In waking to the reality of where the church has been sitting, really sitting in the waste of the world…really…I am humbled. I think our biggest sin, those of us in the church, those of us waking up to what is happening in the church, those of us nodding at the pastor preaching slick lies [...]

Bipolar Church?

Well, not bipolar, in the psychology sense, but in the sense of what is presented up front. Today, there was a speaker in for the vacationing pastor. The speaker shared a sermon basically on the definition of the gospel. I believe he was spot on with his sermon. He used Ephesians 2:1-10.
”And you were dead [...]

A high school coach and his team, along with the fans found a way to share true faith in action that was not “circus church” or false in any way. Action and Bibles….

Entanglement

Like being intwined in seaweed, or brambles in the forest, we Christians are often entangled in things that make it hard to walk the path of truth. We get into men’s teachings, and follow men. We get into the world’s ways, become woven together with these ways. Soon, they become a part of us, like [...]

Before the pull on Saddleback’s website:
What does the Bible say about homosexuality?
The Bible very clearly says that homosexuality is a sin.
“Homosexuality is absolutely forbidden, for it is an enormous sin.” (Lev. 18:22 TLB)
“Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor [...]
About My Title and Christ in my H.E.A.R.T.
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Christ, Christ in you, Christ in your heart, Christianity, doctrine, salvation on December 19, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I am a Christian. The reason I decided up on such a simple title is because as a child we used to sing a song that spelled “I am a C…I am a C.H…I am a C.H.R.I.S.T.I.A.N.” In the church I formerly attended (and in some we have visited) pastors are in the habit of [...]

Old Driscoll message at the Convergence conference at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary…some would say he went too far but I think it didn’t go far enough. I think there is a definite group trying to seperate themselves from emergent/emerging but they have been imprinted with this movement. Part of the church has been pulled left, [...]

Jonah/Paul

Been thinking about Jonah and Paul a lot lately. Jonah, he waited to see an entire town be destroyed. He did not joy in the repentance, nor did he expect it. I do not want to be Jonah. I would rather those who are following after the wrong path repent, turn and follow after the [...]
