In God We Trust?

I received the following email this week...

"Here's your chance to let the media know where the people stand on our faith in God, as a nation. NBC is taking a poll on "In God We Trust" to stay on our American currency.

Please send this to every person you know so they can vote on this important subject. Please do it right away, before NBC takes this off the web page.

Poll is still open so you can vote. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10103521/

This is not sent for discussion, if you agree forward it. If you don't, delete it. By my forwarding it, you know how I feel. I'll bet this was a surprise to NBC."


After thinking about it for a few minutes. Here was my response...

"86%. I would say "In God We Trust" is staying put.

But does God really care whether his name is on our money? Maybe we should ask Him. And if money is the root of all evil, perhaps He doesn't want to be any part of it.

Just a thought."


What do you think? Is it important to you to have God mentioned on our money?

The Bible: Magazine Style

What if the Bible was a "264-page glossy magazine" instead of the 1000 plus pages many of us are use to? That's a question Dag Söderberg is happy to answer. Recently launched in Sweden, his Bible Illuminated book is coming to the US later this Fall.

The controversial book is a new take on the storied text that is meant to be a "hip, relatable, coffee-table book kind of Bible." Söderberg's book is sure to stir up quite a storm amongst Christian circles in the States. I can envision two sides to this argument.

Side A will say this is blasphemous and not something that aligns with God's teachings. Side B will argue that it's a creative attempt at making God's Word relevant to today's culture and should be given a shot.

What say you?
