Yoga, IHOP, Dog Fights and Punk Rock

Just because the war on Christmas is over “at least for now” doesn’t mean there aren’t other battles going on in Christendom. People are debating about everything from yoga to trademarks to dog fighting and beyond. Here are a few quirky stories I read in my quest to deliver you the news that matters most.

Should Christians practice yoga? The Wall Street Journal is stirring up quite a debate with its article by the same title. 

What’s in an acronym? Plenty, apparently. But the Los Angeles Times reports that the International House of Pancakes dropped its trademark suit against the International House of Prayer. Did prayer help?


25,000 Young Adults Gather at IHOP Conference

It’s all about one thing at the International House of Prayer’s (IHOP) Young Adult Conference and that’s Jesus.

Dubbed one thing, the annual worship and teaching conference is drawing 25,000 young adults to Kansas City Convention Center this Dec. 28-31.

“There are moments in history when a door for great change is blown wide open,” says Mike Bickle, conference founder and director of IHOP-KC. “We are in the early days of seeing sweeping changes that will confront the status quo in the Church and in society. It is in these strategic moments that the disciples of Jesus will become the hinge of history, that pivotal point that determines which way the door will swing.”
