Hypocrites at Panera: An Illustration of Fallen Human Nature

Andy Naselli, guestblogging for Justin Taylor, tells of a “particularly striking” (his words, but accurate) conversation overheard while on vacation:

Between Two Worlds: Hypocrites at Panera: An Illustration of Fallen Human Nature.

The first part of the story is saddening. The second part, downright heartbreaking.

Site Updates

I’ve made some changes to the site recently, and tonight I did a bunch. So here we are, in no particular order…

  • No more Google Reader links or Del.icio.us links – I got bored with having these in the sidebar.
  • I fixed the search results page on the new theme, so when you search, you no longer just see title, you actually see the text that your search hit on. Here’s an example.
  • I updated some of the software that runs the site (WordPress plugins for you techie types) so that it runs faster. (Again, for techie types – changed some of the plugins that built dynamic scripts, CSS, etc. based on configured options, to static pages. I don’t change the configuration enough to pay the performance hit.)
  • I now have a “Now Reading” section in the sidebar, if you’re curious what I’m reading. Most of the time it is guaranteed to be out of date… :-)

Have a great weekend…

Gurnall on Secret Sins

More from The Christian in Complete Armour… Here, William Gurnall describes how Satan argues with us on behalf of our secret sins, hoping that we will cling to them…

Thou mayest keep me and thy credit also; I will not be seen abroad in thy company to shame thee among thy neighbours; shut me up in the most retired room thou hast in thy heart, from the hearing of others, if thou wilt only let me now and then have the wanton embraces of thy thoughts and affections in secret…

Here the valiant swordsmen of the world have showed themselves mere cowards, who have come out of the field with victorious banners, and then lived, yea, died slaves to a base lust at home.
