Blog review: Reforming the Feminine
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007Some of you have picked up on Matt’s appreciation lately for Mark Driscoll’s teaching from Mars Hill Church in Seattle.

John Piper’s Father Passed Away Tuesday Morning
Thursday, March 8th, 2007John Piper’s father passed away early Tuesday morning and he wrote a very heartfelt journal entry about it. It made me weep while sitting in a public space.

Comparisons to other skulls suggest the Romanian skull clearly belongs to a modern human, said paper co-author Erik Trinkaus, an anthropologist at Washington University in […]
Accessibility of Worship Lyrics
Friday, January 5th, 2007Relevintage asks about the wisdom in using worship lyrics containing phrases that would require a large amount of explanation to someone who is not familiar with the biblical concepts they are speaking of. Ie, “God of Jacob..”

Matt Blair
Thursday, May 25th, 2006Today in my daily surfing, I came across Matt Blair, a worship leader/songwriter from North Carolina.

If the Christian faith ever needed a handful of post-modern, […]

Sims said there have been several cases of employers rescinding job offers to student candidates because of information […]
Spam Google Spam Recipies Spam Spam and Spam
Wednesday, January 18th, 2006Gmail has recently added a “Web clips” section to their Webmail (or is that a function of me having google desktop installed?). It usually provides mildly interesting related links associated with your e-mail.
This was hillarious though. As seen while purging my spam folder.
