    What's Your Favorite Movie or T.V. Scene?

    Perhaps in each of the movie scenes I posted the chord struck was only somewhat emotional, more contemplative which has some emotional aspect. The Godfather scene stirred this sense of hypocrisy in that we can put on this outward air of the sacred which belies our true nature. The "In Cold...

    What is the role of art in the Christian life?

    Yes, and as noted typically Peter Watchorn includes notes on the particular Harpsichord he uses. He also is involved in the construction of such based on 17th/18th instruments.

    What is the role of art in the Christian life?

    The Creation Story: Literal, or Figurative?

    Let us not get testy...where did I imply that I was defending science over God? If you take note I have oft written the necessity of a humble approach to Genesis 1, and 2 for that matter. However, as noted we can have some understanding from the "things that have been made" why should we deny...

    The Creation Story: Literal, or Figurative?

    Genesis 2:7 clearly shows mediate creation of man, as does Ecc. 3:20.

Perhaps we can all agree that we are unable to comprehend God completely but we can apprehend what God has revealed to us. Time is short at present so I can't give you...

    The Creation Story: Literal, or Figurative?

    The point is that the processes God commanded "...Let the land produce..." would have most certainly required time. As noted, and quite plain, the fiats were not immediate, or stated as such as with Gen. 1:3. If all was created in the day then why not simply state "And God said, Let the land...

    William Tyndale

    My dear friend Jack Caulfield had preformed his play "Fire for the Ploughman" all over the country. I first met Jack and was so thankful to have seen his play prior to the pancreatic cancer taking his life. Jack's story of his conversion is so fascinating, he also always noted how the Tyndale...
