What if the “Culture War” Never Happened?

Last updated on: May 31, 2012 at 6:16 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the “culture wars” and their legacy and what damage they have done to the witness of the church. The problem with many of these arguments is not that they’re too critical of the culture war, it’s that they’re not critical enough of the “culture war.” In other words, they accept — lock, stock and barrel — the conceptual construct of the “culture wars” that was developed in liberal lore and passed on...

Jeremy Lin is No Tim Tebow

Last updated on: May 21, 2012 at 5:49 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

The Only Person Who Could Bring Obama and Palin Together

Last updated on: May 21, 2012 at 5:43 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

Yesterday I posted the first portion of the Introduction to Jeremy Lin: The Reason for the Linsanity (now available at Amazon in print and digital versions). Below is the second, middle installment. * INTRODUCTION – SECOND INSTALLMENT * The seven-game winning streak was a vision to behold. Jeremy entered the game and the momentum slowly started to build. The buzz at Madison Square Garden became a roar, and the roar became a riot. By the fourth quarter, Jeremy was punctuating... Read more

LOTD: The Reason Michael J. Fox Agreed to Star in “Teen Wolf”

Last updated on: May 15, 2012 at 9:27 am By Timothy Dalrymple

Matt Drudge has made me (through his frequent links) a regular reader of the Daily Mail, from whence comes this story about a truly disturbing Colombian drug nicknamed “Devil’s Breath.” Apparently Scopolamine keeps you conscious but effectively renders your inhibitions mute: Demencia Black, a drug dealer in the capital of Bogota, said the drug is frightening for the simplicity in which it can be administered. He told Vice that Scopolamine can be blown in the face of a passer-by on... Read more

Chuck Colson and Prison Fellowship

Last updated on: April 23, 2012 at 10:16 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

Note: This is a special essay in memory of Chuck Colson, not the usual “fragment.” * * * The first time I was invited to preach at “Trenton State” (the max-security New Jersey State Prison in Trenton), I was asked if I would tell the story of my broken neck and how God shaped and provided for me through the experience. So I prepared a twenty-minute sermon and arrived early Sunday and went through the security process to enter the... Read more

Daily Fragment: Jesus Doesn’t Want Leaders – He Wants First-Followers

Last updated on: April 17, 2012 at 10:48 am By Timothy Dalrymple

With all the talk in Christian circles about the calling and forming of leaders, you might think that “leadership” was a major theme of Jesus’ teachings. It wasn’t. Jesus never calls for leaders. He calls for followers. Consider this video from Derek Sivers, which he presented at TED: From the transcript: “Being a first follower is an under-appreciated form of leadership. The first follower transforms a lone nut into a leader. If the leader is the flint, the first follower... Read more

Marriage Without Entitlement – Tullian Tchividjian Interview, Part 2

Last updated on: April 12, 2012 at 11:22 am By Timothy Dalrymple

On Tuesday I posted Part 1 (“When Jesus is Everything, There’s Nothing to Fear“) of my interview with Tullian Tchividjian, grandson of Billy Graham and head pastor at the renowned Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Below is Part 2: * * * So our relationship with God in Christ is the “one thing needful,” and you speak of how this liberates us because we don’t need the approval of others. We don’t need anything because we already... Read more
