What an inter­est­ing idea. I like Piper’s ques­tion — espe­cial­ly how he would hope to start by lis­ten­ing. Note that this is from 2009 and is in no way relat­ed to cur­rent events (except that my inter­est in cur­rent events is what prompt­ed me to share it).

If You Had Two Min­utes to Talk With the Pope, What Would You Say to Him?

John Piper says he would talk to the pope about jus­ti­fi­ca­tion.

I have said sim­i­lar things before (both to stu­dents and to young moms). Deal­ing with young kids is tough.

An Encour­ag­ing Word for Moth­ers of Young Chil­dren

Mar­tyn Lloyd-Jones once spoke with a group of med­ical stu­dents who com­plained that in the midst of their train­ing and the fero­cious work hours they real­ly didn’t even have time to read the Bible an.…..

Church­es around the world used 128 songs he wrote or co-wrote last year, Rachin­s­ki said. CCLI esti­mates that every Sun­day in the Unit­ed States, between 60,000 and 120,000 church­es are singing Tomlin’s songs. By extrap­o­lat­ing that data, Rachin­s­ki says, “our best guess would be in the Unit­ed States on any giv­en Sun­day, 20 to 30 mil­lion peo­ple would be singing Chris Tom­lin’s songs.”

What an inter­est­ing way to think about writ­ing short sto­ries.

Reflec­tions on Roger Zelazny

I had a good day pound­ing away at Hawk, and then learned that my short sto­ry, “Play­ing God” has sold to this anthol­o­gy. So, I’m feel­ing pret­ty good, and I’m think­ing about Roger Zelazny, and I’m r.…..

File under “things you did not expect to learn about today” — Between 2002 and 2010, an esti­mat­ed 17 616 patients pre­sent­ed to US EDs with trouser zip injuries to the gen­i­tals. The penis was almost always the only gen­i­tal organ involved. Zip injuries rep­re­sent­ed near­ly one-fifth of all penile injuries.

I have noticed this for years — the media seems blind to the influ­ence of the reli­gious left but is hyper-sen­si­tive to the reli­gious right. It’s espe­cial­ly clear the Catholic church is in view — their voice is wel­comed on immi­gra­tion or the death penal­ty but mar­gin­al­ized on abor­tion and LGBT issues. 

Why Are Anti-Abor­tion Cler­ics Called Theocrats, While Anti-Gun Cler­ics Are Not?

Imag­ine if a group of promi­nent reli­gious lead­ers went to Wash­ing­ton, D.C., to advo­cate against abor­tion. Imag­ine these cler­ics filmed a tele­vi­sion ad in which they made a faith-based appeal for the c…
