“Gallery invites visitors to deface Bible” is the headline. And, this is exactly what happened, although it was (perhaps) not intended. From the story:
The Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow has invited art lovers to write their thoughts down in an open Bible on display as part of its Made in [...]

Michael Novak should be read by any who need a quick refresher course in our Christian faith. Not talking dogma or liturgy here; talking basics. Here’s a bracing piece from him on the false doctrine of “inclusiveness.” Which, in my experience, usually means ignoring persistent and unrepentant sin. [...]
Go, and sin no more

John 8:1-11 provides one of the greatest lessons in Scripture on forgiveness of sin. We all sin; none of us are truly worthy of God. Hence, Jesus and his atoning death on the cross.
It has become an article of faith among many self-proclaimed Christians that Jesus will forgive any sin, any iniquity. [...]
What a friend we have in Satan?

We all know the hymn that starts “What a friend we have in Jesus…“ And we are enjoined, all of the time, to make Jesus our “personal Savior.” And, of course, what good would a personal Savior be if he was not also our friend?
Jesus is with us always, of course. If we are [...]
John on forgiveness

So-called mainline churches are all about forgiveness and inclusiveness. We are supposed to take in all sinners, and forgive them, and treat them as members of our family. I’ve no problem with this, except that many, if not most of those churches leave out one crucial step: confession and repentance.

The Seven Deadly Sins aren’t much talked about these days. For that matter, neither is sin in general. It’s all feel-good, do your own thing, and just don’t hurt anyone’s feelings, especially if they’re a member of some anointed group that has been officially declared to contribute to “diversity.”
Killing unborn children? Just [...]
Not so grim Reaper

If you’ve not seen it, may I recommend that you add “Reaper” to your short list of guilty pleasures. “Reaper” is about Satan, and his efforts to reclaim wayward denizens of hell.
The conceit is that hell is just so overcrowded that the poor Devil simply can’t keep tabs on all of his charges. [...]

It should come as little surprise that a politician would snap at a chance (pun intended) to make an easy million or two off of the rubes in his state. This politician is a supposed man of the people, as many Democrats wish to be pictured: Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) of Maryland, who has been [...]
tolerance and faith…

…in the mainstream media. In this instance, an interesting column by Michael Gerson, “Harry Potter’s Secret..” The thesis is that Potterworld is one of tolerance, where the “other” is treated with love and dignity.
Fair enough, given the recent outing of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore by author J.K. Rowling. Mr. Gerson notes that [...]

Those churchmen pushing the gay agenda will be quick to tell you that the prohibition on homosexual acts is, well, just a sooo Old Testament Vengeful God kind of thing. We Christians are way past that. Well, perhaps those Christians are.
True, there’s an awful lot of smiting going on in the Hebrew [...]
