I believe that pastors have gotten way too involved in politics. The evidence is growing that political involvement is increasingly an impediment to people discovering who Jesus really was. But what I struggle with are questions like these: If you were a Christian pastor in Burma, would you march against the oppressive dictorship ruling the…

Check out this new offering from YouTube – college courses. Here is a question, if you could take college courses online from your favorite writers or thinkers or profs would you do it? Would you pay for it?

Obama’s religious talk is bugging some evangelicals: Like his predecessor Howard Dean before him, Sen. Obama must have been reading from the DNC’s pamphlet “How to Speak Like an Evangelical.” Trouble is, whoever wrote the Democrats’ book on evangelicaspeak probably did their research by watching Hollywood movies or bad TBN reruns (it’s hard to say!).…

During yesterday evening’s Republican debate, Hillary Clinton’s name was mentioned 12 times. Barack Obama’s? 0. Why? Because Republicans still think that merely mentioning her name in a critical way will make them look good to their Republican base – they think it is a way of proving their conservative credentials. It is absurd. Isn’t it…

The polar bears speak:

The newest controversy at Oral Roberts University is most easily summarized this way: Three professors, John Swails, Tim Brooker and Paulita Brooker, were fired for allegedly voicing concerns about the university’s involvement in Tulsa’s recent mayoral race — a move that would jeopardize the school’s tax exempt status. “We turned it over to the board…

Wondering if this pushes the limits of ‘Christian outreach’? Another massively popular Halo video game is out, which means another controversial opportunity for churches to outreach to youth. Already passed $300 million in sales, Halo 3 is being picked up by some churches to draw youth, causing some Christians to shake their heads. “If you…

Great, great comments on the last SCHIP post. So here is the question. What would Jesus support? Would he support universal health care? I think the answer is absolutely, unequivocally yes. Jesus would want every single person covered by a health care plan. Would Jesus support universal health care administered by the government? Not necessarily.…

Was Jesus cool? What do you think? Our friend Elvis (the alive one) wrote this: I think Jesus was always sitting with the weird kids at the proverbial 1st-century Palestine lunch table. Tax collectors? They’re not cool. And Jesus was called out by Dobsonites– no, sorry, Pharisees– for palling around with prostitutes because they were…
