1000

Tomorrow, February 7th if everything goes as planned, Jessi will give birth to a baby boy. Though I am excited to have a boy, I’m also afraid. Now I have a man to raise. It’s not as if raising a girl to be a good woman is any easier, but it’s different and there are certain challenges I would probably have been able to avoid.

This post is a follow up to my last two posts.

I just happened to see this clip on youtube of Francis Chan admonishing men to act like men, which got me thinking. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAe5ULE8n_4

Then I saw this clip of Mark Dris...

This is a follow up to my previous post Church/Law/Religion?

How are we supposed to live the Christian life? Do we just get to keep on sinning since God’s grace will cover it all? Or, are we actually supposed to do that which Jesus commands? If so, how? How do those who have already believed the Gospel live in light of it?

Recently I was thinking about the fact that many people feel that they’ve been hurt by religion. They feel like they’ve been judged by religious people. Many people raised in the Church, don’t go to a church anymore because they were made to feel bad when they did. This isn’t all bad though – it’s good to feel bad.

My acceptance of Facebook’s new timeline format has prompted me to write about something I’ve been thinking about for years; that is the effect that recording ourselves has upon us and our society.

He was born to missionary parents in a foreign country and was homeschooled and those kinds of experiences are g...

. . . [T]here were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is ...

There are many wonderful hymns which are filled with an incredible depth of revelation. It’s a shame that the church in America these days has for the most part neglected the hymns, because they can educate us while we worship. They engage the intellect as well as the emotions. The Christmas carols are no exception, and fortunately we return to them at least once a year. Last Sunday we were sin...

This morning I read two stories concerning Tim Tebow which described two very different responses to a controversy related to Tebow.

The first was a story (LINK...

In an article in the Washington Post entitled Christianity 2.0, the church consultant and Episcopal priest Tim Erich answers the question – “What will a fresh Christianity look like in America?” Now, I don’t disag...
