		<title>A Window To The Soul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the next several posts I am going to literally put technology under a magnifying glass. There is little doubt that technology has impacted our culture in both good and bad ways. My aim over the next few weeks is to use a single technological breakthrough as a powerful example of how that has happened. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is It Bad?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spencer&#8217;s conclusion is really a question &#8230; Should we be dreading the supposed collapse or hastening its arrival? Specifically, he wonders &#8230;
Is it a good thing that denominations are going to become largely irrelevant? Only if the networks that replace them are able          to marshal resources, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some Daunting Numbers: 75, and 9</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are a couple of statistics that serve to buttress the case for Michael Spencer&#8217;s The Coming Evangelical Collapse &#8230;
SEVENTY FIVE &#8230;
&#8230; is the percentage of young adults who, after they leave high school and the comparative safety of their parents home to go off to college or into the workforce, also leave the church.

		<title>A Final Thought on Economics, Faith and &#8220;The Pillars of Prosperity&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of months ago, a fellow pilot I was flying with raved about a fascinating book he had just read and which he recommended highly. I asked him to give me a Cliff&#8217;s Notes version of the book on a flight from Cincinnati to San Francisco (It was to allow conversations like this, by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where Economics and Faith Meet (2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my previous post, I began to address Spencer&#8217;s prediction that the Collapse of Evangelicalism will occur to great degree because &#8220;money will not be flowing towards Evangelicalism in the same way as before.&#8221; While I disagreed with what seemed to be the thrust of Spencer&#8217;s argument &#8212; that the cause of this drying up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where Economics and Faith Meet (1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of Spencer&#8217;s predictions in his piece, &#8220;The Coming Evangelical Collapse,&#8221; is this one:
7) A major aspect of this collapse will happen because money will not be flowing towards evangelicalism in the same way as before. The passing of the denominationally loyal, very generous “greatest generation” and the arrival of the Boomers as the backbone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christian Education And The Church</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; after a quick detour to discuss Ida, I am back to continue the discussion of &#8220;The Coming Evangelical Collapse&#8221; as it has been predicted by Michael Spencer &#8230;

As a lead-in to a continued discussion of Spencer&#8217;s reasons why this is going to happen, I cannot let go of the bothersome assertion that evangelicals need [...]]]></description>

		<title>IDA Never Believed It If I Hadn&#8217;t Seen It Myself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unless you&#8217;ve been living under a rock, you&#8217;ve probably heard about Ida (technical name: Darwinius masillae), the latest of the missing links that claims to &#8220;prove&#8221; the Evolutionary connection between we humans and our earliest ancestors.  Because the story has been so big in the news, I feel compelled to pause from the topic I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Offensive Christianity?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I attempt any kind of comment on the predictions of Michael Spencer about The Coming Evangelical Collapse, I want to be fair about a few things surrounding the alleged &#8220;collapse&#8221; he is anticipating. So, in his own words, here are some of the disclaimers he offers to go along with the prediction.

		<title>Is The Sky Falling!?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following is the lead-in to an article entitled, &#8220;The Coming Evangelical Collapse,&#8221; that appeared in the March 10, 2009 edition of The Christian Science Monitor. Just as background, the author, a guy named Michael Spencer (the &#8220;Internet Monk&#8221;), is a well-educated, orthodox Christian pastor and writer of one of the most widely read and [...]]]></description>
