Cheers to Adrian Davis from Biola’s The Chimes.

I would like to take this opportunity to both affirm #9, but denounce #7. No greater turn-off than the pre-emptive or too-soon DTR.

File Under: Every freshman’s thinking in, might as well call it like it is.

One Flew over the Resurrection.

Jared from ChristiansInContext.org reviews “Did the Resurrection Happen?” by Gary Habermas, Resurrection scholar, and Anthony Flew, long-time avowed atheist, who only recently recanted his atheist position for that of a theist (deist possibly?) one.

Samoa leaving the right way behind.

Samoa becomes the first country since the 1970′s to go from driving on the right side of the road, to the left.

File Under: They’re just waiting an affordable Aston Martin now.

Great grand-daddy Darwin.

Darwin’s great granddaughter seeks to retrace the famed naturalist’s journey.

File Under: My great grandfather was a steeler. Retracing his steps sounds tiring.

But it’s a nice big brother.

The Role of Women at Dinner Parties.

Glen — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 04:44:38 +0000

I’m sitting at dinner, at a table full of friends, not least of which are two new ones. A man and a woman, whom I’d met that night. The one woman had been in ministry for some time, the man was a grad student at Fuller.

They both, although predominantly the Fuller guy, begin talking about the role of women in the church. He especially grows more and more excited at the historical injustice, “The attributes of God transcend…” this, and “cultural context” that.

I’m not sure that I entirely disagree with him. But this was neither a time nor a place to be even handed, nor to engage in meaningful dialogue of ideas for the edification of the Body.

So when the conversation had more or less moved on, I finally opened my mouth, to lean in and say, “I just want you both to know, that despite the fact that I haven’t said much during this conversation, doesn’t mean I don’t hate women. I do. But I hate them all equally.”

File Under: You only get to make a first impression once.

Bauckham is unbelievable.

Glen — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 04:19:08 +0000

Richard Bauckham, author of Jesus and the Eyewitnesses and former professor of New Testament at St. Andrews, debates James Crossley. Worth the listen if you’re yet to hear anything by Bauckham.

“If you have this Jesus in your heart, you are dead to me!”

Most people just put ‘nanas in their Jello.

Some people put lamp oil.

File Under: Patricide, meet Jello.

Apparently, modest really is hottest.
