U.S. Debt Clock

Posted on July 2, 2010 by Jon J. Cardwell

According to www.usdebtclock.org its purpose “is to inform the public of the financial condition of the United States of America…. bringing to the public the most accurate up-to-date debt information possible. The numbers are laid out in such a way to give a complete real-time snapshot of the country’s balance sheet. Although the numbers involved are enormous, it is still easy to see the relative balance between wealth generated and wealth consumed” (online source). Continue reading →

In for a Penny, in for a Pound on the Piper/Warren Kerfuffle – Part Four

Posted on April 6, 2010 by Jon J. Cardwell

In the previous three articles I mentioned that Rick Warren’s theology is utterly and diametrically opposed to mine, and that I wouldn’t invite him to speak in my pulpit. That doesn’t mean that Rick Warren isn’t a sweet guy. He probably is. I’ve got somewhat of a boisterous sense of humor, and I’d probably get along swimmingly with someone with a personality like Dr. Warren’s. Hey, I lived in Hawaii for several years and loved the shirts (in fact, it’s so hot in Alabama right now that I’m wearing a Hawaiian shirt right now… oh yeah— with an electric fan, a fruit drink on the table, and I’m cool as a proverbial cucumber).

A Nickle’s Worth of Opinion on the Piper/Warren Kerfuffle – Part Three

If you haven’t read it yet, you’ll want to read Part One and Part Two of this article, and watch the 4-1/2 minute YouTube video of John Piper explaining why he invited Purpose-Driven® pastor, Rick Warren to the 2010 Desiring God National Conference.

The final reason I would not invite Dr. Warren to speak in my pulpit may seem like a reiteration of the first reason, that his theology is fundamentally and foundationally different from mine; and to an extent it is a reiteration, however, it is more than that. Our theologies are so diverse that I would call the Purpose-Driven® gospel gospel-less, or more accurately and Biblically, “another gospel” (Galatians 1:6-8). Continue reading →
