Quality interweb mischief from Jared Bridges
Since I’ve already blasted Hollywood for its poor lineup of films this summer, I thought that it would be fitting to acknowledge at least a few good DVDs that I’ve seen recently. Antwone Fisher: (6.5 out of 10) This film tackles some really touch issues, and I like the fact that the ending is not … Read more
It’s me, Jared, back at the helm. I hope you enjoyed and were provoked in your thoughts by my wife’s comments below. If any of you have something to say or just rant about, email me and I’ll consider giving you guest blog privileges. Speaking of guests, my wife and I had two rather interesting … Read more
Russell D. Moore has a new article on the Lawrence v. Texas decision that offers an interesting perspective: The gospel of gay liberation is everywhere—and it is increasingly adopted without question. For younger generations of Americans, a traditionalist view of marriage is the moral equivalent of a segregationist view of race relations. Legislation is important, … Read more
Editor’s note: I thought it might be interesting to have a guest blog every once in a while, and today the perfect opportunity arose. My lovely wife Lori was passionately discussing what she heard on the John Ziegler radio show this morning, and I thought she might like to share it with TruePravda readers everywhere … Read more
Granted, I haven’t seen (nor will see) any of these movies, but what’s with the abundance of just plain bad movies this summer? Is Hollywood starving for creativity? I know, I know, it’s just a rhetorical question. Think about it though, why would anyone waste their time and $7.50 to see such fare as Charlie’s … Read more
I suppose it’s time to write something about the recent US Supreme Court decisions. The high court of the land has in the past week ruled in favor of affirmative action (state-sanctioned racism) and now has stuck down laws against sodomy. Regarding the affirmative action ruling, the court has sent minorities back a few steps … Read more
Feminism has certainly diminished (or has attempted to diminish) the position of the stay-at-home mother. Feminists have deplored those who give up careers to raise their children, as F. Carolyn Craglia has so vividly unpacked for us in Domestic Tranquility. But now it seems that in some circles the role of the stay-at-home mom has … Read more
If you haven’t yet read about the Maryville, TN church that is being sued for $2 million for an incident involving a “persecution simulation” event with their youth group, here is a good summary. After reading it, read the Maryville Daily Times article, which is more in-depth. First of all, it’s difficult to make a … Read more
Mel Gibson’s upcoming film about the passion of Christ is coming under intense scrutiny–and the controversy is not even about Gibson’s decision to do the film entirely in Latin and Aramaic. Gibson is being criticized that grusome crucifixion scene will stir up anti-Semitism. Why? Apparently it is because Jesus’ executioners are Jewish in the film. … Read more
For those who think that the Old Testament of the Bible is about wrath, while the New Testament is about grace, Deuteronomy 9 stands to be reckoned with. Here the Israelites are on the brink of entering the promised land, and Moses is giving them the magnum opus of all sermons. What is more than … Read more
