Absolutely fascinating if you like language and technology, like me. And don't miss the video. HT: Brian Collins
Kevin Bauder, Not Exactly a Doomsday Prophet, On the Coming Dark Age
We have been living in the daylight—that is, in a civilization that has been shaped largely by biblical perspectives and norms. We are about to plunge into the night. We are at the door of a Dark Age.... Christians must not view themselves as Moses, leading a nation...
Michael Horton on Mount Calvary Non-Negotiable No. 7
In many ways, it’s more fun to be part of movements than churches. We can express our own individuality, pick our favorite leaders, and be swept off our feet at conferences. We can be anonymous. Although encouraged by like-minded believers, we are not bound up with...
C.S. Lewis on the Myth of Scientism

Christian Convert to Islam from Greenville, SC
Every once in a while an Internet rabbit trail leads to something exceptionally interesting. Yesterday I stumbled across the video above. I began to watch as Josh (now "Yusha") Evans related his testimony of conversion from Christianity to Islam. It turns out Josh is...
Spotify Ads
I like Spotify. I can listen to just about any music I want, explore new music from my favorite artists (I found a new one today from the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir that was just exquisite!), see recommendations from friends on Facebook, and pay precisely...
