Douglas Wilson and Christopher Hitchens in a Collision Over Truth
Thanks to Justin Taylor for pointing out what looks to be an interesting documentary that follows Christopher Hitchens and Douglas Wilson as they debate whether or not Christianity is good for the world. The debate is based upon a book which documents a series of letters between the two men.
The following is some background information from Christianity Today:
Douglas Wilson is author of Letter from a Christian Citizen, senior fellow of theology at New Saint Andrews College, and minister at Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho. He is also the editor of Credenda/Agenda magazine and has written (among other things) Reforming Marriageand A Serrated Edge: A Brief Defense of Biblical Satire and Trinitarian Skylarking. His Blog and Mablog site inevitably makes for provocative reading.
Christopher Hitchens wrote, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything (Twelve Books). Hitchens is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and a visiting professor of liberal studies at the New School. He is the author of numerous books, Thomas Jefferson: Author of America, Thomas Paine’s “Rights of Man,” Letters To a Young Contrarian, and Why Orwell Matters. He was named, to his own amusement, number five on a list of the “Top 100 Public Intellectuals” by Foreign Policy and Britain’s Prospect.
The following is a preview.

What are important questions to ask when seeking truth?
Information comes at us quickly and in many ways. How does one sift through agenda and bias and arrive at truth? The following questions are great to keep in mind as you surf the internets, browse the magazine, read the paper, watch the hannityolbermanns, listen to the professor, and watch the infomercials:
1. What do you mean by that?
2. Where do you get your information?
3. How do you know you are right?
4. What happens if you are wrong?
Can you think of other questions to ask? Comment below.

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
The following videos are from the vtONE worship event which took place at Virginia Tech a few days after the shootings on 4/16/2007.

I want to be like a tree (Psalm 1)
I want to be like a tree planted by streams of living water. I want to delight in the law of the Lord and to meditate on it day and night.
Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
