What Should Christians Think About Selfies?
It's a selfie world out there. Instagram has enriched itself with millions self-portraits. So, a few thoughts to the selfie culture – especially those in the church.
Movie Review of Kirk Cameron's 'Unstoppable'
"Unstoppable" is a short commentary on Genesis, which is consequently a commentary on the whole Bible. The great rainbow (bow) serves as an instrument of war. God took that instrument and directed it to His only begotten Son at the cross. At the cross, Christ was brutally murdered by His own creation.

The atheist star, Madylin O' Hair, who thrived with her vicious condemnation of Biblical Christianity in the 70's and 80's has birthed a new generation of God-hating disciples. College professors in public universities have learned that the classroom is the best place for a non-religious experience.

But there is another group of Christians out there that simply haven't joined for lack of knowledge of the benefits Facebook can offer. As a friend, you may have to print them a copy of this piece, or send them a link via e-mail.
Lent and Legalism
I suggest that Lent is highly Trinitarian. As the Trinity is a communion of love, so Lent provides a means to express that love to one another in the community.

Lent is service to the community by giving us a season of determined battle against sin for the sake of our neighbors.
