A little miscellany on Tuesday


Some economics items: I enjoyed this explanation of derivatives, and this commentary by Penn Jillette (with whom I likely agree on very little!) There is also a very interesting video segment here from Bill Moyer's Journal: an interview with William K. Black about fraud and duplicity. And on the lighter side, how about this, claiming that Evangelicals help shore up the housing market? And how about this, especially for our Alien family member: why Canada is the best prepared for the economics problems of America.

Some other interesting items: There was a bold Newsweek issue and article about the end of Christianity in America this week. Al Mohler has some interesting thoughts on the issue.

A little encouragement: Need some after all that? Try this excellent reminder from Mark Altrogge: we must fix our eyes on Jesus.

Thanks for the links. I skimmed the Newsweek article, but want to read it more closely.

It seems to me that while we watch our culture become post-Christian and reject Christian values and Western morality we are actually seeing the "you never knew Me" sort of "Christians" give up the game. Our culture will suffer for denying Christ, to be sure, but I suspect that plenty of people that went along with Christian values fifty years ago weren't truly trusting Christ for their salvation.
