"You Play Ball Like . . . a Girl!!!"

Opening Day 2010 -- Play Ball!

If you are a baseball fan, you know what this day means.  Baseball is back!

Box scores, MLB channel, Gameday . . .

OK, so the Yanks blew a big lead in their season opener at Fenway.  I don't care.  Baseball is back!

Lets go Yankees!  The quest for number 28 begins.

BTW--C.C. Sabbathia is huge.  Dustin Pedroia is not!

This Week's White Horse Inn

The Cross & Resurrection

On this edition of the program the hosts walk through the significance of Christ's death, burial and resurrection. In particular, they focus on the importance of his resurrection from the dead, which vindicates his truth claims and provides a ground for belief in his sacrificial death on our behalf.

Who Said That? Post-Easter Edition

"Critical historians must start by assessing available evidence on the basis of what they know about what's probable or impossible, possible or impossible.  They therefore must start by dismissing miracle stories [the resurrection] out of hand."

This important admission that miracle stories "must be dismissed" before historical investigation begins (based upon naturalistic a priori assumptions) comes from Anthony Flew, in his debate with Gary Habermas. Did Jeus Rise from the Dead? (Harper and Row, 1987), 63.

This Week's White Horse Inn

The Kingdom of God, Part 2

On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts continue their discussion of the Kingdom of God. Though many today seek a Kingdom of power and glory, God's Kingdom advances in weakness and humility. One day God will reign visibly with great power and majesty, but in the meantime his Kingdom advances through word and sacrament.

Who Said That?

"At God’s will the Son has the greatness and qualities that he has.

His existence from when and from whom and from then—are all from God.

He, though strong God, praises in part his superior."
