A story on The Tennessean website this afternoon had quite a few folks in the newsroom pointing me in that direction. A group of church members at Two Rivers Baptist Church wants to get rid of senior pastor Dr. Jerry Sutton. The group has made allegations of inappropriate spending [...]
"If we partner with the faith community, the lack of trust the community has for the criminal justice system will be overcome by the abundance of trust the community has for the leadership of the faith community."
Doug Weiner has a lot of faith, in a program called "Safe Surrender". Used [...]
People like Ben Poor make me feel guilty. When I was a college student I spent my summers having fun. Ben is thinking of others.
A student at Ball State University in Indiana, Ben decided to do something to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. He thought he'd go [...]
I was on the field this morning when the guy on stage at "The Call" asked everyone from Nashville to stand up. Glancing around the folks on the field, at least in my range of vision, I could have counted them all on one hand.
Nashville folks seem [...]
Just flew in from upstate NY. Lots to do today so I won't spend too much time here this morning.
As we reported before I left for vacation (or holiday for you Brits), 100,000 people are expected at LP Field Saturday for "The Call", a day-long event for prayer and fasting. [...]
You probably haven't heard much about "The Call" being held at LP Field July 7th. Unless you read newspapers from other cities.
As many as 100,000 people are expected to be at LP Field 07-07-07 for nothing more than prayer and fasting. No big name bands or evangelists are on the [...]
The new Tom Cruise movie will have to find another place to shoot. Germany has banned the makers of the film from working there because Tom is a Scientologist.
Germany's Defense Ministry explained that since Cruise is a Scientologist and since Germony doesn't recognize it as a church, Cruise cannot film [...]
A fascinating article in The New York Times on jihad etiquette. "The Guidebook for Taking a Life", according to fundamentalist militant Islamists.
The article, delves into what the Koran teaches when it comes to killing the enemy, lying to the enemy and when innocent bystanders happen to be killed, when that's [...]
Good news for the folks in Murfreesboro with tickets to Sunday's taping, or filming of The Apostles of Comedy: it is really funny.
I took my wife and kids to the show Saturday night at Belmont and to be perfectly honest with you, I didn't know how funny this show was [...]
"Is it harder to be funny when you don't use offensive language or subjects?"
That's the question I've asked comedians Jeff Allen and Brad Stine, two members of the forthcoming comedy tour "The Apostles of Comedy".
Both...say no, it's just as easy to be funny without the vulgar language as it [...]
The Colorado Coalition of Reason produced a video late last year on atheism or non-theists, people who do not believe in God or a Supreme Being.
The low-budget video shot in a public school features an atheist who explains why she believes as she does, or doesn't believe as she does. [...]
"The Apostles of Comedy" will be filming a new full-length motion picture this weekend in Nashville, and I've got your tickets.
Borrowing from the success of "The Blue Collar Comedy Tour" and "The Original Kings of Comedy", "The Apostles of Comedy" is a new national tour and motion picture [...]
Sleazy headline, I know.
But if you saw the survey that came out a few weeks ago about porn usage among people in the church pews, you might cut me some slack. 50% of church going men say they struggle with a porn addiction. If you're a man in church [...]
That's what some inmates refer to as going to prison ministry Bible studies, saying the right things, meeting with the chaplain and hoping they'll get a good word to the warden about the "changed man" behind bars.
Wilson County chaplain Leonard Diebold says he's well aware of the motivation behind the [...]
If you read many of the Baptist blogs out there, you'll get pretty confused over what Tuesday night's vote on the Baptist Faith and Message means.
I hoped to do the story justice Wednesday by talking with a conservative pastor, a moderate Baptist pastor and Robert Parham, a frequent critic of [...]
Howard Dean told Democratic fundraisers last night that for them to win next fall, they must, MUST get the votes of evangelical Christians.
But don't expect the party to change its platform to pro-life/anti gay marriage to get those votes. They may not need to.
Dean told more than 500 supporters in [...]
