My father-in-law showed me this great site, which lets you map out where you live (only California) and see the prices of gas all over town. This of course is also helpful if you are traveling within California and wondering where to get gas. Though less useful, this site let's you perform similar research throughout the USA. … [Read more...] about Pay Less To Fill Your Gas Tank

Dems Woo Religious Voters
Senator Obama's campaign is clearly taking advantage of the opening caused by the rift between McCain and conservative religious voters (which I previously noted). Obama is trending up since last week. I agree with two reports I saw recently that suggested Obama either wins or loses in a landslide. McCain needs to energize people--now. … [Read more...] about Dems Woo Religious Voters
John Piper Mines Treasure in Psalm 119:65-72
Piper on Psalm 119: The reason Psalm 119 has 176 verses is that the Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters. The psalmist exults in the multifaceted preciousness of God’s word by taking each letter of the alphabet and writing eight verses of exultation, each verse beginning with that letter.

Do I Know God? – Tullian Tchividjian
The Apostle John wrote his first epistle to Christians ("you who believe in the name of the Son of God"). And why did John write? "That you may know that you have eternal life" (I John 5:13). While God delights to grant assurance of salvation to His children, we're also told that assurance is a blessing that each Christian is to earnestly seek (II Peter 1:10). And in thinking about assurance of salvation we must inevitably consider questions like: Is certainty possible in this area? What does it mean to truly know God? Is it possible to be "sure" I know God, and yet be deceived? How … [Read more...] about Do I Know God? – Tullian Tchividjian
Novak on McCain’s Evangelical Problem
John McCain has been unable to mend fences with Dr. James Dobson and has publicly repudiated John Hagee. Robert Novak writes an engaging piece about McCain's ongoing struggle to court evangelicals: The evangelicals are not an isolated problem for the Republican candidate. Enthusiasm for McCain inside the Republican coalition is in short supply. During the four months since McCain clinched the nomination, he has not satisfied conservatives who oppose his positions on global warming, campaign finance reform, immigration, domestic oil drilling and how to ban same-sex marriages. Among all … [Read more...] about Novak on McCain’s Evangelical Problem
