The long-term cultural implications of the choice of Palin

noreply@blogspirit.com (Danny Wahlquist) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 09:19:27 -0500

"The choice of Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate has all sorts of interesting political implications, which are being diced and parsed as I write. But I’m more interested in the long-term cultural implications of the choice of Palin, whether the McCain–Palin ticket wins or loses in November, for one of the most vexing horizons of impossibility in our culture: the abortion rate among unborn babies diagnosed with Down Syndrome."

Has the Family Tomb of Jesus Been Found?

noreply@blogspirit.com (Danny Wahlquist) — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 21:51:16 -0500

"The presentation on Sunday is called “Has the Family Tomb of Jesus Been Found?” This is certainly to be discussed at the water coolers on Monday. And you as a Christian should be ready with some reasoned questions of your own (asked in the right spirit). So join me for this special message in our series on Tough Questions – Honest Answers. And please pray for wisdom and insight for me as I prepare."

Google Maps Is the New Bible Atlas

noreply@blogspirit.com (Danny Wahlquist) — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 13:23:46 -0500

"BibleMap.org integrates Google Maps and the ESV text to create an interactive Bible atlas.

You browse to a chapter in the Bible, and all the place names are links. Click one of the names to go that place on the map. Then click the pushpin to show some background information on the place."

The DNA of Relationships by Gary Smalley

noreply@blogspirit.com (Danny Wahlquist) — Fri, 18 Aug 2006 11:33:54 -0500

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and the many examples included.
The DNA of Relationships is
1. You are made for relationships.
2. You are made with the capacity to choose.
3. You are made to take responsibility for yourself.
Each of these is obvious, but we need to be constantly reminded.
I particularly enjoyed his discussions on the fear dance.

"In this new era, our challenge is to harness the power of science to ease human suffering without sanctioning the practices that violate the dignity of human life," Bush said in the East Room of the White House after vetoing the measure.
