This fall the CBS reality TV show Survivor will have its run on the Cook Islands. This time they’ll split up the teams by race. To me, it’s a sign that ratings are waning, yet according to this article it could prove to be marketing genius.
I wonder what the water cooler talk will be like [...]

Jurgen Moltmann’s classic, Theology of Hope is somewhat dated, but I consider it a “right now” kind of book, timelessly relevant for people of faith. I’m only in the introduction and already hooked.  It looks at a world affected by the spread of nihilism and cynicism, where hope is often seen as the fools venture. Our [...]

“When the righteous prosper the city rejoices.”
Tim Keller states the following,
We have a city and they’re looking at the righteous. What kind of church would you have to be so that all the rest of the city is looking at you saying, ‘I don’t believe what they believe but i am so glad they’re here. [...]

Wanted to go simple for a while, which may mean this is a transition template. Thank you Jeremy and DJ for your help with making this switch.

Great story on Billy Graham in the twilight of his ministry. He discusses embracing aspects of the bible as mystery.
Heh. Sounds emergent.

There’s also one on Castro that’s pretty politically incorrect.

It has been Harlem Week for almost 1 month. Not sure how that works….
Living in Harlem for close to 4 years now has been great. We’re located at the midpoint between Spanish & Black Harlem, so we Blatinos (as Liz would say) get the best of both worlds.
When you visit Harlem, you may want to [...]

The new World Trade Center movie with Nicolas Cage received good reviews. Not an event many folks want to relive though.

My sister-in-law Krystal is part of an R&B/Hip Hop group called TRUCE. It’s a Nicky Cruz ministry. For those not familiar with his ministry, he was a former gang member (back in the day), and committed himself to Christ through the ministry of David Wilkerson, former Senior Pastor of Times Square Church in Manhattan.
We’re extremely [...]
