hello?

Just a note to let you know that I’ve temporarily pulled my hugely popular* http://lingalinga.wordpress.com blog off the Net. There’s nothing wrong.

“When I replace the Great Commission with the Great Ongoing Polemic To Prove My Theology Isn’t Wrong, it’s time to pull over and check the map and see if I’m anywhere close to where I think I am.” Michael Spencer at Internet Monk Michael’s article is chock-full of goodies. There are enough spelling and [...]

A very interesting set of photos has been making the rounds showing families from around the world, the amount of food they consume and how much it costs in US dollars. The photos originally appeared in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats by Peter [...]

* Portuguese for “Christianity without the Bible” Image: Due to lack of Bibles, many Mozambican churches, emphasize singing over Scripture reading and preaching. (2000) In July, I had a simple but brilliant idea (I thought). Let’s publish Nyungwe Scripture portions on a single sheet of paper and flood the province with them. In [...]

The image of David ecstatically dancing before the Lord as the ark was brought back to Israel in 2 Samuel 6 inspired me to read 1 & 2 Samuel in order to get some context on the whole story. You have to go back to 1 Samuel. If you start at 2 Samuel 1 you [...]

Unlike Eddie Arthur, who has completely revamped the look of Kouya Chronicle, I have simply changed the header image. For you lazy people that just read this blog through an RSS feeder you might want to click through and check it out. You can also see the other wizbangs and gadgets that I have put [...]
