Abstinence

There is a great deal of hype on the recently published report regarding abstinence training and its inability to stem promiscuous sexual behavior. This report was immediately sent up the web food chain on digg.com and reddit.com. It’s always interesting to me how these sites promote just about any pro-sex article that comes along, but quietly ignore [...]

Urbana closed out with a celebration and the breaking of bread on New Years Eve.  I wasn’t able to post on the last day so let me hit a few highlights now that the event is over. On Friday night there was a special session devoted to raising awareness on AIDS, particularly the crisis in [...]

Liveblogging from Urbana #3

Friday at Urbana was a full day.  The morning started with plenary sessions for the students.  At 12:30 the “exhibitors hall” opened up and students began streaming in once again. One of the more important parts of Urbana are seminars held during the afternoons.  I participated in a seminar yesterday called “Around the World” which [...]

Liveblogging from Urbana #2

Another Dawkins Article

Our friends at Digg have posted yet another Dawkin’s link which has quickly risen to the top of the dung heap.  I read through a number of posts and surveyed the usual anti-religious sentiments of a number of the posters, but noticed that there are some real questions as well. I would like to point [...]

Digg and the Techno-Utopians

For some time I have been observing the anti-religious nature of pretty much all Digg stories that rise to the front page. The story, if it contains any religious overtones, must be anti-Christian or, more generally, anti-religious. So I have been reading posts and trying to figure out the religious position that most of these [...]

Calling – Is it good theology?

I recently was at a missions conference for a Southern Baptist Church.  It was interesting for me to observe the strong emphasis on “calling to full-time service” during the program.  Albert Mohler has written about this in an article on his web site.  I wonder, though, if this whole concept is bad theology. First, there [...]
