Earlier this month, when visitors came to the largest video game conference in the U.S., they were greeted by protesters.  The group of people were Christians who were upset at the release of a new video game called Dante’s Inferno.  At least that’s what the video game developer, Electronic Arts, wanted you to think.
As Phil [...]

There’s been a lot of passion and finger pointing surrounding the recent murder of Dr. George Tiller.  He’s a well known Wichita, Kansas doctor who performed late term abortions.  Last Sunday, Tiller was shot to death in his church, where he was an usher.
How about we stay away from the typical abortion arguments to answer [...]

I was hoping to see how a Christian family is working though tough marital times.  Instead, it was a sad look into how fame can corrupt a family of eight.
“Jon & Kate Plus 8” kicked off its fifth season Monday night.  For those who watch the show there was much anticipation about how the family [...]

There’s been a fair amount of press coverage lately about situations where parents are refusing medical treatment for their kids based on religious reasons.  Parents are currently in court or on the run from authorities being accused of neglect.
In one case, a Wisconsin mom is on trial, charged with second degree homicide, after her 11-year-old [...]

At first I shook my head.  Then I started to laugh.  Finally a co-worker helped me realize he’s evangelizing to someone who is already a believer.
Stick with the whole thing (it gets good about a minute in) and share your thoughts.

Above are the results of a recent survey done by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life asking Christians their thoughts on the second coming of Christ.  To be honest, I have some real yell at my computer screen moments about some of the conclusions.  Blame non-committal survey takers.  Blame low Bible literacy.  Blame [...]

Easter is quickly approaching and many churches are gearing up to reach people who don’t normally come to church.  So I shouldn’t be surprised to see a church doing a stunt that just doesn’t sit well with me.
Calvary Church in Irving Texas is promising to put their pastor in a six foot, clear plastic box [...]

I recently read an article in the USA Today about how the mortgage meltdown is trickling down to churches.  The story starts off talking about a D.C. area church that was building a 3,000 seat, $30 million facility.  They had already sold and moved out of the old building when all of the funding for [...]

I just had an inquiry from the Religion Editor at a major American weekly news magazine. She wants to know our take on the phrase “followers of Jesus,” particularly as an alternative to the term “Christian.” 
I see it on Facebook regularly, when some of my Christian friends describe their religious affiliation with a variety of terms that [...]

Far fewer people seem to be bothered by the death of newspapers than I would have hoped.
My mother and I delivered The Denver Post for a year when I was in high school. Every morning that year, I came to school with newsprint on my hands. It stayed on my hands long enough to wear [...]
