This semester – my final semester at United Seminary (as I graduate in December) – I’m taking a class entitled ‘Christ, Culture & Conversion.’
So far, it has proved to be very challenging and exciting.
The above video features Andy Crouch – editor of Christianity Today – talking about how Christians should understand, interact with and create culture.

I don’t mean to sound crass, but Billy Graham is suffering from a long list of ailments that may soon “call him home.” But before he does that, he needs to help a Mormon get elected by selling out his long held beliefs. NOTE: This is not an anti-Mormon post. I don’t care about the
David Barton posted this through his organization’s Facebook page today. It’s a video entitled “Voices Without A Vote.” In it, teenagers ranging from 13 to 16–according to them–describe how their futures are at stake in the upcoming election.

On his broadcast this morning, radio talk show host and burgeoning media mogul Glenn Beck shared with his audience of millions that he and his co-hosts were fasting for God’s will to be done during this campaign season. Oopsy. You see, fasting is not really supposed to be something you go around telling
