The disappearing “middleground” and the coming conflict
Denny Burk, Professor of Biblical Studies at Boyce College, tells us that “David Gushee has written a column for Religion News Service arguing that the “middleground” is disappearing on LGBT rights.” Before we get to Burk’s piece, readers should know that David Gushee is a “progressive evangelical” who serves on Sojourners board of directors.

It’s called the “Convergence Music Project,” and it is the brainchild of Emergent/Progressive guru Brian McLaren in collaboration with The Center for Progressive Renewal and the Convergence Initiative.

He still hasn’t found what he’s looking for (Bono meets Eugene Peterson)
The following is posted by Pastor Jim Jenkins over at Herescope: “It’s entirely possible to look at something so long that you can’t really see it anymore. For years I have been calling people back to simple faith in the inerrancy of God’s Word. I’ve been patronized, mocked and more times than not, simply ignored. […]
Multi-site churches, holographic pastors and virtual relationships
Writing for Grace to You, Cameron Buettel examines a “new generation of pastors who can be in two places at one time [by] using technology—high-def videos, and even holograms—to beam their Sunday morning sermons to remote ‘satellite’ churches that belong to their congregation.” We are in the age of the multi-site “church.” Buettel gives Steven […]

Deception Unbounded and Running Amok in the Churches
In this piece Bill Muehlenberg of Culture Watch responds to some of the mail he receives from individuals who write to him that are clearly under demonic deception. “They revel in their rebellion,” he laments, “They have been so deceived by the enemy that the utterly clear and black and white words of Scripture are completely rejected, replaced […]
Does U2’s Bono, a professing Christian, believe the Bible?
Any [teaching] that is good is in the Word of God, and any that is not in the Word of God is not good. I am a Bible Christian and if an archangel with a wingspread as broad as a constellation shining like the sun were to come and offer me some new truth, I’d ask […]
