The Bible and Culture

Michael Moore, our national agent provocateur, is nothing if he is not controversial.  But in a democracy with freedom of speech, it’s good to have prophets and pundits and pot stirrers and he is one such person.  Some find his docu-drama’s infuriating, some find them fascinating, some just find them funny.  I have found them…

The final six sessions of the new series of Deeper Connections ar called The Last Days of Jesus which is a bit odd, since the first two sessions deal with the confession of Peter at Caesarea Philippi (mis-spelled on the intro video to the first session) well before Passion Week, and the Transfiguration story which…

  ‘A  frank response to Frank, who said, “regrets I’ve had a few, But far too few to mention… I did it my way”    Shortcomings just like snowflakes, Are always piling up, A life time of the little things Filling up life’s cup.    Then some day, and in some way They have their…

The Deeper Connections series has hit its stride, and in this particular set of three DVDs there is a conscious effort to reach the Emerging Church movement and provide it with better Biblical resources.  This is evident from the addition of the two female contributors to the series– Margaret Feinberg who introduces the series and…

This is not the movie to see just before lunch. In fact, it is not the movie to see right after a big lunch either.  But it does provide a bit of food for thought.  In the never ending quest to find entertainment suitable and safe for children this movie has been dubbed a winner. …

Fresh off the success of the first three Deeper Connections videos, Matt Williams and five additional NT scholars have provided us with three more in depth Bible study tools complimenting the first three.  The format is the same as the first series—- three parts, one set in Israel, two back here in the States at…

Its Number One on Amazon, and has gone to the top of several best seller lists, and the reviews are pouring in for Dan Brown’s latest blockbuster novel, sure to be made into a movie.  But even Mr. Brown’s fans, reviewing the book on Amazon, are about equally divided as to whether this novel makes…

I was fortunate enough to have time to go to a UNC football game in Chapel Hill last Saturday with our daughter Christy who lives in Raleigh now and is working on her masters degree.  After some good ole Bullocks barbecue on Friday night,  Saturday took us to the Carolina Coffee Shop on Franklin Street…
