reaching out without selling out
by Mark Driscoll
I had to resist quoting the entire book here. Mark points out a middle way between sectarianism and syncretism. This involves engaging the culture more than extreme fundamentalists are comfortable with, while also sticking to fundamental doctrines more openly than liberals want to.

This is a great book. Once you get used to his style of prose, he starts really dropping some theology on you, but without you really noticing it... until it's too late :D
It's edgy without falling off the edge. Jesus is the center.

Gmail Browser!
Why?
I had been keeping until a few days ago a separate firefox window just for gmail. But I'm tired of Firefox freaking out and deciding that it only knows the email address that I don't want to use for a contact that has two emails.

I just got a new bible: Journaling Bible.
It's pretty cool... It looks and feels like a molskine notebook down to the bookmark and elastic strap (no pocket in the back though), and has nearly two inches of ruled margin on each page.

The God Delusion is full of bluster and bombast, but it really doesn't give even the slightest reason for thinking belief in God mistaken, let alone a "delusion."
The naturalism that Dawkins embraces, furthermore, in addition to its intrinsic unloveliness and its dispiriting conclusions about human beings and their place in ...
