As promised, here is the basic info on the release of Collision. There will be a limited theatrical release in New York City and Los Angeles in late October, 2009. There will be a big publicity push around this, but we would still like you to tell all your atheist friends. They all live in …
Black Douglas
The Desiring God folks have some video clips up promoting their national conference, and you can look at them here. The first is John Piper explaining, when he first had the thought of inviting me, why he didn’t lie down with a cold compress on his forehead until the feeling went away. In the second …
For They Do Gender Strife
After sub school, I spent about a year and a half on the USS Tusk, a vintage submarine of the WW2 type. I think it was commissioned the year after the war, but it was that kind of critter. I was just eighteen, full of beans, and had come from a family that placed a …
More Than Usual About CT
I got back late the night before last from the Christian Book Expo in Dallas, where I was participating on a panel that included Christopher Hitchens. Christopher was in fine fettle, and the panel discussion was vigorous — that event should be up on the web at some point. I will point you there as …
Calvin 500
I was pleased and honored to be invited to speak for the national Desiring God conference to be held next fall. I understand that registrations for that conference are now open here. It looks to be about as much fun as Calvinists are allowed by their critics to have. Here is the lineup of speakers: …
Is This the Prayer Request Equivalent of a Bogus 911 Call?
Nancy and I are enjoying the great privilege this weekend of visiting with the good folks at Christ the Word in Toledo, Ohio. Christ the Word is where David Bayly ministers — and what a gathering of warm-hearted Christians. I will be preaching for them on the Lord’s Day, and Nancy is speaking for their …
1975 Was a Good Year
Nancy posted this picture of our wedding on her blog, along with an account of the proceedings. This was thirty-three years ago today, and I continue to be as grateful as a man is allowed to get. I got married at the tender age of 22, and have been married, therefore, for sixty percent of …
Hitchens on CBN
CBN has now posted the half hour show that Christopher Hitchens and I recorded with them in October. A number of clips from this show do appear in the documentary, but the show ought not to be confused with the documentary. The same goes, incidentally, with the debate that occurred at Westminster, which has its …
Not At All C-Spanny
I have had quite a number of debates with atheists over the years, but because of this Collision documentary, this last series of debates with Christopher Hitchens has been the first time I have ever been able to review any of the game footage. And the views on the You Tube trailer are well over …
No Moderator, and We Both Behaved
Just a brief recap of the day — more detailed discussion will occur later. Nate is traveling on this gig with us in order to write short pieces for Christianity Today online, the first of which can be found here. And speaking of CT, it would be appropriate to extend a word of thanks to …
