Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World
Oh Prophets – Be Quiet
Not one contemporary Christian prophet foresaw COVID-19. Not one.
I’ve noticed most Christian prophets today sound more like horoscope writers than anything else.
Maybe it’s time to be quiet.

Another Gospel? by Alisa Childers (Brief Book Review)
Another Gospel?: A Lifelong Christian Seeks Truth in Response to Progressive Christianity by Alisa Childers
My rating: 2.5 stars.
Apologetics is a western bird as it addresses two sick branches on the western Church’s tree: atheism, and what’s currently called progressivism. Alisa Childers is also very much a western bird, both in the deconstruction and reconstruction of her Christian faith.
I was once asked to teach a course on Apologetics in a bible college in India. I agreed, but as I was preparing the course I realized what a mistake I’d made. It was like going to the desert to teach a course on snowman building.
I don’t see anyone steeped in Progressive Christianity changing their mind from this book, but maybe that is not the book’s intention. I imagine it will mostly appeal to millennial western Christians struggling with the same issues Childers did.
I thought her sections on the atonement were good. Her thoughts on hell were lazy. Most of all her other thoughts can be found readily on apologetics blogs.
I did read the entire book cover to cover without getting bored, so that earns it a star or two.
