Politically Uncorrect

Friday, June 30th, 2006

This song just makes me want to holler “Amen!”

• Politically Uncorrect • | by Gretchen Wilson

I’m for the low man on the totem pole
And I’m for the underdog God bless his soul
And I’m for the guys still pulling third shift
And the single mom raisin’ her kids
I’m for the preachers who stay on their knees
And I’m for the [...]

Valedictorian

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

There’s a great post over at The Rogue Angel about valedictorians who were punished by speaking about their faith during their speeches. One wasn’t allowed to give her speech and the other had her diploma withheld!
Last week I posted about how a school pulled the plug on a Valedictorian’s speech for talking about her faith [...]

The Examined Life–Which Bible is she reading?

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

There’s a great post over at The Examined Life called Which Bible is she reading?
She (he?) takes a look at the assertion that Christ’s message was only about “love and acceptance.”
Check it out.

Dirty Girls

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

There’s an article in Relevant Magazine by a woman named Anne Jackson. She tells a very personal and painful story of her addiction to porn. It’s not only a man’s addiction.
Of course I never mentioned my struggle to anyone. Looking at porn was typical, even expected, for guys but a girl? A girl who likes [...]

You Can’t Not Have Doctrine

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

There’s an interesting post by Brent over at Colossians Three Sixteen called You Can’t Not Have Doctrine (HT: Rhett Smith).He takes Velvet Elvis, by Rob Bell, and Searching for God Knows What, by Donald Miller, and looked at the similarities between the two.
Now, I will be the first to admit that I’m partial to both [...]

Naming the Animals

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

One day I’m going to be in heaven and I can ask God all of these questions I have about creation and the Bible. But for now, I’ll just have to try and intelligently make sense of everything. There are two camps of people who believe in Creationism: first, those who believe God created everything [...]

Christian Carnival 128

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

This week’s Christian Carnival is up at Cadmusings. Highlights from this week:
Jon Swift’s Warren Buffet Turns Against God, a great satirical piece about giving and Christianity.
Heart, Mind, Soul, and Strength’s Pet peeves in the homosexuality debate, which, I think, is pretty self explanatory.

Religion–what do you think?

Monday, June 26th, 2006

One of the best quotes in Donald Miller’s book, Searching For God Knows What, is:

The very scary thing about religion, to me, is that people actually believe God is who they think He is.

What do you think about that statement? I want to hear from everyone, regardless of or your faith, or lack thereof.

What do I do?

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

My friends say that I have a Bible in my head. The funny thing is that I don’t know nearly as much Scripture as I used to. The sad thing is that the reason I knew so much was because I was constantly hearing it in church. For me to not know it anymore means [...]

Perpetually Single

Friday, June 23rd, 2006

I have rarely used this forum as a means to write about my personal life–mostly because I lead a rather boring life. I wake up, go to work, go home, go to sleep, wake up… it’s a nasty cycle. There’s often deviation from that cycle on the weekends when I go to dinner with friends [...]
