nonprofit sector annually generates more than $670 billion, or nine percent of the U.S. Gross National Product. More than twelve million Americans are employed by nonprofits. Because the sector is so large and diverse in mission, scope and [...]
The evidence of scientific dishonesty supplied by these communications is so copious it’s hard to know where to begin an attempt to describe them. Many of the e-mails brazenly discuss the manipulation of scientific data either to provide the appearance of greater support for global warming science or to undermine the claims of skeptics. For [...]
Looking at this question and the discussion, I find it interesting that no one points out that Paul explicitly teaches that the work of Christ on the cross was to unite Jew and Gentile and reconcile to God as one, and that the new thing about the Gospel declaration is that there is one commonwealth [...]

When people engaged in slander and libel know what they are doing, then to salve their own consciences and put up a fig leaf between themselves and Jesus, they try to ascribe the confusion they are causing to their victims. One favorite saying is to say that analyzing FV is [...]
Please read the following two sentences:
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
You have now [...]
Christians are heirs of a 2,000-year tradition of proclaiming God’s word, seeking justice in our societies, resisting tyranny, and reaching out with compassion to the poor, oppressed and suffering.
While fully acknowledging the imperfections and shortcomings of Christian institutions and communities in all ages, we claim the heritage of those Christians who defended innocent life by [...]
The urge to save humanity is almost always a false face for the urge to rule it. – H.L. Mencken
This is also an important key to understanding church history. The Papal party claimed they were protecting the Church from the heresy of Luther when in fact they were pushing forward their own agenda and power.

Not really. Trying to outwit enemies and those who would rather trust them than think for themselves is too time consuming. But if you want to revisit the issue, a pastor with more patience than I possess posted 13 interactions in July 2009. He doesn’t say anything that is not obvious to anyone who cared [...]
As I mentioned here, I’m reading Kidnapped: Being Memoirs of the Adventures of David Balfour in the Year 1751 (Puffin Classics). And I am loving it. I have even put off spending time researching the politics of the day in Scotland that you really need to know to figure out what is going on. Maybe [...]
For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and [...]
So, because I obviously have a deep need to procrastinate (I don’t even know what I’m procrastinating about, but I must be procrastination. That is the only possible explanation), I meandsurfed over here and am now quite horrified at how much confusion can be mixed up on one place.
Of course, there is a lot to [...]
If it [WWII] had inspired or directed the development of the legend, then certainly the Ring should have been seized and used against Sauron; he should not have been annihilated but enslaved, and Barad-dur would not have been destroyed but occupied. Saruman, failing to get possession of the Ring, would in the confusion and treacheries [...]
“I first went to greet Hrothgar in his ring-hall, where Healfdene’s kinsman promptly assigned me a seat by his son and heir once my purpose was made plain to him. The company was joyous; never in my life have I heard under heaven’s vault such merriment of men over mead in the hall! The noble [...]
It has occurred to me that this post is not as clear as it could be.
By “support” I’m referring to cheerful promotion, to advocating a candidate as on “our side” etc.
File this under Another Problem With Democracy. Everyone says that we’re supposed to be realistic. We’re supposed to not be perfectionists. Blah, blah, blah. One [...]
It seems to me that there is a model of reality prevalent in the way we think The model involves minds controlling mechanisms that happen to be bodies. One’s mind is the person sitting at the computer controlling the shooter in the video game with a mouse aiming a gun and fingers on w, a, [...]
So I’m reading Kidnapped: Being Memoirs of the Adventures of David Balfour in the Year 1751 (Puffin Classics). And it occurs to me that Robert Louis Stevenson knew what he was doing naming the ship Covenant–the ship where David thought he was invited by a friend. There are all sorts of ways a crew can [...]
This is all over the blogosphere already. I didn’t bother to track down the original source.
By Dewie Whetsell, Alaskan Fisherman. (As posted in comments on Greta’s article referencing the MOVEON ad about Sarah Palin) :
The last 45 of my 66 years I’ve spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska. I understand Alaska politics but [...]
Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in his holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
He will receive blessing from the Lord
and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
Such is the generation of those [...]
