I just read through two years worth of posts. Wow. It was interesting. I’d written a lot of stuff I’d forgotten about. Was reminded of a few things that made me cry. But it was all my journey. All of it is part of who I am. And the reason I went through it all [...]

Tonight I decided that I needed to read something by someone with an alternative Christianity – not the cut and dried black and white traditional kind. My first choice was Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. Its subtitle is “Nonreligious Thoughts About Christian Spirituality” so it definitely fit the bill. Only, I couldn’t find my [...]

My friend Jeanie is an amazing woman. She always has the most perceptive insight and an innate ability to practically apply everyday life to Scriptural truth. Today she wrote about something that I really needed to hear. “It occurred to me one day that though I often worry about whether or not I sense the [...]

Matt has posted a great response to the recent “debate” between Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort (“The Way of the Master”) and Brian and Kelly (of the “Rational Response Squad”). I didn’t watch the whole thing (Matt’s got the youtube links), because I got very frustrated very early in. I didn’t even see the atheist [...]

I managed to have a quiet time with God this morning. In doing so, I read the first two chapters of James. I nearly laughed at loud when I read verses 3 and 4: “…you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature [...]

At my church, we’re going through these classes called Life Journey Classes. They’re divided into five 3 hour sessions: Rescue 101 – My commitment to Jesus… Jesus came, “To Save what was Lost.” – Luke 19:10 “Whoever enters through Me (Jesus) will be Saved.” – John 10:9 Connect 201 – My commitment to my local church [...]

This is good: Once we, as humans, begin to tamper with what God says is true and good, we launch ourselves down a slippery slope that will necessarily lead to greater and grander error. Only when we have rejected God’s truth do we need to fight about and wrestle with issues such as whether a [...]

This is absolutely ridiculous. It’s disgusting. Over the top. And it’s the evangelical response to the bill coming before the Senate to enforce severe punishment for “hate crimes.” Except… the bill doesn’t really enforce punishment for all “hate crimes,” or does it? From Harry Jackson: This legislation will grant protected status to “sexual orientation” and [...]

Ray Comfort is a quack. It may not be the most Christlike thing for me to say, but the man drives me nuts. I believe his heart and desire for God are absolutely sincere, but have you seen this? How can you take this man seriously after that? Now he’s going to debate God’s existence [...]

Interrogate the Legalist Within:  Pause for a moment and remember. Remember where you were, and what it was like … that moment when you understood the cross for the first time … when you really grasped what happened at Calvary, and what it truly means that Christ died for your sins, what it truly means [...]
