Every Life Has a Story
February 8, 2012A Little Blog Update
January 30, 2012Just a little note about what I am hoping to do in the future. I have come to the conclusion that the season of life right now is one with little margin for rightly lengthy blogposts (though I have dozens of drafts awaiting my attention!). So to keep my blog active, I will attempt to [...]
Brian McLaren and the Unknowable Gospel
March 22, 2011Brian McLaren recently jumped into the fray of the Love Wins fracas by offering an interpretation of Albert Mohler’s interpretation of Rob Bell’s interpretation of the gospel. That may sound like an odd way to make a contribution, but if you’re Brian McLaren, offering an interpretation of someone else’s interpretation is actually the best thing [...]

Breakdown of Fall Break and Your Thoughts
October 8, 2007A week ago, I thought it would be a good idea to share some of my thoughts on the Southern Baptist Convention. I had before me some chicken scratch on a napkin from a conversation at the Founders Cafe earlier that week. If I had known that that chicken scratch would result in 12,000+ words [...]

Re: Inclusivism – A Concise Bibliography

I hope that these books, essays, and articles will be helpful in directing you to resources for your personal study. Admittedly so, whenever categories are provided, [...]
15 Questions I Would Ask Billy Graham
August 30, 2006At the close of yesterday’s article, I shared that I think more clarification is needed regarding Billy Graham’s theology of religions and exclusivity of the gospel. On several occasions, Graham has tacitly denied one of the most important issues of the Christian faith—the necessity, extent and efficaciousness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and His [...]
Moore About Billy Graham
August 29, 2006Last night, I was made aware that Billy Graham has written to Newsweek magazine in the upcoming issue (September 4, 2006) regarding his recent interview with Jon Meacham. Here is what Graham had to say: I was overwhelmed by NEWSWEEK’s generous coverage of the life my wife, Ruth, and I are experiencing as we grow [...]
Above All Earthly . . . Blogs
August 28, 2006I am aware that many of you have either started or are looking to start reading David Wells’ latest book, Above All Earthly Pow’rs: Christ in a Postmodern World. Since there are so many people reading it and a great deal to talk about in the book, a couple of friends of mine have started [...]
Sunday Thoughts
August 27, 2006Here are some thoughts I had today . . . * After hearing news of the plane crash in Lexington, I couldn’t help but think about the questions which will inevitably be asked (usually on Larry King Live) as they were when 911, the tsunami, and Katrina happened. Questions like “Where was God that Sunday [...]
