About three years ago, Phil Vischer, creator of Veggie Tales, gave an interview about Big Idea's bankruptcy and what he learned from the company's failure and his ambitions. The things he said still ring true, perhaps even more. So it's worth repeating here: After the bankruptcy I had kind of a forced sabbatical of... Continue Reading →
There are some men who are dreary because they do not believe in God; but there are many others who are dreary because they do not believe in the devil... The full value of this life can only be got by fighting; the violent take it by storm. And if we have accepted everything we... Continue Reading →
If you've ever received an email from me, I use a non-standard closing: "Pray for Revolution." It's a phrase that appears throughout the site here at Eternal Revolution and there is even a shirt design using the phrase. I realized I never explained the source anywhere on this site. I admit, it is an... Continue Reading →
While reading a book on business strategies, I came across an expression credited as "an ancient Chinese proverb." The person who says something is impossible should not interrupt the person who is doing it.

Chesterton wrote in Orthodoxy: “Christianity even when watered down is hot enough to boil all modern society to rags. The mere minimum of the Church would be a deadly ultimatum to the world.” Obviously that isn’t true of Anne Rice’s ‘Christianity,’ but is it... Continue Reading →
My adventures as a freelancer have brought me back to the place 'between clients.' The point where we trust God's providence for our daily bread fully - as we ought to always - because efforts at the moment feel particularly in vain. Apparently this was something I was to consider this Lenten season. I can't say... Continue Reading →
It is all too easy to push off changing the world to things that “society,” “the future,” or even worse, “the government” ought to do. You may have noticed we don’t talk a lot here on Eternal Revolution about current politics, if at all. Most of us can’t affect the power plays of the ruling... Continue Reading →
The season of Lent is almost upon us - 40 days prior to Easter (excluding Sundays) that are a time of preparation for the celebration of Jesus' passion and resurrection. The early Christian church marked the 40 days of preparation for Easter as far back as 325, and it was established formally in the... Continue Reading →
