I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

Internet Wanderings

Some places I have roamed on the Internet Highway:

The Cato Institute says that President Bush is the biggest spender since Lyndon Johnson.

The extreme Left is launching a campaign to derail Hillary Clinton's Democratic nomination for the presidency.

Is there an issue on which the Left, Right, and the Center all agree?

The physiological benefits of the power of positive thinking.

China has launched its first lunar probe.

Eating broccoli is good for you... and so is wearing it!


Exegesis and theology in Galatians.

Most Americans take the well-known Bible stories at face value.


Reflections on being a parent.

John Newton and the life of Amazing Grace!

A new plastic may reduce greenhouse gases.

How to complain when things go wrong.

I've read about the Red Letter Movement. It's yet another movement to remove parts of the Bible that people don't like.

Exactly! It sounds good; what Christian, after all, wouldn't want to follow the teaching of Jesus. The problem is that it is a way to ignore the more difficult passages of the NT, especially Paul.

Even though there is much about the Emerging Movement I like, they also have the same problem. They need to enoucnter Paul. His writings are just as much Scripture as the Gospels.
