Posted by on 5.20.07 in Current Events, Theology

Last Sunday I preached at Calvary Baptist Church in Tupelo on What is a Christian? I actually started thinking about the topic when Al Sharpton stirred up a theological kerfuffle during a debate with atheist Christopher Hitchens.

Posted by on 4.25.07 in Current Events, Theology

Last night Bill O’Reilly interviewed atheist Richard Dawkins, author of the current bestseller The God Delusion. Here is the video of the interview.

Posted by on 3.8.07 in Theology

Several weeks ago I had the unique experience of witnessing my first infant baptism. I suppose that one statement says a lot about my own spiritual background in that I managed to live 54 years without ever seeing an infant baptism in person.

Here’s a quote to keep in mind as millions of people prepare to watch the Lost Tomb of Jesus on the Discovery Channel tonight: “Christianity is a religion of facts, not of ideas.
