Christian Carnival 150

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Christian Carnival 150 is up at Brain Cramps for God. Posts everyone should read: Evangelical Outpost has one of the most important posts I’ve read in a long time. The Next Abolition Movement: Abolishing Slavery in the 21st Century I Still Don’t Get Church is a post that resonates with me – and makes me [...]

The Limits to God’s Grace

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

I’m a little behind in posting this week. I’ve been meaning to write about this since last week, I just haven’t found the time. Bart Campolo recently had an article published in YS’ Student Ministries Journal called "The Limits to God’s Grace." The article has subsequently been removed because of controversy. I’m going to go [...]

Christian Bloggers

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

An “evilutionist” friend of mine and I were once talking about how it seems like all Christian blogs have the same blogroll. I figured out why yesterday…it’s because they do! Apparantly, there’s a Christian Blogger Aggregator. I reworked my sidebars and added the blogroll to Imago Dei. That’s the fair thing to do since I [...]

Philophronos Blogging

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

You may have noticed a new blogroll in my sidebar: Philophronos Blogging. This is a new blogging concept come up with by Laura and Henry. It’s an effort for Christians to reflect gentleness, respect, and kindness to everyone regardless of belief. It’s an effort to keep debate civil. It was conceived with politics in mind, [...]

Atheist-Christian Discussion

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

I’m beginning to realize more and more that there is a lack of common sense among the masses. When I first read this post, I found myself thinking, “Duh. That’s common sense.” Of course an atheist would disagree with a theist and find a way to tell them so in a conversation. Of course an [...]

Paul, a feminist?

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

Here’s an alternate look at the passage in 1 Corinthians that have traditionally been interpreted as Paul saying men must have short hair and women must have long hair. I have to say, this makes sense, but I’ll have to investigate further.

Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage…

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

Great, now that song is stuck in my head. Ask anybody what Scripture passage is best read at a wedding and you’ll always get 1 Corinthians 13 aka the Love chapter (all of a sudden I hear bow chica bow wow 70s style music in my head…). Slacktivist has a great post on the kind [...]

Pride? Humility? Truth?

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Update: I wrote this post last night when I was exhausted. Looking back over it this morning I realize that it isn’t as coherent and cohesive as it seemed to be last night. Following is my rewrite. Where do you draw the line between pride, humility, and truth? Bizarre question, I know. I’ve been struggling [...]

The Prosperity "Gospel"

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

Laura has a great post about the prosperity gospel, and she had an awesome parody of the prosperity gospel. Here it is for your viewing pleasure:
