    philippians 2:1-11 [Christ's example of humility]

    Read Philippians 2:1-11 (ESV, NIV, The Message) If we are not careful, culture rather than God will actually define reality for us. This is the core of many problems in discipleship today. American Christians need not worry of persecution from the world, but seduction by the world. The world we live in is [...]

    together today [a biblical perspective on good friday and earth day]

    Today the sacred day Good Friday joins with the secular day Earth Day. Good Friday is the day we remember and honor the suffering of Christ Jesus and his death upon the crucifix.  It is of paramount importance in the Christian calendar.  Good Friday along with Easter Sunday are the [...]

    how should a christian watch a movie?

    Should a Christian watch a movie for entertainment purposes only?  Or does a Christian need to question and critique every aspect of the movie thus taking away its entertainment value? I would suggest that movie watching for Christians should be both entertainment and critical interaction. It seems to me that [...]

    what’s wrong with movies?

    It seems to me that nothing is inherently wrong with movies. Movies are a good medium to learn about history, literature, culture, science, etc. However, the movie ratings system would suggest that some (or most) movies contain some form of objectionable content. So begins the great debate – Is it [...]

    5 current google trends [and the church]

    One of my favorite things to do is to check out Google Trends. It’s not only interesting to see what other people are searching, but sometimes this stuff actually gives me ideas on things to write! The amazing thing about tools like Google Trends (and Twitter’s trending topics) is that there [...]

    [dillon burroughs] on evangelizing to other faiths

    What do you do when you encounter someone of another faith when sharing yours? Many people think they need to know everything there is about the other faith in order to refute it . But rarely does someone change their faith system because someone who knows a lot about it told [...]

    mock trial: carrie prejean v. the world

    Alright…  I know that there is a lot being said these days on the topic of gay marriage, especially since Miss California Carrie Prejean has openly shared her personal views on the topic. Just for the record, here’s how it went down… Perez Hilton: Vermont recently became the fourth state [...]

    why we think it's ok to cheat and steal

    In my opinion, one of the most interesting discussions related to religious studies is that of morality. I won’t deny the fact that many power-hungry people throughout history have used Christianity and the name of Jesus in the wrong way for selfish gain. However, the message of the Christian Bible [...]

    muslim man beheads wife?

    Normally when we hear about beheadings, it is at the hands of Islamic extremists in the midst of jihadic activity. They are usually making some public statement that is intended to send a political message and strike fear in their opponents. But this one is different… A recent headline shares the [...]

    in defense of christian marriage

    Chalk one up for Christian values! One of my biggest pet-peeves is the humanist/atheist perspective that says that ‘religion’ is the cause of some of the biggest problems that our world faces today. I believe that this is a gross misrepresentation of the Church, and is based on the actions of [...]
