Are There Sinners In Your Church?

24/04/2013

Everyday on television, the internet, and on the radio, Christian pastors and speakers pontificate about the sins committed in American society by people, they claim, have little regard for God. They rant against the unchurched embracing evil practices and how the country is going from bad to worse. These masters manipulators of the Bible dressed … More Are There Sinners In Your Church?

Christ Follower…

16/04/2013

So it took less than a day for some Christians to begin to point the finger at the “other”, blaming them for the Boston Marathon bombing. Here is one by “Christ Follower” , “Outspoken Conservative”(like Jesus, I guess), and very proud that she is blocked by several public figures (I can only imagine it has … More Christ Follower…

Can You Answer These Questions?

10/02/2013

I have been thinking a lot about hell lately. I think it had to do with watching Pat Robertson’s CBN telethon. No, it is not what you are thinking. In the segment of the show I watched, there were testimonies of people who had near death experiences and some went to hell. So I started … More Can You Answer These Questions?

At The Cliff

30/12/2012

I think, no I am pretty certain, that Evangelicalism is standing on a precipice. Some, like one of my favorite writers, Becky Garrison, have written off this segment of the church as having died. She and others have good reason for that assessment. But I remain a tiny bit more optimistic. I believe that if the Evangelical … More At The Cliff

Silent

07/12/2012

God is silent. My few and futile prayers blown away by cold, winter wind. Never reaching the gilded throne room of my Creator. Do I know that He is there? Of course…most of the time. Have I abandoned by faith? No….but I admit that there is only a little of it. Almost eleven months ago I lost my … More Silent

Conditionally, Unconditional

30/09/2012

It never fails. I quote a passage of Scripture on Facebook about loving others and someone is always quick to remind me that I shouldn’t take this “love and grace” thing too far. Here is an example. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1 John 4:8) I suggested that … More Conditionally, Unconditional

People Matter…

20/09/2012

Humanity matters to the Creator. People matter to Jesus. Humans were placed in a Paradise planted by the hand of God Himself, because he created them, breathed life into them, and He loved them. People were healed emotionally, physically, and spiritually by the hand of Jesus because he loved them unconditionally. We, the church, the … More People Matter…

Losing Focus…

24/08/2012

There are times when I post personal quandaries. This is one of them because I am feeling overwhelmed at the moment. This week my father entered to hospital with end stage Parkinson, pneumonia, congestive heart failure. He has very little time. We were never close, I guess partly my fault, partly his. I don’t remember when … More Losing Focus…

Truth About The Truth

31/07/2012

Questions… Why does it seem that EVERY TIME I write concerning unconditional love or God’s grace here or on other social media, or even have a conversation about it, someone invariably tells me that people need to hear the “truth”. And that by teaching grace and unconditional love in Jesus alone, I am encouraging/facilitating sin or … More Truth About The Truth

Litmus Test….

29/07/2012

Over the years we have seen a number of cultural/political/religious issues attached to the Gospel message to help us identify someone as in or out of the christian club. These issues pit person against person, church against church. Bothers and sisters in Christ minimizing and demonizing those that do not agree or believe exactly the … More Litmus Test….
