CS Lewis on Atheism

Yeah, I know, it’s hard to top a post on Mexicorn but this is not an attempt to do that.
I think Lewis was an atheist himself before his conversion to Christianity, so he might know a thing or two about this particular worldview,
Consequently atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe [...]

Mexicorn

Normally, I don’t get all riled up by things that others might perceive as “offensive” especially when things are said regarding my nationality (Mexican).
Back in college I heard an American openly declare,
If my last name was ‘Sanchez’ I would have gotten a scholarship with my 700 on the SAT
The young man was part of a [...]

The Story of My Life

As the slow march through Paul’s letter to Timothy continues, familiar and extremely personal things are laid out. The Apostle lays out what has been, continues to be, and will continue to be the story of my life,
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me [...]

Does this mean Baseball is evil and should not be tolerated?

Caught this attention grabbing headline on Drudge,
“NY METS FAN BEAT MOM TO DEATH — AFTER TEAM LOST… “
According to the article, Mets fan Michael Anthony was none too happy that his team lost a ballgame. So he did what any human being would do when faced with the outcome of something which will never [...]

Marvin Zindler dead at 85

Houston icon, Marvin Zindler, died today after his battle with cancer. I’ve lived in Houston for 21 years and for this time have enjoyed Zindler’s classic “Slime in the Ice Machine” line not to mention his equally distinctive sign off.
(For you non-Houstonians, one of Zindler’s duties at the local ABC affiliate was to do [...]

Calvin believed in free will? Shocker!

Currently reading R.C. Sproul’s “What is Reformed Theology?” in which he gives an overview of well, Reformed Theology.
The book is fantastic as far as it being a clear explanation of Reformed Theology. Honestly, I have held (hold) to this theology without even realizing it because it seems to be the best interpretation of Scripture. [...]

Should Cement Mixer Trucks be banned in Houston?

Yesterday in our fair city of Houston, there were 2 fatality auto accidents involving cement trucks. The dead motorists’ families of course have to deal with these tragedies, and prayers go out to them during this horrible time.
Seeming how one of the accidents affected many peoples’ drives home (myself included, State Highway 6 was [...]

Animal Cruelty: The Roosters’ turn

It seems that every time a big story breaks on a particularly distasteful topic (animal cruelty), cases involving such brutality come out of the proverbial woodwork.
First Michael Vick and his alleged dogfighting ring, next we heard about 2 teenage girls allegedly setting a kitten on fire and now this:
“Police: Cheering Men Lead To ‘Professional’ Cockfighting [...]

The Emergent Church makes it to Townhall

Townhall.com is the home of some of the better known conservative voices in our country. I visit this website on a fairly regular basis, as a matter of fact I have 5 of their contributors linked in the opinion section down below.
Do I agree with all that is said there? No, for example, [...]

Is The Message sending the wrong message?

Eugene Peterson is a retired pastor/scholar/author who wrote The Message:The Bible in Contemporary Language. We own a copy of Peterson’s popular work and have found it somewhat helpful in our studies.
There has been concern regarding the way Peterson has done his translating, especially from the folks who believe that the King James Version is [...]
