Many Christians only stress the importance of Bible reading.[i] While that task is important, more should be stressed.  That is, it also matters how one interprets the Bible.  It is often in the task of interpretation that false teaching, heresy, etc., are founded and thus spread.  We at TVN, however, want out readers to be [...]

In 1966 Time Magazine published this cover for all the world to see. The boldness of the lettering set against a black background remarkably parallels the intent of the author of those three little words, Friedrich Nietzsche.

If you are like me then I assume you want to click over to another of your favorite Christian blogs simply to avoid the rather frightening sesquipedalianism plastered across the title of this post.

I recently had a conversation with a self proclaimed “truth seeker” pertaining to the existence of god. His theory is one that falls in line with the pluralistic tide recently sweeping across the nation. This postmodern formulation of god can best be articulated through a commonly known analogy. There are five blind men and an [...]

Caution, this post contains spoilers. Lost is a show that captured an audience for the past six years with an unparalleled ability to create fanatics across the world. It was groundbreaking in the U.S. as one of the most successful television programs that mixed so many nationalities into one story plot. It is also set [...]

I was driving down the road a few days ago with my wife and I noticed a bright red bumper sticker on the back of a hybrid which said, “God is too big to fit into one religion!”  We ended up pulling into the same parking lot and to my dismay parked close together.  I [...]

This post should simply be considered an ‘appendix’ within my last post on ‘The Future of Preaching.’  Here are 2 videos from David Platt that must be watched.  May the future of preaching, our preaching, be paralleled to this kind of preaching instead of fading away into the shadows of a hostile postmodern culture.
