sexfest at church
by Zach Kincaid
Sexfest at church. Why not? God said he’d supply our needs in great abundance. And besides, these marriage conferences are as dry as dirt. But, sexfest? That’s the stuff of mud wrestling.

psychosis in atlanta
by Nic Gibson
At what point do the pens of the past converge?

Whether mystic Rationalist, pietist of rigorist?

Kierkegaard used to speak of the return of Luther,

And what he would say.

senator obama goes to africa
a review by Kenneth Morefield
“Senator Obama Goes to Africa” is not particularly interested in using its protagonist’s experiences to draw the viewer into a complex discussion of complicated themes. For that reason alone, the film also may not work too well as persuasion.

grafted in
by Eliyahu
As a lily wilts in the valley

That is where I pause to grieve

The basin of indecision

The Holy Land in a coma

gods and mini-gods
by Zach Kincaid
Sacrifices link most cultures to the gods. They ask the heavens to name the name of the deity who keeps throwing down fishing lines in hopes to catch these tasty feasts.

leaving the past behind
by Rupert M. Loydell
Larry Norman died on February 23... I shall miss him. If I haven’t spelled it out, his music has been part of my life now for over 30 years, a constant presence and encouragement, a reminder of my youth and my faith, of time passing, and of how important music can be.

in the shadow of genocide
by Jason Webb
But the country, which was, until a couple of months ago, one of the bright stars in a continent marred by pain, realizes just how close they were (and maybe still are) to all out genocide... everyone is on “knife’s edge” ...literally.

the dragon of rabieh
by Alexander Najjar
The facts that had been established thus far were not very conclusive. Some witnesses claimed to have seen a dragon, others a dinosaur. In a country where the majority of the people were so superstitious that they took astrologists’ predictions as gospel and preferred healers to doctors, it was not easy to separate fact from fiction, illusion from reality.
