Were Adam and Eve Real or a Myth? Science Says Real
June 12th, 2008
A few days ago when I was talking about Adam and Eve, my teenage son remarked that in school (a Catholic school, no less) he was taught that Adam and Eve were mytholocial, not real. I told him I thought they were both, first real , then typological, and eventually mythological. I had forgotten a key bit of information to share with my son. My pastor reminded me of it yesterday.
GRACE (Not Eight) IS ENOUGH
April 13th, 2008
He knows what it profits to gain the world but lose his soul; Willie Aames was on the top of the Hollywood world as teen star. Maylo Upton-Aames absorbed the pains and pleasures of this Present Evil Age; then she learned that the Greek word for “saved” is the same as the word for “healed” Willie and Maylo let God have their lives and, in return, He gave them one another. Grace is Enough is the story of how God’s unrelenting grace turned two dramatic arcs from tragedy to joy.

When Jesus challenged his followers to “Follow Me”, He suggested that they see the world as He saw it, and let Him rule their decision making process.
Does the challenge mean anything less when offered by a pregnant, unmarried sixteen year old girl?

CINDERELLA MAN
December 10th, 2005
Fredericka Mathewes-Green notes the significance of this important movie: “Cinderella Man is not really a movie about boxing, it’s a movie about what it means to be a man. In the character of Jim Braddock, we can read what today’s audiences are wistful for: a man who works hard to support his wife and kids, who teaches his kids to be honest, who communicates his delight in his wife with every glance.” Read the whole essay here.
As you watch the film, notice how often the Kingdom of God breaks into Jim Braddock’s life with power, to the wonder of all around him. Also notice his faith.
