In my childhood I associated funerals with ice cream. My dad was a pastor, and when he would conduct a funeral it meant that the next Saturday evening our family would go to O’Dowd’s Dairy, on Route 46 in Northern New Jersey. My father officiated quite often at burial services. He had an arrangement with […]
The passing of Steve Jobs is eliciting many tributes and commentaries about his cultural contributions. I followed his public role only from a great distance, but I have been an Apple person from the start, which means that I experience the blessings of his accomplishments on a daily basis.
I don’t know anything much about his...
We have been told that John Stott passed from this life with the strains of the Messiah ringing out. I am sure that as he passed through the pearly gates an even greater chorus sang to greet him as he entered into the presence of the Messiah himself. And here on earth we are now blessed with...
Michelle Cottle has a problem with the idea that God “calls” people to run for high political office. Specifically, she is convinced that Texas Governor Rick Perry has been duplicitous in telling folks that he has been seeking divine guidance about whether to run for the Republican nomination, wondering publicly about whether it “is what I’ve been called to...

Clark is no stranger to controversial jury verdicts—she was the prosecutor in O.J. Simpson’s trial for murder. In commenting on the Anthony verdict she observed that we would do well in cases of this sort...
The recent publicity given to a failed prophecy about the Rapture brought up some memories for me about my own brief involvement in a prophecy project. I got a fairly early start in the business of prophesying about “end times.” And for me it really was a “business”—I actually earned some money at it when I was fifteen years...
As it became clear that May 21, 2011 was going to pass without the predicted “Rapture of the Faithful,” I began to think quite a bit—with a sense of sadness—about Hiram Edson. He was a member of a 19th century Christian sect headed up by William Miller. The group had prophesied that Christ would return on October 22, 1844,...
Here is Christian Post’s accurate and fairly detailed report of a talk I gave on campus—for those who might have continuing questions about my “orthodoxy” regarding heaven and hell.
Richard Mouw: Osama bin Laden Is in Hell

On May 21 I have scheduled a videotaping session on campus for a project we have labeled “The Seminary of the Future.” Now it turns out that there may be a scheduling conflict: according to Harold Camping, the Rapture will occur on that day, and Camping is gathering his followers to get ready to “meet the Lord...
