Have you read and signed the Manhattan Declaration yet? (This is an important document.) You can spread the word by retweeting this post or sharing it on facebook.

This fall, my book Think Christianly: Looking at the Intersection of Faith and Culture, will be releasing by Zondervan in which I lay out our biblical responsibility as Christians to engage culture well. I highlight examples, issues, and areas we must engage because they are cultural moments and we are to be everyday ambassadors. Here is a short video about it:



“The task of this generation – as it will be in every generation – is to understand Christianity as a complete view of the world and humankind’s place in it, that is, as the truth. If Christianity is not the truth, it is nothing, and our faith mere sentimentality.”–Chuck Colson

If Christianity is true, then it speaks to every area of life

“If Christianity should happen to be true – that is to say, if its God is the real God of the universe – then defending it may mean talking about anything and everything. Things can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is false, but nothing can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is true.” – G.K. Chesterton

How Technology is Influencing Families

Technology and media are everywhere. And it is not without effects. There is a new Barna study out that talks about this. Here is an excerpt:

Very few adults or youth take substantial breaks from technology.

Americans’ dependence on—what some might call addiction to—digital technology is apparent in the study’s findings. One out of three parents and nearly half of 11- to 17-year-olds say there are not any specific times when they “make the choice to disconnect from or turn off technology so they can have a break from it.” And those who take such breaks tend to be driven by convenience rather than intentionality. For example, only 10% of parents and 6% of teenagers say they try to take off one day a week from their digital usage.

This reliance translates into some interesting behaviors and habits. Nearly half of both parents and teens said they emailed, texted or talked on the phone while eating in the last week. Two out of five youth and one-third of parents have used two or more screens simultaneously during this time period. And half of students and one-fifth of parents have checked email or text messages in bed in the last seven days. The question arises whether families are in control of their technology or being controlled by it. (read the rest)

Living well flows from thinking well

“Your intellectual life is important . . . for the simple reason that your very character, the kind of person you are and are becoming, is at stake. Careful oversight of our intellectual lives is imperative if we are to think well, and thinking well is an indispensable ingredient to living well.” – Jay Wood

How should we engage those who don’t believe in God or may even be hostile to what we believe? What should our attitude and approach be? (1 Peter 3:15)
