The Christmas Message

Last updated on: December 17, 2012 at 1:41 pm By Bill Blankschaen

I sat on a hillside one chilly night, out in the country where the darkness blankets the earth like a woolen comforter. Away from the city. No noise. No bustle. No blue-light specials or Black Friday deals. Just silence. Darkness. And stars. Lots of stars. And as I shivered in the dewy grass that eve, I imagined what that night must have been like, that night when that shepherd became the first to visit the newborn Jesus. Oh, I know,... Read more

Same-Sex Marriage Battle: The Consequences of Surrender

Last updated on: November 29, 2012 at 10:05 am By Bill Blankschaen

Tim Dalrymple offered an intriguing question for discussion at Patheos this week. It’s timely, relevant, and, to some, quite disturbing. He asked: Is it time now, or might there come a time soon, when evangelicals should decide that the cost of carrying on the battle against same-sex marriage is simply too high? On the one hand, I tend to side most easily with Owen Strachan’s responsive call here at Patheos (thoughtlife) to get back to our posts amid the disarray of a cultural... Read more

Self Esteem Test: How Would You Describe Yourself in Just One Word?

Last updated on: November 28, 2012 at 8:15 am By Bill Blankschaen

Annoying. My six-year-old son recently began describing himself with that one word — annoying. He took some pride in it, in fact. Maybe it was because he’d been watching Dennis the Menace a few times too many. He does resemble Dennis a bit, come to think of it. More likely it had more to do with his siblings labeling him as just that on far too many occasions. You’ll be happy to know he has now switched to another, more fitting word —... Read more

Christmas Shopping: How Much Is Too Much ?

Last updated on: November 27, 2012 at 10:14 am By Bill Blankschaen

The recent rush of Christmas shopping has left me wondering how much is too much? It also reminded me of a story from Tolstoy that I read as a young boy. Yes, I was the nerdy kid reading War and Peace at the video arcade. But that’s not the point. Tolstoy told the tragic tale of Pahom in the short story “How Much Land Does a Man Need.” Pahom discovered a place where he could have all the land he wanted —... Read more
