This week, our guest is Pastor Dean Good of Grace Church, North Olmsted, Ohio, who joins us to discuss the mission and spirituality of the Church, and the ways in which many in the churches (including evangelicals) are being subtly misled to embrace unbiblical forms of mission and spirituality.

The "undprecedented" disappearances happened on 5 June and 10 June, hitting control rooms in Austria and neighbouring countries.
The relevant EU agencies have been asked to investigate, Austria's flight safety organisation said yesterday.
I was in my car a few nights ago and I heard a pompous asshole, Max Boot, on NPR, introduced as an Iraq expert-- he was an advisor on Iraq to McCain and Romney's failed presidential campaigns. I wanted to write down the load of crap he was spewing about how Obama is "losing" Iraq and I was especially eager to try to remember the nonsense he was babbling about how the Sunnis and the Shia get along so well. But I couldn't remember and I just let it pass-- until Thursday night, when Chris Hayes played the above compendium of McCain's colossal wrongness on Iraq.
“The Boston subway ads simply state the facts and are backed up with citations from credible human rights and international organizations, including the United Nations,” said Chadi Salamoun, the president of Ads Against Apartheid, who added that “if the ads are shocking, that’s because the reality on the ground is shocking.”
Rarely do you get a chance to ask a just-retired FBI director whether he had “any legal qualms” about what, in football, is called “illegal procedure,” but at the Justice Department is called “parallel construction.” Government wordsmiths have given us this pleasant euphemism to describe the use of the National Security Agency’s illegal eavesdropping on […]
The Caucus family treeby KenI've made no secret of the fact that of all the Doonesbury characters, it seems to be Joanie Caucus who exerts the strongest pull on me, and one thing that the apparently unending world of Doonesbury weekday reruns archival flashbacks has made possible for us is to revisit the long path Joanie has traveled, from her flight from an abusive husband to the position of day-care provider for the Walden Commune on up to her coming out of retirement to join

"Ooh, gotcha!" apparently thought once and would-be-future Sen. Scott Brown. "Bitch'll never know what hit her!" Maybe, maybe not.by KenNormally the modern blood sport of "gotcha" politics thrives on ignorance and stupidity, a perfect match for the virtually achieved right-wing dream of an electorate -- and a snoozemedia gang -- dominated by people with absolute-zero functional IQs (fIQs).
The capture of Mosul by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis) means a radical change in the political geography of Iraq and Syria. It is not just in Iraq that the balance of power is changing. The Iraq-Syrian border no longer exists for most practical purposes. In Syria Isis forces will become vastly more powerful because the movement can draw on fighters, weapons and money from its newly conquered territories in Iraq.
Well wasn't that "unexpected" attack on Mosul very fortuitous for NATO's designs on Syria?Of course, I am being facetious. If you can't get to your destination via one path there are many other roads that can be travelled

TweetThe man who thinks he is king, Obama, has sent a private envoy to Egypt to threaten the newly elected President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Reporting from inside Egypt, those close to President el Sisi leaked the news that Obama had sent a private messenger to meet with President el Sisi and demand that Egypt support the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya and support the illegitimate government in Libya now controlled by radical Islamists and Muslim Brotherhood. This demand came with a threat to do it or else!

Yet another scandal has engulfed the Obama administration, as the President has come under fire for his prisoner swap that secured the release of the only US POW remaining in Taliban custody.
However, the real scandal is not whether Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is a hero or a traitor, but rather the fact that the US – purportedly the “land of the free” – detains prisoners indefinitely, denying them any legal process.

Liberals and environmentalists would do well to take on board the categorical imperative of climate policy from a conservative point of view, namely, that whatever policies are developed, they must be compatible with individual liberty and democratic institutions, and cannot rely on coercive or unaccountable bureaucratic administration. – Steven Hayward
Rik received his doctorate from Exeter University by giving the students the best lesson they'd had in three years - his five principles for living a good life. They are profound. They get the priorities sorted, cut through all the bullshit and fly right to the core of what every young person setting out into the 'nasty, sexy' world needs to know. All in Rik's inimitable style.
