The Hinge of History
All historians must confess that the turning point of the race is the cross of Christ. It would be impossible to fix any other hinge of history. From that moment the power of evil received its mortal wound. It dies hard, but from that hour it was doomed. – Charles H. Spurgeon

Brit Hume draws fire commending Christiantiy to Tiger Woods
How cool! USA Today make’s Brit’s point by quoting a Boston University professor… Praise God we have an accountant in the sky wiping sins off the balance sheet!!

Tim Keller: The Dogmatic Nature of Relativistic Thought

Buddy Christ Takes a Back Seat
Mockingbird did a great take on the Buddy Jesus concept… including a wonderful video with George Carlin. The book they’re reviewing is “Your Jesus is Too Safe: Outgrowing a Drive-Thru, Feel Good Savior”.
One of the quotes that I appreciate is this:
“Not only does he identify himself as the Good Shepherd who sacrifices himself for the [...]
No Regrets on Your Death Bed
“No man ever said, at the end of his days, ‘I have read my Bible too much, I have thought of God too much, I have prayed too much, I have been too careful with my soul.’”
