A wandering eye over religion, politics, and other important matters. Monday, March 30, 2009. Reader's guide: in defense of the church.

The Spyglass: Nitric grace
http://the-spyglass.blogspot.com/2011/02/nitric-grace.html
A wandering eye over religion, politics, and other important matters. Monday, February 14, 2011. The gospel of grace is a universal acid that dissolves all the pretensions, presuppositions and preferences of this world order. If you're not feeling it burn, you're probably not preaching Jesus. Posted by Rob Harrison. Categories: Religion and theology. Good comment although if youre looking for a more universal acid I would go with Aqua regia instead of nitric acid.

Quaestor Fidelis: March 2010
http://qfeed.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Potent Quotables (updated periodically). If you like sausages and laws, you should never watch either one of them being made." - Otto von Bismarck. God who gave us life, gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever." - Thomas Jefferson. Friday, March 26, 2010. Presi...

The Spyglass: Reader's guide: posts on faith
http://the-spyglass.blogspot.com/2009/04/readers-guide-posts-on-faith.html
A wandering eye over religion, politics, and other important matters. Tuesday, April 07, 2009. Reader's guide: posts on faith. Keeping faith in mind. Is it a choice between brains and belief? A matter of trust. Do we really believe God knows and wants what's best for us? Thoughts on the nature of Christian faith. Flannery O'Connor was right: it's harder to believe than not to. For a 90° turn: meditation on faith and reason. Learning from St. Augustine. We're wired to believe. Posted by Rob Harrison.

The Spyglass: De profundis

A wandering eye over religion, politics, and other important matters. Wednesday, May 11, 2011. Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord! O Lord, hear my voice. . . . I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,. And in his word I hope;. My soul waits for the Lord. More than watchmen for the morning,. More than watchmen for the morning. Lord, be . . . Lord, be peace to calm the storm. Lord, be enough, for I am not enough. Lord, be strength to bear these burdens. Lord, be wisdom to mend my folly. Please . . . 8221; G...

The Spyglass: God is in the real
http://the-spyglass.blogspot.com/2010/12/god-is-in-real.html
A wandering eye over religion, politics, and other important matters. Wednesday, December 15, 2010. God is in the real. I was reminded today of an observation I ran across somewhere—unfortunately, I have no idea where or whom to credit, and I know I won't be able to put it as elegantly as the original—that has been very helpful to me. God promises to give us everything we need to face every trial he sends us. He does not. Posted by Rob Harrison. Categories: Religion and theology. December 16, 2010 8:07 PM.

Green Piece: Dinesh D'Souza vs Daniel Dennett
http://green-piece.blogspot.com/2007/12/dinesh-dsouza-vs-daniel-dennett.html
The simple musings of a man who thought he knew everything . . . Monday, December 17, 2007. Dinesh D'Souza vs Daniel Dennett. If you want to see a great debate by a brilliant Christian mind, please watch the following debate at the YouTube address below. Absolutely fantastic! Dinesh D'Souza is able to articulate some great points. I suggest checking it out. I don't necessarily agree with D'Souza on everything, but I think you will find it highly enlightening.

A wandering eye over religion, politics, and other important matters. Sunday, September 07, 2008. May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering! I just realized, I hadn't remembered to post this. It's a powerful little clip (less than two minutes), and truly, as Jared says. A vivid picture of gospel-driven living. Posted by Rob Harrison.

The Spyglass: Reader's guide: posts on grace
http://the-spyglass.blogspot.com/2008/12/readers-guide-posts-on-grace.html
A wandering eye over religion, politics, and other important matters. Tuesday, December 02, 2008. Reader's guide: posts on grace. Was that about grace? One of the biggest mistakes we can make is to forget the difference between grace and justice, and start to imagine that we have. 1 Timothy and the misdirected conscience of the West. The word "gospel" means "good news," and the gospel of grace truly. Good news . . . but we often don't. It as good news, because it isn't what we want to hear. We're all pro...

The Spyglass: Impertinent question of the month
http://the-spyglass.blogspot.com/2010/12/impertinent-question-of-month.html
A wandering eye over religion, politics, and other important matters. Thursday, December 30, 2010. Impertinent question of the month. When people find out my wife and I have just had a son after three daughters, most of the time we get some form of the same basic reaction: "Oh, so you kept trying until you had a boy, huh? Though I will say, it's nice to have a baby sleeping on my shoulder again. Posted by Rob Harrison. Loved the thoughts here. December 31, 2010 8:52 AM. December 31, 2010 12:05 PM. Conser...
