Legalism vs “Easy Believe-ism”

12/03/2011

We Evangelicals can’t be happy unless we are doing something for God, because then and only then will God smile at us and be happy. I think a lot of it has to do with how much we despise people getting something for nothing, you know, living off the system. So in our Christian life we … More Legalism vs “Easy Believe-ism”

Love vs. Doctrine

07/03/2011

I admit that I am passionate about non-believers seeing what the unconditional love of God can look like. I am also passionate for believers in the church to understand the unconditional love of God so well that it sets them free from the legalism that is so prevalent in the american church today. Because I hold those two views … More Love vs. Doctrine

The Lord Jesus & Lady GAGA

05/03/2011

Last night I went to church. It was an amazing service. Thousands of people filling the auditorium. There were younger and older, male and female, some dressed up, and some in jeans and tee shirts singing and dancing, raising their hands high above their head. Everyone accepted everyone else, just as they were. The service was filled with ambiance, … More The Lord Jesus & Lady GAGA

Brood of Vipers

15/02/2011

I am still concerned. Last week I mentioned a blog post written by Bryan Fischer over at the American Family Association’s affiliate Rightly Concerned. He has posted a response as to why his original post on Native Americans was taken down. Apparently it received so much vitriol that he didn’t want it to effect the mission of AFA. He … More Brood of Vipers

Savages In The Land

11/02/2011

This week I just happened to take a look at The American Family Association (AFA) website. I don’t usually spend too much time there since this “christian” organization tends to spend most of its time condemning the non-believer and scaring uninformed believers concerning the doom and destruction looming large before the family because of such things as Home … More Savages In The Land

The Person Behind The Label

08/02/2011

I have an interesting job, every day is different. But the most interesting part is the people who I work with. Let me share with you in general terms the types of people I have come to love. These descriptions are a combination of many people and not any one person specifically. There is the exotic … More The Person Behind The Label

Epiphany…(follow up to apology)

07/02/2011

The first 10 or so years of my Christian experience I grew in Biblical understanding as defined by Evangelicalism and outward appearance would indicate that I was a “pharisee of pharisees’. Inside, I knew better and with each passing day I had to try harder and do more in order to make God happy with … More Epiphany…(follow up to apology)

Apology…

06/02/2011

I have, as stated in past posts, been around the Evangelical sub-culture for the past 28 years. I have participated in a multitude of Christian “outreach” programs. Protesting abortion clinics, writing in a college paper against pre-marital sex,picketing movies (The Last Temptation of Christ), doing door to door evangelism (memorizing a script via Evangelism Explosion), pontificating from my … More Apology…

Preaching Death and Hate…The New “gospel”

31/01/2011

Most of you will not know the name David Kato so let me give you a very brief intro. David Kato was a Ugandan who was gay. He was ridiculed and hated for it but he became an outspoken advocate for gay rights in Uganda. Last week someone entered David Kato’s house and bludgeoned him … More Preaching Death and Hate…The New “gospel”

Sanctity of “Some Human” Life Month

24/01/2011

January has been designated by pro-life organizations as Sanctity of Life month. The 23rd of January is the Sunday this year where churches are suppose to focus on the value and sacredness of human life. Before I go any further, let me be perfectly clear that this blog is written by someone who embraces the … More Sanctity of “Some Human” Life Month
