Humor: Sam Storms has some fun when thinking about the fact that yesterday was 06/06/06.

Conference: Bob Kauflin has announced the WorshipGod06 blog. Yours truly will be liveblogging this conference which takes place in August.

Terrorism: Ian Clary answers the question of “Why Muslims Must Hate Us.” “I have to admit, hearing about the recent terrorist findings here in Toronto last week has shaken me up a little.

Science: “New Scientist” explains why we tend to need a siesta after dinner or another big meal.

Lots of Single Christians but Few Weddings

I find it one of the great mysteries of the modern church. It does not exist in every context and every congregation, but as I’ve traveled and inquired, I’ve become convinced it exists in a great many of them. Here is the mystery: A lot of churches have many single men and many single women…

The Continental Divide of Doctrine

A journey into the Rocky Mountains of Western Canada brought me to Vermilion Pass, a single point that divides two national parks and two provinces. It also divides two watersheds, for it stands upon the continental divide. To one side of this spot all waters flow west and eventually find their way to the vast…

The Futility of Motherhood

Life is made up of so much that gives the appearance of being futile. There are so many tasks and responsibilities that we intellectually know to be important but emotionally feel to be fruitless.
