    II Corinthians 5:8, Philippians 1:21-24

    I heard this voice constantly quoted as support for an immediate entrance into Heaven. The teaching being that as soon as you die your soul goes to be with the Lord. But, after reading the passage for myself and reading it within it's context, how can it be interpreted that way? And even if...

    Why is Rob Bell considered a heretic?

    I picked up a copy of Velvet Elvis expecting to be disgusted. Amongst my Bible believing friends and mentors, he was considered to be humanistic and not Biblical. But, after reading through it, I don't see the problem. Some of his ideas on spirituality go out there a bit, but everything else...

    The Myriad...Anyone?

    Does anyone know who these guys are? They've been sitting behind Radiohead as my favorite band since their first CD, but With Arrows, With Poise has sent them to the top. I got to see them in Phoenix last week and it was great. But, it seems no one knows who they are despite their growing...

    The City

    This is a story I'm writing which may turn into a book, but I don't like to use that word. It kind of scares me a bit. I'm at 6,000 words and still going strong, but so far this is the longest single piece of work I've written yet. The basic idea is just a world like ours only still run by...

    I wrote this poem with my dad in mind. I think he was leaving or in Iraq at the time, or just getting back, I can't remember. But, it was around that time. I was wondering if it needs to be put into some kind of verse or rhyme or if it is fine the way it is. Anything will help, thanks...

    $1 DVD bin at Wal-Mart Favorites

    I'm sure everyone's seen the one dollar dvds being made by Digiview at Wal-Mart or local dollar stores. I'm just curious if anyone has watched them or have any favorites among them. I personally enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes series and the Highwayman and the Lady with Hugh Grant.

    What do you think is the greatest sports movie ever made? In my humble opinion, I don't think anything can match fists with the original Rocky. Maybe Rocky IV.

    Question about Roman Conquest of Greece

    Well, its not really a question so much as it is a cry for help. I'm trying to write a story about Greece defending itself, I'm not sure whether to use The Persian Wars, The Pelopenisian Wars, or Rome's conquest of Greece. I know about the first two, but I really have no information concerning...
