Our friend, Ken Satterberg, who serves with Covenant World Mission, received word this week that his request for a long-term visa has been approved by the French government. Ken, originally from Fresno, has spent most of his adult life in Africa but is moving to France to work with the rapidly-growing refugee population. PTL!

The Dallas Morning-News says that the IRS is investigating the flamboyant and extravagant faith-healer Benny Hinn.

The Arizona Republic has an article on the LifeChurch.tv attempt to open satellite-linked branches in the East Valley area of metropolitan Phoenix. The question in my mind is not so much "will it work?" -- rather, from a long-term perspective, is this a healthy thing for the Church to be doing?

The new edition of Covenant Affirmations is available online as a .pdf file. This is a descriptive doctrinal/values document for the Evangelical Covenant Church, of which I am a part.

The purpose-driven article that is ruffling the feathers of the "emergent" types -- and a few others. The very title, Three steps to healthier emerging generation churches, suggests that the guy is totally missing the point.

400 pound man walking across America to lose weight -- California to New York.

Some guy in Florida has been arrested for using someone else's unsecured wireless connection. Now, that makes a whole lot of sense.
