I’m sure many of you have received the forward or otherwise been pointed to the video detailing the demographics and the rise of Islam. So how do we react to this?
First, let’s not overreact. Remember demographics are an interesting study and useful for many things, but demographics can be twisted and their predictions are limited. [...]

How many forwards have you gotten before that include church signs? I especially appreciated the one that supposedly showed the debate between two churches in a Southern town concerning the question of whether or not dogs go to heaven.
Apparently that little exchange was an invention which I’m both sad (it is kind of funny) and [...]

Have you ever read the forward about laminins? They’re kind of a natural glue that holds the body together and they happen to form a shape that’s of great significance to Christians. Check it out.

A long time ago I received this forward.
This is one of those forwards that brings us into an interesting tension. It’s the tension of the two kingdoms, of God being ruler over both the Church and the whole world/civic realm. He rules both in different ways, yet is Lord of both.
So how do we deal [...]

Have you ever heard of the Miracle Staircase of St. Loretto? Check out this video which I received as a forward recently.
It’s definitely itriguing, but are you curious to know more?
Well, not all the details are clear, but with a little research I found out that there’s kind of a mixed bag associated with this one. [...]

I regularly receive forwards that include little Christian cartoons. Some poke fun at the idiosyncrasies of life within the church. Others insert funny quips into the mouths of famous Bible characters.
Some though, are trying to do something a little more serious. They are directed at making a person rethink a piece of their faith. I [...]

I’ve had a couple of people forward me a story about a Cherokee male’s rite of passage.
It’s an interesting forward. It’s one of those where you wonder if it’s true or not. From the research I did, I couldn’t find anything to verify it as a real Cherokee initiation ritual. The one source that seemed [...]

Have you heard about the man who built Noah’s Ark? For a short video and entertaining interview with him check this out.
I have to admit, when I first got the email, I wondered if it was one that had been exaggerated. Snopes didn’t answer my question, but when I read news stories at BBC.com and [...]

Ok, so here’s a forward that really pushes a person and forces us to ask some hard questions.
In all honesty, sometimes I kind of resent forwards like these. They’re so confrontational and ask us to get into hypothetical or night unrealistic situations.
But during my devotions today, I was reading something by a Daniel T. Niles [...]

This week’s forward isn’t one with a true story attached. Instead it’s one of those with a nice little twist at the ending. Have you ever felt like you keep working on something and don’t see the result? Have you ever wondered why God is putting you through something? This forward offers some encouragement.
