Great Article Ya Gotta Read It
If you've been wanting a good summation of the hot issue of Christian political involvement, look no further. I read this article a little while back when it came out, and when just now I ran across a few quotes I saved from it, I knew I had to recommend it to you and...

My friend Brent Cook, BJU apologetics and worldview teacher, gave me permission to post the following list. This is what he wrote to introduce it: Several have asked for book recommendations related to the classes I’ve taught this semester. Here is a partial list I...
Add to Instapaper
A quick, must-read New York Times article about one of today’s foremost Christian philosophers. I prefer John Frame for my epistemology, but I’ve made a little bit of progress in Warranted Christian Belief.
Wikipedia’s Fundraising Scare Tactics
Okay, okay, Wikipedia! Just stop showing faces brim-full of opprobrium toward us cheapskate users and I’ll give you money! I have actually given money to Wikipedia in the past, something that’s rare for me, I confess; do I really deserve this? Maybe you readers should...
Quick Thought on Social Media
I’ve been on Facebook pretty much since it became available to me. I tried MySpace briefly. I have an obligatory Google Plus account. But the one piece of social media I most enjoy is Goodreads. Here’s why: in the world of book reading, things don’t happen fast. Even...
Spotify: Not Sharpest Knife in Drawer, But Close
This review was supplied by little Mikey Wood, a ten-year-old technology reviewer I have hired to do kid-appropriate reviews of new tech. Mikey is a distant cousin of Rodney Trotter, of Reformation 21 fame. I like Spotify. It is good. It's kind of weird, though,...

I Once Was Deaf but Now I Hear
I watched the video above (can’t remember whom to HT!), and I know this is old news for many already… I noticed that the woman’s speech did not sound like that of profoundly deaf people I’d heard; it was quite clear. I did not detect any accent or slurring at all. And...
ACPADI Book Club—Creation Regained Week 4, Chapter 4: “Redemption” (With Chapter 5 and the Postscript Kind of Thrown In There)
I’m late, I’m late… I was on a professional development trip and I just couldn’t get the last post of the month out. I needed to redeem the time a little better, apparently. So here we go: Redemption. First I’ll just tick off a few reflections: Normally I’m...
