And no, this was not written by a Christian. It was written by an atheist. There are a number of topics I'd love to discuss here, but read it for yourself first! Link: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/03/what-scares-the-new-atheists

I'm looking to migrate away from Google/Gmail having a monopoly on all of my data. I am not going on a privacy rant, but I would like to split my services up a little bit more so that one company won't necessarily have all of my email preferences and search data. I looked at Hushmail, but I am...

Some friends of ours adopted a little boy (from China) with a cleft palette after God put that calling upon their hearts. Today is the first of what has become a series of surgeries for the little guy, so please keep him in your prayers! Pray that the surgeons will work with precision and that...

This is where being a day behind stinks. Nonetheless, happy now belated birthday to everyone's favorite Super Moderator! We couldn't be here without her, and are grateful for everything (and that's many things!) that she brings to Christianity Board!

Everyone, please welcome justaname to the Christianity Board Moderator team! He'll be helping us out in a couple areas, such as the General Christian Forum with a few other areas to be determined. He is a valued longterm member for almost going on four years now! We look forward to the future...

1 John 4:9 NIV This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. Merry Christmas! It's Christmas Eve here in the states and Christmas already for some of our members. Let us all take the time to truly reflect upon the...

I am normally a fierce defender of paper and books, but I found this article to score some points, particularly in how we've sort of lost a lot of our propensity to be oral cultures much like the ancient Greeks or even how the Bible (both New Testament and Old) would have been passed down...

I'll draw your attention to an article I came across. Do you agree or disagree with this comment, knowing that it was made by the pastor of a church? Source: https://perrynoble.com/blog/ten-convictions-i-have-about-the-church What do you think?

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/14/opinion/sunday/ross-douthat-the-imitation-of-marriage.html I find Douthat to analyze some of these issues from an interesting perspective. We've proclaimed the freedom of sexual expression as a society, but even the facts continue to bear out that the most...

In light of the trend to consolidate accounts and with the continued pervasive usage of social media, Christianity Board now supports both Facebook and Twitter logins for accounts. What this means is that you can now create an account with your Facebook or Twitter login, all you have to do is...

Tony Morgan posted this listicle on his blog today. I realize these listings are often overdone, but I found myself nodding to a couple of these. I further found myself maybe wanting to challenge some of them only to realize that he has a point. Any of these stick out to you...

Our hosting company informed us that they'll be doing some relatively quick upgrades a week from this coming Saturday. The date for the maintence is 12/13. There will likely be in the neighborhood of 10-20 minutes worth of downtime as some software is upgraded and the services restarted. We...

Came across this link during some quick morning reading. The premise is that Christianity is not found in works like The Hunger Games yet this popular book is influencing real world situations like Ferguson and Thailand. I tend to agree that popular level books in the Christian sphere do no tend...

While there is no doubt that things are changing - and rapidly changing at that - here in America when it comes to the Church, I think this article has a bit of a point. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/19/all-aboard-the-uss-persecution-complex.html Normally, I find that Dr...

A number of churches chose to drop their denominational affiliation from their name. This is a notable trend in Baptist circles, although I've noticed it also in Assembly of God, some Churches of God, and a few others. Then it seems that many other churches and denominations, such as most to all...

http://www.biblegateway.com/blog/2014/05/a-summary-of-recent-bible-reading-surveys/ Bible Gateway did a great blog post on a rollup of recent Bible reading survey. All of the trends are pretty much to be expected, but they're definitely alarming in the sense that we are becoming Biblically...

Mothers, thank you for all that you do! Guys, do something special for that lady out there, be it your wife or your mother (or both)! I'm always reminded of Isaiah 66:13 when thinking about moms. God literally said there that he would comfort Israel as a mother comforts her child. Here the...
