Are Our Smartphones Killing Us?

Last updated on: November 11, 2013 at 1:57 pm By Johnnie Moore

This is the second post at Philosophical Fragments from my friend Johnnie Moore, the young vice president at Liberty University: * Recently, and for no apparent reason, a man gunned down a random college student in the middle of a crowded rail car in San Francisco. You know what’s even more unsettling? There were no Good Samaritans. According to surveillance video, no one responded when the gunman drew his weapon. In fact, no one noticed at all. All of the...

An Iowa Farm Boy Remembers Halloween

Last updated on: October 30, 2013 at 12:58 pm By Guest Contributor

by Galen Dalrymple I once was an Iowa farm boy, but I’ve not lived there for decades. But once an Iowan farm boy, always an Iowa farm boy, I guess. There is still something wondrous about returning to the land of my roots. My father lies buried in the rich Iowa soil, as do my grandparents and an older sister that I never knew. Memories of an Iowa childhood fill my mind now in the fall of my years. There... Read more

The Benefits of the “Weaker Argument”

Last updated on: October 14, 2013 at 2:06 pm By Guest Contributor

By John W. Morehead One of the things I’m passionate about is my concern about the way in which Evangelicals try to share their heart-felt concerns about their religious convictions with others. Many times it takes the form of sternly presenting the doctrinal propositions of our faith, which seem all too true and reasonable to us, and coupling that with strong arguments, if not attacks against others. In its most extreme forms, this takes place when “street preachers” go to... Read more

Syria, War and America’s Christians

Last updated on: September 16, 2013 at 2:02 pm By Guest Contributor

By Mark Tooley The prospect of U.S. military action against Syria’s dictatorship has unusually united in opposition nearly all U.S. church and major Christian voices who have publicly spoken to the issue. Such uniformity is very unusual, and this episode may be a first. Of course, liberal led Mainline Protestant denominations, along with liberal Catholic orders among others, are functionally pacifist and have opposed virtually all U.S. military actions since Vietnam. Unlike liberal Protestants, evangelical groups and officials don’t... Read more

Should We Save Our Children From the Flames of Hell?

Last updated on: September 11, 2013 at 7:40 pm By Guest Contributor

By Jenell Paris “Being saved is about your whole life, and all the decisions you make each day. You can’t just rest on the fact that you prayed a certain prayer.” So said my childhood friend, now a mother of small children, when I asked whether she is teaching her children to become born-again in the way we were thirty years ago. I’m wondering how to talk about salvation with my own young children. Was “asking Jesus into your... Read more

Out of Africa 6: Looking Homeward and Inward

Last updated on: September 4, 2013 at 6:13 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

By Galen Dalrymple Tomorrow I start my journey homeward to America. It sounds like a foreign land to me now after two months in the bush here in Africa. It is time for reflection, to take stock of lessons learned. What will I carry with me as a result of this journey? Many things, to be sure, but I will mention just a few: First, I have learned that I am not as unprejudiced as I would have liked to... Read more
