Embracing the Biola greenhouse

Is Biola a bubble or a greenhouse? Well, that depends on your perspective and attitude, because in essence a greenhouse is a bubble with a purpose. This leads me to ask what the purpose of a greenhouse is. It is a place of cultivation that is safe from outside harm and allows the sun’s rays and heat to create a controlled atmosphere for growth.

Facing off: The Republican view

There is no learning curve in the Oval Office. In the past 10 years, international politics, global conflicts and economic uncertainty illustrate the vital and crucial importance of candidates' experience and accomplishments.

Facing off: The Democratic view, part 2

Change. For America, this is exactly what the doctor has in order. Senator Barack Obama is our ambassador to change and everything about his past has prepared him to represent you and me as our next president of the United States.

The fight against oversized Bible classes

Biola prides itself in its Bible program. Thirty units of good, wholesome, systematic theology for everyone. That’s pretty huge; nobody does that anymore. My question: are we sticking to it for tradition’s sake alone?

The chapel cram

As a columnist, it’s my duty to tackle the hard-hitting issues. It’s for this reason that when I was given the task of reporting on chapel overcrowding by my editor, I shoved everything off her desk and screamed “Don’t SPIT in a bucket and call it a SUNDAE!”

Fighting off the sick roommate bugs

Nothing puts tension on your friendship with your roommate like a cough that disrupts valuable hours of sleep. Chances are your first response to a sick roommate is more focused on you than on him or her.

Foregoing fitting in

At the beginning of the semester, I feel like this is my first time at Biola, for the sixth time. This place is strangely familiar, yet so far from what I call home.

Obama sending mixed messages

The Democratic National Convention was just a of couple weeks ago, and the senator from my home state of Illinois, Barack Obama, made American history by just standing and talking at the podium. Although Obama is a great orator — something the White House has been missing for at least eight years — I think many people have become distracted by his rhetoric and forget to analyze what is, exactly, the message that he wants to get across.

Fruitlessly planning the future

Who am I to arrogantly declare my future? And yet, I find that we often speak of the future as if it is guaranteed.

Christian toilet paper and television

September 9, 2008

Written by Calvin Sodestrom I love to walk into Christian bookstores and see how far the Christian subculture has truly gone. The vast array of things I can buy with either our Savior’s name or face imprinted on them is amazing. I’m all for selling Christian books and little trinkets here...

A day at the doctor

September 9, 2008

Written by Nathan Howden Is it serious? I'm afraid it is. Am I gonna die? Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day, but yours is coming quicker than ours, than ours. That quote has nothing to do with this post; I just really like the song. I went to the doctor today to get a...
