One of our recent polls asked for your general thoughts about online church. The vast majority of you said you’d like online church to disappear from our culture just like hypercolor t-shirts. It’s an argument I understand. There is a lot of debate on whether online community is as genuine as in person relationships.
And good [...]

Poll Roundup: Summers and Skipping Church
We recently took a poll about how TC-ers juggle summer vacations and going to church.
The vast majority of us, 75%, keep on keepin’ on during the summer. But about a fourth of us miss a few Sundays at our home church thanks to vacationing, sleeping in, playing in sun, etc.
So I’m wondering, what’s your routine [...]
What Do You Like About TC?
Over the past few weeks we’ve posted some poll questions to learn more about the Think Christian community. Since some of us are new to the TC family, we were curious. And we thought a lot of you would be interested too.
As you can see from the results so far, we’re a pretty diverse group. [...]
New Poll: Banned Books
We just put up a new poll. It’s a straight forward yes or no question: Have you ever read a banned book?
Here’s the list that the ALA publishes if you need a refresher. Feel free to post in the comments which ones you have read.

Friday challenge: help somebody who’s struggling financially this week
Feeling the pinch of high fuel prices these days? Whether you drive a Hummer or a Prius, it’s a safe bet your budget has been smacked by this latest round of fuel price hikes. I had a personal epiphany about this a few weeks ago when, planning a trip downtown to the bookstore to purchase [...]
New Poll: Second Coming?
Do TC readers like TC polls?
Judging from the number of you that vote on these things, we’d have to say, “Yes!”
I know the TC writers have been stoked (yes, stoked) about the response rate on these things. We enjoy writing them and you enjoy voting on them.
This past week we asked if it [...]
New poll: is it morally OK for a pastor to make $1,000,000?
We’ve got a new poll this week. But first things first: last week’s poll, which asked “How far do you live from your church?” Lots of you voted, and there were some great comments on the topic, so if you missed the discussion, be sure to check it out.
Here’s how the voting broke down:
29% of [...]
New poll: how far do you live from your church?
How far do you live from your church?
The question of distance from church has been on my mind a lot lately. I realized the other day that I’ve never, in my entire life, lived within walking distance of any of the churches I’ve attended—it’s always been a bit of a drive across or into town [...]
New poll: which of the remaining Narnia movies are you most looking forward to?
It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for a new weekly poll. Last week’s poll asked what you think of the Evangelical Manifesto. Exactly 100 of you voted—considerably less than in previous polls, but that number does make it easy for even math-challenged me to calculate the percentages. Here’s what you had to say about the [...]
New poll: what do you think of the Evangelical Manifesto?
It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for a new weekly poll!
First, a quick recap of last week’s. We asked what you would do if you felt that your pastor was in serious error over a non-salvation issue. 241 of you weighed in, and here’s what you said:
The vast majority, 66%, said that they would remain [...]
