Why do liberal scholars continue to get it wrong about Jesus? Because they refuse to accept the best source for information about Him. This BreakPoint commentary first appeared June 26, 2001. Getting it wrong Eight years ago, a former nun named Karen Armstrong wrote an unlikely bestseller called, A History of God. The book purported to tell readers how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have "shaped and altered the conception of God." Now that book has been turned into a television show -- one that, like the book, manages to get some very important questions very wrong. The Arts & Entertainment network's ...READ FULL ARTICLE » RECENT TOPICS
Bernard of ClairvauxOn Loving God Chuck points us to one of the great saints of the past in this BreakPoint commentary which first appeared in 2008. Twenty years ago, California created a “Task Force to Promote Self-Esteem and Social Responsibility.” It quickly became the butt of jokes: Writer Anne Taylor Fleming called it a “parody . . . born in a hot tub.” California was simply leading where the rest of the culture was headed: Americans consider “self-esteem” as essential for, well, everything. For many, promoting self-esteem is necessary to correct the negative self-image promoted by religion, especially Christianity. They... READ FULL ARTICLE Jesus Shall ReignGlobal Christianity Chuck begins a new series on the nature of Christian faith and the state of the faith in the world. In his book The Clash of Civilizations, Samuel Huntington predicts that demographics will decide the clash between Christianity and Islam. And, as he puts it, "in the long run . . . Muhammad wins out." In this instance, Huntington is wrong. For the foreseeable future there will be many more Christians than Muslims in the world. As Penn State professor Philip Jenkins writes in The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity, predictions... READ FULL ARTICLE WorldViewNo Less Days
When we’ve been there ten thousand years, July 6, 2010. I am waiting for my mother to die. As I was driving to the hospital from home, I meditated on the last line of “Amazing Grace”: “. . . We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise/Than when we first begun.” We live in a world of limitations – a consequence of the curse of sin. The curse of sin limits every area of life—never enough resources, never enough room, never enough time—particularly time. Time tyrannizes ...READ FULL ARTICLE » RECENT TOPICS
The Right WordsA word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver. Proverbs 25:11 It is nearly a hundred degrees today. I am trying to think of a cool topic like the multiple inches of snow we had this past winter. During such long days invariably the television goes on. Many of us remember the classic Claymation version of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” Do you remember the character, Cornelius? I loved this guy. He was the prospector looking for gold and silver. Can you hear Burl Ives singing? Maybe I’m just a soft-hearted fool, but I love getting a quick email from a fellow Centurion,... READ FULL ARTICLE Mature MarriageTherefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. Ephesians 5:31-33 Harold Skimpole is just a child. Or so he would have you believe. Skimpole is a fictional, colorful character in Charles Dickens’ novel Bleak House. A full grown adult, Skimpole describes himself as a man of “no profession whatsoever” who is dependent on the generosity of his wealthy friends for his own survival....

A modern morality tale “This is a story, I supposed, about a failure in intelligence: the Rawlings’ marriage was grounded in intelligence.” So begins Doris Lessing’s 1963 short story “To Room Nineteen” which chronicles the unraveling of Matthew and Susan Rawlings’ marriage and Susan’s eventual suicide.[i] According to the world’s values, the Rawlings have everything anyone could need to be happy: steady careers, plenty of money, a big house, four healthy children, an active social life, and servants who lift the mundane daily chores from Susan’s...

Rescuing the Least of These“Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” Matthew 25:40 Nothing Special In 1982, Thomas Keneally published Schindler’s List, the story of Oskar Schindler, a German war profiteer who first exploited Polish-Jewish workers to make millions, then spent his fortune saving more than 1200 people from the Nazi death machine. Schindler’s story became widely known with the release of Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film – which won seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, despite the objections of some Holocaust survivors that the movie did...

Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You have established the earth, and it stands fast. By Your appointment they stand this day, for all things are Your servants. Psalm 119:89, 90 Still polarizing The question of global warming and the environment continues to be one of the most polarizing topics of contemporary discussion and debate. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has a good many of the “green” party harrumphing and I-told-you-soing; while the opponents... READ FULL ARTICLE |
