What Jesus did not do during his earthly ministry
From the “correcting common misconceptions” files…
Reader input requested! Crazy question of the day…
I’m taking a Greek class next semester that includes memorizing nearly all the vocab in the New Testament. My goal is to use my iPod Touch for my vocab flash cards. I’ve looked at a few apps that do vocab cards, but none specially set for all NT Greek vocab (yep, it’s not the most common college course).
Not all that’s popular is of good quality.
Advice for actors on how not to appeal to crowds:
George Sodini and Limited Atonement
When George Sodini walked into his Pittsburgh gym and opened fire on August 4, killing three women and wounding several others, that was a tragedy. An edited version of his diary over the last year has been released and it is heart-breaking. His bitterness and loneliness escalated through the posts; he never turned to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness and fulfillment he desperately wanted.
Sacred Music & Associations
One thing I love about music discussions is that they’re never controversial. Especially when the discussion focuses on associations for particular songs or artists – then the conversation becomes exceptionally balanced!

This morning, I opened an email entitled “FWD: [Fw:] Fwd: FW: Fw: [FWD:] (maybe a couple more) HB 1388 Passed.”
Time (plus Calvinism) heals all wounds.
But mostly the Calvinism.
Sing a New Song
Is old music better than new music? We all know the joy and freshness of learning a new hymn or hearing a new song of praise, but at other times we feel hesitant and uncertain about being too new or too edgy. Add to the mix the fact that churches and families are made of people with a variety of opinions and ideas about music. It certainly seems like the safe thing to do is just to stick with the old, proven hymns that we’ve been using for years. The safe and easy option, however, is not necessarily best. God teaches us that we should create and sing new songs of worship.
