I found this interview to be somewhat revealing.

I see the thought is that we can do something to grow in grace, that we can get somewhere to grace in spiritual disciplines. The claim is “the Christian disciplines as avenues to grace…” I thought Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. [...]

Why do we sleep? Why do we allow ourselves to be taken away? It’s because we would rather sleep than face the stark reality that is the world pretending to be the church. We would rather pretend that what’s happening is okay, it’s fine to change the way we worship. As long as we’re sincere, [...]

I am personally embarassed I missed it. I thought Rick Warren was making some sort of jab or point at people who would have a problem with him praying in the name of Jesus, so he went into overkill by stating the name of Jesus in a few different ways. I didn’t listen closely, which [...]

Looking on the web page for my former church they have an upcoming comic for a marriage conference. Watched Youtubes of the guy, yes, he’s funny. How in the world he can make a marriage better though is beyond me. I figured that the Bible might be a good source for marriage help, but what [...]

John 20:31. It’s a basic verse and my children ages 6, 8, 10, and 12 know it. They learned it at Awana. The pastor of a church we’re visiting spent a long sermon on this verse today. This church is going to spend many months on the book of John. He actually said about a year, [...]

As I read about market crashes and planned craziness with the upcoming change from one president to the next, I am remembering that God is in control. He has a plan, He will allow what He will allow. It’s tempting to begin to fear, to become frightened by what will happen to Christians [...]

The last Sunday we attended our former church the “missional pastor” spoke. He’s the one we quoted in the letter, he’s the one who quoted emergent authors with no warnings. It’s been several months, and he has been out of the country being missions oriented. The church was also having a campaign [...]
