Fire alarm system supported, in spite of trivial causes

Biola campus fire alarms are a common problem for all dorms and are more frequently set off by cooking mishaps than anything else.
Burnt popcorn is by far the leader in setting off fire alarms in dorms, said Justin Shelby, spokesman for Campus Safety.

White is a color, too

I love my church: the pastor is Korean, the worship leader is Hispanic, the lady who does announcements is black , and there are more inter-marrieds than same-race couples. But as my eyelids close for prayer, the last thing I see is a racial slur.

“Red Sea” shirts spark controversy

The mass of 'Red Sea' Biola t-shirts have been cause of many controversies on campus due to design and purpose.
Biola’s athletic events have APU seeing red. More specifically, they’re seeing the mass of “Red Sea” shirts that Biola Associated Students has distributed to students this year. Notable throughout the stands during Thursday’s playoff basketball game, the shirts have become widespread enough to make the campus look like an enormous game of Risk.

Is there a (divine) reason for everything?

On various occasions during my relatively young life, I have come across broken romantic relationships in which one of the parties will express the reason for the breakup as: "God has a better plan," and/or, "It just wasn’t meant to be.” Personally, I don’t find anything inherently wrong with a Christian man and woman devoted to one another even with no sense of a special divine word that the other is "the one.” In fact, I find that the Bible supports such a relationship! So why do we view the broken relationship as being a part of “God’s will”?

Thoughts on contemporary worship: Giving God our best

In order to make God the focus of our worship, we must incorporate not only good content but good form, for with excellence in both areas, we please God by giving him our best – and that means playing instruments excellently.

Chimes Blog: “DC doesn’t love fro yo as much as I do”

How is there only one frozen yogurt chain in D.C.? This question has been plaguing me since I moved here. I am an avid consumer of good frozen yogurt and back in Southern California, I have numerous options: Yogurtland, Beach Berries, Pinkberry, Berry Cool, Red Mango … at any of these places I can indulge in my fill of tart frozen yogurt and fresh fruit toppings. In D.C., though, there is Tangy Sweet. That's it.
