Hauerwas’ Response to Obama’s Oslo Speech
You may remember that I linked to an article yesterday that connected Obama to Cold War Liberal thinking.

Christmas Eve Sermon
I am always interested when pastors put their sermons online, but Adam did something interesting. He put his sermon online before he is going to give it to get feedback. I have really enjoyed reading his sermons in the past and would encourage others to read them as well to help him. It is interesting to see what we could do in this technological age to help one another.

Iraq Hasn’t Gone Away
Fareed Zakaria always provides good context for the ongoing Civil War in this region.
