The “Emerging Church” or “Emerging conversation” has been generating quite a buzz for the last few years, mostly because some of their ideals and beliefs are not entirely consistent with the bible. Mark Driscoll speaks in his most recent message from Question 2 in the “Religion Saves and Nine other Misconceptions” series titled: “Emerging Church” about his connection (or lack of) with the Emerging Church and how he came to be associated with them in the first place.

We’re still counting down to April and the release of Ben Stein’s new movie, Expelled.  I’m looking forward to seeing this flick, not because I think it’s going to radically change the general thinking of our atheistic society, but because it appears to be an actual thoughtful and relevant look at the real problem at hand… censorship.  In an excerpt from their site it says:

For decades now, Neo-Darwinism has maintained a stranglehold within public education, suppressing all other theories on the origins of life - especially those that hint of a “designer”.

As I take my daily visit through the sites of scholars and pundits it has become increasingly apparent to me that I am constantly finding myself in the position of knowing less and less about the word of God I claim to love. In a recent post by David Alan Black he discussed the importance of personal observation in the learning process by examining his own discovery of the Synoptic Problem. I had heard this discussed before but thought it to be a topic for biblical scholars and mega-thinkers, far beyond my own abilities. I’ve changed my mind.
