This 'n that

• The Social Gospel Church. Read a great quote from a solid article by Bill Murchison today (here). It very nearly stood alone as a QotD (quote of the day post). He writes about those churches that have abandoned all semblence of doctrinal coherence for feeding the poor and healing the sick.

"The Peace Corps in ecclesiastical drag is what modern churches often resemble."

Hard to argue that, sir.

• The Right Words. Human Events Online has a caption contest every week. Last week's was a hoot. Here's the photo:
  

And here's the winning caption:

"Pictured here, a committed Socialist who aggressively silences opposition. On the right is Hugo Chavez.”

• God's perspective. Andree Seu wrote a bit about how we ricochet through the tough times in life knowing we don't have God's perspective on it all but wishing we did. Good read and an awesome tie-up at the end. Read it here.


• Film Review: "A Face in the Crowd." We're a Netflix family. It's the only place you can find classic movies in any quantity outside of major cities. So for those of us in small-town America, Netflix! Anway, "A Face in the Crowd" proved a treasure. It's Andy Griffith like you've never seen him and it's a haunting look from 60 years ago at America's hunger for celebrity. It's very intense movie, not suitable for younger children (our teens watched it). No cursing. No flesh. Lots of smoking and drinking. Power corrupts. Watch for other notable actors, too.
  

Well, that's 100 days. Seems like months. Thanks for stopping by.
