So Chris (our youth minister) grabbed me as I was getting set up for sunday school this morning and asked me to be at the church for the youth and college praise band kickoff this afternoon. I’ve been wanting to get involved for a while, so of course I said yes. Josh, the college praise [...]

This is a letter I wrote this afternoon to a couple of friends of mine who had a question about an idolatry I identified: Idolatry of the Bible. We were discussing starting a Bible study locally and I wanted to make clear that my intention would be to focus any study of the Bible on [...]

When I was a little younger and a little less mature (read: before marriage and kids), I spent a lot of time reading high-toned, fancy classical literature, smoking my Camel cigarettes and drinking like a fish and discussing “worldly” secular philosophy with like-minded friends like someone who actually knew what they were talking about. I [...]

Before we begin, some reference scripture: 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the [...]

BeAttitude recently published an article entitled “Why I recently walked away from Christianity.” My own path is not dissimilar to BeAttitude’s in many ways, only that I am further down that path, excited to see someone else traveling it. When I left home and joined the Air Force back in 2000, I left my faith [...]

Dearest Karri, This week we’re studying John chapter 1, verses 1-18. This is the preamble to John’s gospel, and some very important scripture to examine in depth as we prepare to examine the ministry of Christ. The Word Became Flesh 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the [...]

Everywhere I go online, I find what I believe to be wild misunderstandings and unhealthy doctrine on the concept of Biblical Judgement. This article is an attempt to define at the very least my beliefs, if not the true and proper interpretation of scripture. It is my belief that what follows here is the interpretation [...]

Something said to me by a relative this Easter Sunday at lunch really bothered me. We were discussing, as southern Baptists are wont to do, the various uncouth practices of other churches at worship, the use of loud rock music to worship, the lack of deep, penitent, reflective lyrics in their songs, etc. I made [...]
