Notes-From-Offcenter has a good post concerning the decline of value/virtue in the academy in the wake of rationalism's dogmatic fantasy for fact. You can READ HERE.
A side note: also from Creedal standpoint a great read is a short book by one Charles Habib Malik called "A Christian Critique of the University." I found this book particularly helpful and deeply affective. Also, I always recommend John Henry Newmans "Idea of a University."

David Berlinski, a brilliant mathematician and scientist, has published a new work with a chiding title. His new book, The Devil's Delusion plays off the title of Richard Dawkins scathing assessment of Religion in The God Delusion. Read about the work at Random House's website.

Take this to heart and hear. Inhabitatio Dei has posted a brief but convicting blurb. I could not have said it better, but what he says scares me, because I fear what he speaks of is true of me. I have fallen victim and been deceived to loving the thing rather than the reason for the thing. God make in me a new heart.

I chased some steers this weekend. Its on youtube. You can watch it here.

  Kevin,                                                               At this time I believe it is necessary that I inform you of what is going on internally. As a high school boys soccer coach I learned that you want team captains who are fully dedicated to the team’s success. If they aren’t, the entire team struggles to reach its goals.  While I am part of the FBBC team, I believe I am lacking in this desired leadership quality myself.  After seven full months in my current position, I do not believe my passions are managing money for the church. As a result I do not have internal peace about the longevity of my current position. I believe there are better people for this role. I believe FBBC would be a stronger organization if a person more suited for this role were here. I c...

Come quickly.

Advent is something new to me. Sadly, the tradition I grew up in selectively ignored church traditions and events which regarded adhering to the liturgical Church calender. Pure religion throws off old stuffy tradition because it wasn't from the heart, or at least that's what I was told. Well, here I am, 27 years of church later and this is the first year that I will consider Advent leading up to Christmas. I was particularly moved by today's reading according to the Revised Common Lectionary out of Psalm 40. Psalm 40:11-13 (TNIV) pierced me deeply, as an arrow through the heart. It reads : 11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, LORD; may your love and faithfulness always protect me. 12 For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me. 13 Be pleased to save me, LORD; come quickly, LORD, to help me. When I often think of t...
