As our nation enters the 21st century, we have left behind two centuries of prosperity and dignity. According to many scholars, we are in the Age of the Church. But is this age passing away? As Christians of the new millennium, we are faced with the biggest struggle the church has seen since the Protestant...
With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I have two game plans. The first: to hang out with my housemates. The second: to hang out with my housemates. It’s not the fact that we haven’t had offers for Valentine’s Day dates, which were hard to turn down, or that we chide Valentine’s Day for...
A stagnant leader is as unpalatable as sipping a flat soda.
Here at Biola, we spend hundreds of hours studying the New Testament, much of which was penned by a revolutionary named Paul. Paul was no stagnant leader. This Jewish Pharisee-turned-unlikely-missionary spent his life sharing an unpopular,...
As a collegiate journalist I am often forced to bury my emotions and feelings deep down inside in order to provide the necessary journalistic integrity and lack of bias that is characteristic of our prestigious school newspaper. Well, today’s article isn’t about the new bike racks that they added...
“If the world were a logical place, men would ride sidesaddle.”
We women may laugh, but guys – I see you grimacing from bad memories of painful rides – right now you really wish the world were a logical place, don’t you? You’ve got an unusual advocate.
The quotation above comes from...
While watching the Super Tuesday primary results on CNN, I was reminded of why I went into print journalism.
“With one percent of precincts reporting, we're projecting that (some candidate) will take (some state).”

It’s Christmastime again. I know what you’re thinking -- we go through the same rituals every year. Thanksgiving ends, and everyone readies themselves for the coming holiday. My family bought our tree just days after we had consumed our turkey. But how can buying a Christmas tree put me into the...
Ah yes, its the most wonderful time of the year -- finals week! Hooray! Hooray! Today, I drove around town just to watch the children dancing in the streets, mothers and fathers bustling along dressed up to catch the spirit, and birds that returned merely to bask in the warm glow of the festivities.
Just...
What ever happened to a good old “Merry Christmas?” To the times when our country was united “under God,” rather than trying to get rid of Him?
Increasingly more in our society, the term “Merry Christmas” is being replaced with the barren phrase “Happy Holidays.”
For example, in...
The last several Thanksgivings I survived have been “experiences.” Not necessarily in the same way that action movies are “the thrill-ride adrenaline-soaked experience of the summer.” They’re more like those internships where you don’t get paid but they are a “good experience for your resume.”

Strike, Day 5: Michael Farr, Hair Cuts, and Whitney: A Strike in Review
11/22/07 6:38 p.m.
Attention, I have an announcement to make; the strike is officially over. Actually it’s been over since Tuesday, although I’m afraid that this was too late for many of the writers who were joining...
It’s Thanksgiving break again. I think this year I should get an A for thankfulness. Let me tell you why, because I’m “A-wfully” thankful for so many things. Each year I make a list of the things that I am most thankful for as well as the things that I am definitely not thankful for. The reason...
