Well, the truth can finally be told. As an evangelical, I take my direction from Art Linkletter, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Kurt Warner.
It’s all revealed in the doctoral thesis of D. Michael Lindsay of Princeton University:
Is there a “hidden handâ€? behind the rise to power of the evangelical movement in America over the last […]
For example, here’s an analogy that doesn’t work very well at all: homeschoolers as Essenes. Dave Terpstra struggles with educational choices for his children, but it appears he needs to struggle a good bit more.
What’s disappointing is that this is a Christianity Today blog (their Leadership blog!). I expected better. Sigh.

I’ve been waiting for this story in Christianity Today to be available online. It is astounding and captivating to see what has happened to the South American Auca Indians since their tribesmen killed five American missionaries (including Jim Elliot) back in the 50s. Go read it - you won’t be disappointed.
The story is […]
OK. I’ll admit I’ve never tried anything like this, and I am probably more skeptical of it than I should be.
Christianity Today runs an online series called Men of Integrity (sort of makes up for this, I guess), with daily readings and a weekly theme. This week’s theme is Be A […]
Another TV show getting those troublesome Christian conservatives all riled up. This time, it’s NBC’s The Book of Daniel, which is apparently a mid-season replacement, starring Aidan Quinn in the title role.

Dear Parents,
In your next e-mail newsletter from ChristianParentingToday.com, you will find some exciting changes, including a […]
The scene: Daddy and daughter in truck waiting at a stop light. Celine Dion singing “O Holy Night” on the radio (Celine is one of Daddy’s least favorite singers; her emoting style grates on his nerves).
Celine: “Oh Niiiiiiggggghhhtttt Dee–viiiiiiiiiinnne!”
Daddy: (Throws out hands and lipsyncs “Dee–viiiiiiiiiinnnne!”)
Light turns green. Hands back on wheel, Daddy moves […]
“I was sick yesterday, but I got cured by God.”
I recently started receiving emails from an outfit called Christian Cyber Ministries. At work. I’m not exactly sure how that started, but it’s beside the point.
Yesterday’s email from “Pastor Bill” related the “Story Behind The Twelve Days of Christmas. Perhaps you’ve seen some version of this. As the story […]
