Sermon delivered on May 25th at the North Hills Community Baptist Church. Audio Link (NHCBC.com) Isaiah 53:1-10 New International Version (NIV) 53 Who has believed our message     and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,     and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,     nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,     a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces     he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. 4 Surely he took up our painRead More →

This thread of comments from over at Deadspin is absolutely fantastic!  It was posted in response to Bill Murray’s speech at some random guy’s bachelor party in Charleston, SC.  …enjoy Yesterday 9:13am VeryWell VeryWell> Drew Magary Yesterday 9:13am He’s correct about the traveling together bit- totally revealing. Paddling a two person canoe is a cheaper way to stress test a budding romance, though.   Woodhouse Woodhouse>VeryWell Yesterday 9:18am There’s a reason why residents of Kauai, Hawaii refer to two-person kayaks as “divorce canoes”   VeryWell VeryWell>Woodhouse Yesterday 9:26am Wouldn’t that be something- if there was less divorce amongst Hawaiians because of outriggers.

Six-Time NBA Champion Kareem Abdul-Jabbar speaks-out on the finger-wagging being done by the media and asks the exact question everyone else SHOULD be asking:  This was a surprise to you?  Donald Sterling is truly a despicable human being, but this isn’t news.  Why the moral outrage now? Do not get caught-up in Kareem’s politics here, you’ll miss the greater point. Time Magazine Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Moral outrage is exhausting. And dangerous. The whole country has gotten a severe case of carpal tunnel syndrome from the newest popular sport of Extreme Finger Wagging. Not to mention the neck strain from Olympic tryouts for Morally Superior Head Shaking.Read More →

The New York Times… A Star Player Accused, and a Flawed Rape Investigation By WALT BOGDANICH Tallahassee, Fla. — Early on the morning of Dec. 7, 2012, a freshman at Florida State University reported that she had been raped by a stranger somewhere off campus after a night of drinking at a popular Tallahassee bar called Potbelly’s. As she gave her account to the police, several bruises began to appear, indicating recent trauma. Tests would later find semen on her underwear. For nearly a year, the events of that evening remained a well-kept secret until the woman’s allegations burst into the open, roiling the university andRead More →

The NCAA needs to figure this out if it hopes to have a future.  Its athletes (in major sports) are not amateurs, they are semi-employed fund-raisers for the school, the conference and the national associations to which the school belongs.  Let’s be clear here, we are talking specifically about revenue-generating sports.  For schools like Texas, Ohio State and Alabama, that major sport is Football.  For Duke, North Carolina and UCLA, that sport is Basketball.  At Tennessee it is football and Women’s basketball. The reality is that the athletes (especially in football) have no choice but to serve their three years before entering the NFL draft.Read More →

Old Testament Law…What did that say?

In: Blog, Christianity, Culture, Doctrine

Within the context of the Old Testament covenants and New Testament understandings, there comes a conflict when Gentiles and Christian Jews attempt to discern whether the Levitical and Deuteronical laws apply in the new faith and new covenant through Jesus Christ.  It is this conflict that J. Daniel Hays attempts to resolve in his essay “Applying the Old Testament Law Today.”  Hays points out (correctly) that the inter-weaving of ceremonial, civil, and moral laws prohibit an outright categorization based on locale of the scripture.  Hays puts forth a suggested new approach, which he calls “principlism” to help Christians ascertain which elements of the Law pertainRead More →

Provo…The New Geneva

Forum paper from Church History on John Calvin’s Geneva and the rules by which the city was run… Question: Describe Calvin’s Geneva. Could you conceive of such a society today? Why or why not? Upon his return to Geneva (1541) until his death in 1563, John Calvin sought to institute social and moral reforms within the city. Calvin worked with city officials to pass a series of laws called the Ecclesiastical Ordinances, which established the Consistory, a court of sorts that would oversee these moral and social reforms. Some forms of punishment for breaking the moral code included a public repentance, attending religious services, receivingRead More →

Whitlock on Eagles and Jackson

Whitlock: Eagles had other issues with DeSean Jackson By: Jason Whitlock (ESPN.com) It’s my belief Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles wanted to trade DeSean Jackson because the diminutive receiver is — and always has been — a massive headache for a coaching staff. DeSean Jackson received criticism for being a high-maintenance player for coaches to handle.   It’s my belief Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles cut DeSean Jackson because they realized a sensationalized media report tying together the diminutive receiver’s “gang ties” would eviscerate Jackson’s trade value. The people, including two-mouths-and-one-ear All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman, screaming that Kelly and the Eagles have acted in a racist manner haveRead More →
