Take a Quiz on Global Christianty!!

Last updated on: December 31, 2011 at 7:57 am By Tim Suttle

The pew research forum does a ton of research on Christian demographics. One of their recent studies was a worldwide census of Christians; where do they live, how is the population distributed, things like that. I was reading the numbers and thinking that some of this information really surprised me. Americans know so little about the rest of the world! (and our own world to be honest). So, here’s a little 10 question quiz to see how much you know... Read more

Westport Church Fire

Last updated on: December 30, 2011 at 7:50 am By Tim Suttle

I’m praying for my brothers and sisters at Westport Presbyterian Church today. They lost their building in a fire last night. The building was over 107 years old. I can’t imagine what they are dealing with this morning. Think about pastor Scott Myers and his congregation today. Read more

NY Times Book Review: What Literature Owes the Bible

Last updated on: December 30, 2011 at 6:48 am By Tim Suttle

Just before Christmas the NY Times book review was on a book we’re all familiar with: The Bible. Marilynne Robinson, author of the Pulitzer Prize winning novel Gilead penned the interesting article which was subtitled “What Literature Owes the Bible.” Here basic thesis was that the bible has made an unparalleled contribution to the wide world of literature. The reason this is so, Robinson says, is that the Bible asks the tough questions and attempts to construct a coherent answer.... Read more

From Farewell Rob Bell to Rob Bell’s Farewell

Last updated on: December 29, 2011 at 7:09 am By Tim Suttle

This was one of the biggest stories of the Christian world in 2011. Rob Bell wrote a book called Love Wins, for which he took an unending amount of crap from far too many smug, self-assured, self-proclaimed biblical scholars who – although far too many still haven’t even read the book – tried their best to skewer him. John Piper’s famous tweet “Farewell Rob Bell,” was the beginning of the criticism and, in truth, it still hasn’t stopped. Never mind... Read more

Is the GOP Losing Faith?

Last updated on: December 26, 2011 at 6:18 pm By Tim Suttle

Here is the 2nd installment of my series for the Huffington Post comprising an evangelical Christian’s take on the major players in the 2012 election. I had a hard time writing this, to be honest. It was a fun but difficult practice to come up with something to say. More than anything I hope that Christians everywhere will begin to cultivate Christian identity as supreme over and against any other sort of affiliation – especially when it comes to American...

Don’t Be an Idiot

So Christmas is upon us & that means we’ll be spending time with family and friends. We’ll have some extra free time on our hands and we’ll be looking for ways to use it. I think this short clip is a great and timeless reminder for us all. If only we could all follow Michael & Dwight’s advice for the next week or two – I think we’ll have a Merry Christmas! Just a reminder – Christmas Eve services at... Read more

Daniel Kirk’s New Book

Last updated on: December 22, 2011 at 8:16 am By Tim Suttle

When I read the gospels I am undone by the stories Jesus tells; stories which have worked their way deep down into my soul and have produced in me an allegiance to the teachings of Jesus, and deep down conviction that following his teachings is the best way to be a human being in the world. It has always been this way for me. When I read Paul, I generally had a completely different experience. Paul would always frustrate me.... Read more

SNL: Jesus asks Tebow to take it down a notch

Last updated on: December 21, 2011 at 7:53 am By Tim Suttle

SNL did a hilarious Denver Broncos locker room skit a while back, you can click on it below. Here are a few thoughts about Tim Tebow… Does God really care about sports? Does God get involved in sporting events when people pray for a win… people who are participating, watching on TV, or who have a little bit of cash riding on the game? I read an interesting FaceBook exchange the other day from a teenage girl who was claiming... Read more

Matt Damon as Santa Claus… sort of

Last updated on: December 20, 2011 at 9:23 am By Tim Suttle

This video is pretty funny. Matt Damon demonstrates for us how difficult it is for those who are trying to learn what it means to give our best for the poor. I love how celebrity holds no status for kids! They are really not interested in it! My personal favorite is when the kids says he knows who Ben Affleck is. A close second is when the little girl is faced with the choice between a plain water bottle, or... Read more
