  • Christopher Hitchens Needs to See Empirical Evidence

    Living in the Omaha community, I was intrigued by a comment which Christopher Hitchens made when accepting a "freethinker" award last weekend in Texas. In explaining his many travels he said, "I lack only the Dakotas and Nebraska, though I may not get there unless someone comes up with some ethanol-based cancer treatment in Omaha."

  • Mitt Romney's Predicament With 'The Book of Mormon'

    Most Americans, including many evangelical Christians, will not hold Mitt Romney's religion against him when they cast their vote for President next year. Americans as a whole want a competent individual in the White House whether that person believes in historic Christianity or not. For various reasons, Mitt Romney's religious views have taken a rather prominent stage recently in a similar way to what happened to Barack Obama four years ago.

  • The 'iSoul' Was God's Greatest Invention

    The 'iSoul' Was God's Greatest Invention

    Man in his creativity produced the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad. God in His creativity produced the "iSoul." "The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." (Genesis 2:7) God created man with an immortal soul, or what I am calling an "iSoul" for the purpose of this article. As C.S. Lewis said, "You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body."

  • Excogitating Bill O'Reilly's Sermon to Richard Dawkins

    If you have ever watched his show, you know that Bill O'Reilly ends his program with a "Word of the Day" in order to teach his viewers new vocabulary. With that in mind, I decided to use "excogitating" in the title of this article. It means to "think about seriously in order to comprehend fully." Bill really is a "stand-up guy" and is often thinking seriously about current issues and events.

  • When an Apple Falls Far from the Tree

    The sad death of Apple CEO Steve Jobs is yet another example of an apple falling far from the tree. It never feels natural for us to say "goodbye" to a loved one who has died. God didn't create us to die. He created us to live forever. Doesn't "forever" feel right to you and like the way it should be? That's because God has "set eternity in the hearts of men." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

  • Steve Jobs Knew How to 'Think Different'

    It was more than just an advertising slogan created for Apple Computer in 1997. It was the way Steve Jobs lived his entire life, including the way he approached technology. "Think Different" was at the foundation of everything Steve touched. It also happens to be a phrase that describes what Jesus taught people to do while He was on earth.

  • Pat Robertson and the Buddhist Broadcasting Network

    Labels don’t really matter, do they? In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Pat Robertson said that Mitt Romney is an outstanding “Christian.” Never mind the fact that Mitt is a Mormon. Pat might want to consider “The Buddhist Broadcasting Network” as a new name for his corporation. After all, Buddhists are trying to be spiritual people too.

  • Amanda Knox, Johnny, and Your Day in Court

    Amanda Knox, Johnny, and Your Day in Court

    After spending four years behind bars, Amanda Knox’s murder conviction has been overturned by an Italian appeals court. In a way, every courtroom verdict announced in the world today is a reminder of the ultimate verdict that each person will receive in God's courtroom on Judgment Day. The courtrooms seen today with our eyes point to the one out in the future seen by faith.

  • My Soul: Christ's Home - With One Exception

    It all began for you as a believer when you trusted Christ and He entered the door of your heart. At that moment, Jesus took up residence in the home of your soul. He enjoys being with you in every room of your soul except one. He will never spend time with you in the basement.

  • Will Shane Hipps Lead Mars Hill Back to the Future?

    Now that Rob Bell has decided to leave Mars Hill to pursue other ventures in Los Angeles and probably to infinity and beyond, some are wondering which direction fellow Mars Hill teaching pastor Shane Hipps will go if the baton is handed to him. Will he keep things moving down the same emergent path that Rob paved for the church?
