No, I Won’t Pray for You. There is a lot of very good wisdom in this article. “It’s the easiest thing in the world to say: “Yes, I’ll pray about that.” And it’s the easiest thing to neglect. The list of all the things I’ve said I’d pray for but then forgotten about would stretch from here to next year. So I’ve started to say, “No, I won’t pray for you.” I am still not entirely comfortable with it, but I think it’s the right thing to do.”

The Real Santa Claus Slaps Heretics. I love this story.

Non-Christians Are Incapable of True Virtue. That was my own title based on this very short thought that Denny Burk takes from Jonathan Edwards. As he says, “The implications are staggering.”

Sexual Orientation & the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Albert Mohler explains why he has started to recognize the concept of sexual orientation. His thoughts are worth reflecting on. Also, kudos to him for always being willing to be challenged, corrected, and sharpened.

What Was the Purpose of the Old Testament Tabernacle? Why did God tell the Israelites to build Him a tent in the desert? For a lot of very exciting reasons.

Why It’s Ok for Christians to Worship Idols. As is cleary stated at the beginning of the piece, this is satire. The author does an excellent job using Christian pro-homosexuality argumentation to argue for the legitimacy of idolatry. “For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to worship idols. It’s not that my parents raised me that way, because they didn’t; I was brought up in a loving, secure, Christian home. But from childhood until today, my heart has been drawn to idolatry. In fact, if I’m honest, one of the defining features of my identity has been my desire to put something else – popularity, money, influence, sex, success – in place of God.”

Interstellar Movie Review. A Christian offer his thoughts about the blockbuster.

Five Points for Parents Who Want to Pass on Their Faith to Their Children. “Five things families should know, do, or remember if they want to pass on their faith to the next generation.”

Archery Amazement. The fellas from Dudeperfect, a group known for their insane basketball shots, picks up some bows and amaze us all. Is there anything these guys aren’t good at?
