I would like to interrupt with a brief commercial on this strategic day, December 6, 2007, in LDS political history.

If you are like me, one who dislikes both beer and coffee . . . (in fact, I don’t even like the smell) . . . (and I must add that all my friends are laughing at me) . . .

Let me recommend to you one of the best drinks in the country:

Stephen’s Gourmet Hot Chocolate in Farmington, Utah.

It is the best drink you can enjoy this Chrismas season.  For Hot Chocolate lovers, this is the business that you need to tap into!

And well done, Governor Mitt Romney, for the stirring patriotic speech. 

May God bless America.  (Our church family in Ammon, Idaho prays for this weekly.)

FAIR just put this on their website last week.

May I ask some questions for Blake on this thread?

Bob Bixby has shared an interesting interview with expert missiologist, Dr. Hesselgrave.

“Stay Fundamental.”

My undergrad degree was Cross-cultural Christian Missions.  I cut my missiological teeth on Hesselgrave’s books.

John Morehead, a professor at Salt Lake Theological Seminary and author of a cross-cultural mission blog, has read Hesselgrave, too.  But we have yet to explore more where we see eye to eye on key issues. (more…)

I came across LDS Doug Towers’ recent post on his blog about Protestant ministers and their belief in Scripture. (more…)

This is the discussion between Bob (red ink) and me (black ink).In Bokovoy’s response to Heiser, he interacts with Genesis and uses authors and Aramaic targums that I don’t know.  I would like to share with you quickly these excerpts and authors and then ask:  1.  Are you familiar with these authors?  2.  Who would be the contemporary O.T. scholars providing contrary viewpoint to what these critics propose?  thanks.

I am just lifting Bokovoy’s quotes from his paper that deal with Genesis and these authors. (more…)

This church blog has been in the works.  We will be doing lots of fine-tuning.

But posts will be coming regularly from various brothers and sisters in our church family.  Sister Marilyn speaks today.  And this gifted sister will write frequently.

This blog won’t deal with Mormonism like HI4LDS.  But it will open up a whole new different environment through a unique window.

Tell me what you think.  The “Always the Word” link in the sidebar of HI4LDS will be your link from here to this new literary adventure.

It’s Monday.  The day after a glorious Lord’s Day here in Ammon, Idaho.  And I have several posts, today, that I want to offer to readers for the beginning of the week.

First, it has been an adjunct professor for a reformed Presbyterian seminary, who responds to evangelical / LDS dialogue.

Now, it is the Reformed Baptist Thinker, John, at his new ministry website. (more…)

The blog, Mormon Mentality, provides an interpretation on this question asked to Republican candidates last night. (more…)

Evangelicals are discussing this.  Rob Bowman followed by Justin Taylor.

And yes, it is always frustrating and messy when we delve into this.

But Christianity Today shouldn’t have censored Rob.  Good grief.
