If you read this blog, you know that I am a die-hard Yankees fan. I've been one ever since my parents took me to see the Angels play the Yankees back in July of 1964. I remember that game like it was yesterday.
The game was at Dodger Stadium because Anaheim Stadium had not yet been built. My sister got Albie Pearson's autograph on my baseball glove (he was an Angels outfielder and a leader in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and I still have that glove). Jim Bouton pitched for the Yankees--I remember that his hat kept falling off because of his odd follow-through. The Yankees won 5-0.
My folks were hoping I'd become a fan of the new local baseball team (the Angels). We are Orange Countians after all, not New Yorkers. But when the Yankees took the field, it was love at first sight.
And now here we are, forty-five years later and I am as thrilled today, as I was on July 29, 1964.
Don't give me the same old line about A-Rod and Pettitte being cheaters, or that the Yankees bought the pennant. They've spent big bucks every year from 2001-2008 and didn't win the World Series. A-Rod and Pettitte came clean and the PED issue is a much bigger story than these two guys.
The Yankees won this year because they played very good fundamental baseball, which made them a blast to watch, and in the end ensured their twenty-seventh World Series victory! And I am thrilled!

Horton writes,
"Ask many Protestants today why they are not Roman Catholic and they may refer to `something about Mary and the saints.' However, for the Reformers, the heart of the problem was the sufficiency of Scripture and especially the sufficiency of Christ the Mediator for sinners. Are we justified by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, or by grace and our merits, faith and our works, Christ and the intercession of Mary and the saints."

How can we believe in God when there is so much evil and suffering in the world? Isn't it arrogant to insist that Christianity is the only true religion? These questions and more will be addressed on this edition of the White Horse Inn as Tim Keller joins the panel to discuss his New York Times bestselling book, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism.

"But the truth is, it is not Jesus as historically known, but Jesus as spiritually arisen within men, who is significant for our time and can help it. Not the historical Jesus, but the spirit which goes forth from Him and in the spirits of men strives for new influence and rule, is that which overcomes the world."

This comes from the conclusion of Albert Schweitzer's The Quest for the Historical Jesus (1906), p. 401.
