Larry Flint Eulogizes Jerry Falwell
You've got to read this to believe it.
Speaks volumes to me about how we can stand by our convictions, and yet not be jerks about it - and how far that goes in building bridges.

Great article by Johnny Mac here about the whole "hey, if it works" attitude that's very prominent in the American/European church today.
Joe Farah smacks back at Hanegraaff RE: the utterly insane contention that America's support of Israel causes terrorism.
Yeah.
And eating Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups (TM) causes global warming.
Anyway, good op-ed...

Great analysis of our Game 6 loss - and actually of the entire Western Conference Finals series - here by Mitch Albom.
The Wings played a mighty impressive third period there.
Unfortuntately, it takes a full 60 minutes of good play to win a game. You really can't expect to pull off a win when you don't show up for the first 40 minutes.
Especially in the Playoffs.
Especially-specially in a do-or-die Game 6 situation.
::sigh::
Well, the Tigers are doing well, and then there's the Pistons.
::double-sigh::
...here's to next year.
What with how so many within and without the ECM are jettisoning the doctrine of the Blessed Hope and placing eschatology on the shelf as de facto "disposable doctrine" in favor of a social gosp-- er, I mean, "social justice"... ahem... I found this article regarding social involvement within a dispensational framework to be very interesting.
Yes, yes, I know. Tommy Ice is the devil. Blah blah blah.
Read the article. It's spot-on.

Calvary pastor Charles Nestor has a book review on Johnny Mac's book The Truth War here.
I absolutely love this quote:
What I don't understand is why people would rather spend so much time trying to be relevant by being ambiguious and doubting rather than being relevant and creative with the life-changing, powerful truth of God and His word.

Important article here, especially in light of the current political situation with Israel and her peace-loving neighbors...
Quickly, because period 2 has started - with the Wings up 2-0 3-0!!!
Great homage to Dr. Jerry Falwell here by Joe Paskewich.
Go read it.
Okay, back to the hunt for Lord Stanley's Cup...
