I have to praise God for creating Christianity Board and debunking the myth that only bad things and silicon businesses come from college dorm rooms. My life has changed so much since we launched way back in 2009, but my-oh-my -- God brought this place a very long way from it's humble...

Anyone in a position where they must do a gluten free diet? I have a good friend who has to do one because of a medical condition and I am seeing how difficult it is when it takes away so many typical cheap, convenient, and quick foods!

I saw someone shared this article this morning about a neolithic "cathedral" discovered in Scotland. I personally find it to be a fascinating discovery with some really beautiful work done by peoples of the past, but inevitably my eyes found their way down to the comments area where many people...

http://www.wyff4.com/news/Infant-dies-days-after-Charlotte-worship-leader-family-involved-in-crash-that-killed-brother/33225862 My wife caught this story this weekend. It's terribly tragic and I guess hits home with my own little ones in mind. I do not know these people, but I do know that they...

Just thought this was interesting, because the charge gets levelled a lot that particularly conservative Christians are obsessed mostly with things like sexual issues or moral issues and legislation. This also carries through for Mainliners and Catholics as well...

I think it's easy to pontificate one way or another on the topic, but Ed Stetzer who's pretty fair in this regard, drilled down to some of the takeaways from recent Pew polls: I see this very much in my home state. In the old days, not going to church at least nominally might be enough to...

I'm pondering this question lately as I read Kingdom Come by Reggie McNeal. I'm not here to attack the bride of Christ, but I am here to ponder what we've made church. So, without me sticking my opinion in just yet, how does the Church interact with the Kingdom? Are they the same? Are they...

We're calling a temporary moratorium on new gay marriage threads through the end of the month. There are a couple topics already ongoing related to the issue, so please discuss the topic in there and only in those appropriate threads. Any new threads from this point on will be considered a...

I find this article fascinating. It underscores how nations will use religion to pursue an end, but I think it's also important to note that neither group likely created or heavily influenced the growth of these two schools of thought, if you will. Link...

http://www.faithstreet.com/onfaith/2015/04/28/why-are-americans-so-uptight-about-religion/36752 Okay, so let's get the fundamentalist boogeyman out the way, but in fairness you see this in Mainline, Atheist and other camps as well. I'm not sure it's just those darn fundies again. Good article...

The author beings by discussing the Psalms, and how many of them contain prayers of vengeance and petitions for God to destroy an enemy. As I watched AD:The Bible Continues last night, the episode with Ananias and Sapphira stirred my heart to think along these lines: have we lost the OT picture...

With it being the spring time here in the United States, we thought it worthwhile to begin to take another look at our Christianity Board forum rules to see what we can do to help bring clarity and God-honoring conduct to the community. The team, myself included, noted that we had one area in...

Do you think this is a better picture of the unchurched here in America? http://www.patheos.com/blogs/geneveith/2015/03/who-the-unchurched-really-are/

This one was on FB, caption "What could go wrong?"

If you're interested in geography, mathematics or history, this is pretty darn interesting! http://discovermagazine.com/2014/june/14-the-mapmakers-mystery

Well, I would probably be defined as a Bible App-ophile. YouVersion (I guess now it's called the Bible App) has consistently been my favorite, although I find myself using Bible Gateway on desktop. I've still not really gone heavy on hi-lighting and virtual notes. I still prefer my pages...

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/15/opinion/sunday/the-church-of-ted.html?_r=3 Discuss. ;) The parallels are a bit overt. I definitely sympathize with the author in that the talks themselves are quite evangelical in nature. That said, I'd say rather than likening the talks to an old-fashioned...

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/imagochristi/2015/03/just-me-and-my-bible/ Obviously being a Baptist and running a Christian forum, I see this a lot. I've been guilty of this at times, as well. I tend to agree with the author that even though some maintain, no one reads the Bible without the input...
