According to this article, more than 50% of Americans believe prayer and Bible study alone can cure mental illness! This is really worse than I thought things were. Feeling very depressed after reading this article! It’s shocking, but at the same time understandable. So few Christians are raised in a way that educates them about…

Here is a professor at a local seminary who is director of their biblical counseling institute. He questions the commonly held view of mental illness as an organic disease and views it as a spiritual matter. His view is that the mind is not part of the body. He says,”Can someone get mentally ill? No.…

The hermeneutic I like to follow is this: Let Scripture exegete Scripture where possible. Follow the principle of contextual realism. You accept what the text is saying as real (as opposed to allegorical, symbolic, metaphorical) unless the context or genre clearly either indicates you should not.

Thanks to a recent story in The Independent online my blog got a bunch of pageviews. Woot! Check out the stats: By the way, I agree with journalist Guy Adams. NBC’s coverage of the Olympics has been amateurish, inept and downright irritating. He didn’t deserve to have his Twitter account suspended. Instead of broadcasting events…

Disgusted by the secular media and researchers. This find does not cast doubt on the Shroud of Turin! Is it so unfathomable that in a huge metropolis like Jerusalem with different garment makers you could have different weaving techniques and one versus multiple piece burial cloths? HOW ASANINE!!! The Shroud of Turin is amazing and…

This film was in sore need of a strong stylized narrative. I attribute this to the director, Soderbergh, who is known for being heavy handed and muddy in his story telling. The storytelling was laborious and at times disjointed. Just shows you can have 4 well known and very competent actors, Douglas, Banderas, McGregor and…
