If you catch this on New Year's Eve 2014, great. Otherwise, I fear you will miss it Free on Kindle: What if...: How to Kill Worry and Anxiety Before They Kill You! [Kindle Edition] The author,  Caleb Suko , is a missionary to Ukraine The Bible: So Misunderstood It's a Sin BY KURT EICHENWALD / DECEMBER 23, 2014 6:54 AM EST My reaction:  First, the Newsweek piece has an outdated Bible image. Ecclesiastes reads like very old English,  Ecclefiaftes , for example.  Take a look at it yourself and see how unattractive it would be to read a book that you struggled to make out most of the words' pronunciations, let alone a script that is dis-inviting for modern eyes.  Then, right out of the gate, Eichenwald delivers a broad-stroke characterization of Christians that would make straw men feel inadequate by comparison.  To believe the author, we spend all of our time angrily waving our Bibles at passing cars, sp...

There is quite a fascinating juxtaposition of Holy Week and an issue being weighed by the Supreme Court. A former IBM programmer is asking the Supreme Court to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act which passed by overwhelming margins in both houses of Congress in 1996 with Bill Clinton signing the act into law (incidentally, he is now against it). Arguments began in the challenge to California’s Proposition 8 which resulted in the voters putting an end to same sex marriage in the state. All of this is happening on the federal level while Christians worldwide are observing the events surrounding Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection. There have been various reactions to this. To some, the timing is an outrage, to be sure. People are lining up on both sides of the issue and social media is aflame with arguments for and against the expansion of marital rights for same sex couples. Those who embrace Christ as their Savior are divided on the question as well. So, what is a Chr...

Update: The Bible miniseries had an incredible number of viewers -- 14.8 million -- for its season premiere on Sunday, making it the no. 1 cable television event of the year. Read more by clicking here First of all, I would like to say that there was an effort not to provide you with any spoilers in this review. The only thing you will find is a couple of places where the writers decided to ascribe motives for two of the characters. While not telling you what those seemingly plausible motives were, I do tell you who it involves. If that bothers you, don't read on.  The Bible miniseries on The History Channel is a very good series. No expense seemed to be spared for the making of this program. The cinematography, the orchestration, the skills of the actors and the special effects are all superb. Where the series diverges from the biblical account is comparatively minor to other productions. There are scenarios created as to why Lot’s wife would look back at Sodom and...
