Traitors for Christ
Last night (rather, this morning) before I went to sleep I posted this quote from the Encyclopedia of 7700 Illustrations: Signs of the Times on Facebook: Dr. Alexander Whyte of Edinburgh was famous for his pulpit prayers. He always found something to thank God for, even in bad times. One stormy morning a member of his…
Okay, I know I haven’t been doing these weekly…and that it’s a bit early for this one…but boy do I love it when Mark Lowry and the Gaither Vocal Band sing “Mary Did You Know?”… [youtube=http://youtu.be/iseLqbcqGOg&w=512&rel=0]
Our sister Christmas site is countdown2.christmas, and it now has it’s own Christmas music station thanks to Radionomy! Although a bit more is mixed in, its playlist is based on our “Christmas Album Must Haves”. Trust me, it’s the best Christmas music on this planet :-), so you should give it a listen: http://radio.countdown2.christmas (Yes,…
When I should have been relaxing, I grabbed a new .christmas domain and made a countdown to Christmas (countdown2.christmas) site for those of us who wish Christmas was year-round. 🙂
He exists. Now, if you are a Christian you already believed that, so it’s not so shocking, eh? If you aren’t a Christian, you don’t believe it anyway. In either case, don’t you feel the article’s title makes this post bait-and-switch? You were promised something amazing and got quite the opposite. You have every reason…
I’ve been amiss in sharing links, perhaps in part because I don’t want my posts to always be negative. So, with little commentary, here are some articles for review… “Coeur d’Alene City Attorney confirms: conservative Christian ministers’ wedding chapel business must provide same-sex marriage ceremonies” (October 22, 2014) “California Orders Churches To Fund Abortions—Or Else”…
This is cross-posted on qm101.co blog…but I think it is applicable in a Christian context too… I’ve used this analogy at home and at work to encourage people to keep their “eye on the prize.” You want to get from point A to point B. You should be able to go in a straight line….
The “In One Year” Bible reading for today was Luke 1…I didn’t realize it was such a long chapter. 🙂 And in that lengthy chapter two miraculous conceptions were announced. The first was to John the Baptist’s dad-to-be Zechariah: But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been…
The right way to be merry… We must play. But our merriment must be that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously—no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.1 — C.S. Lewis 1Lewis, C. S. (2001). The weight of glory: And other…
Every weekday morning when I am home and he has school, I get Augie up and grab the next random book in the series of Arch Books Bible stories. The last article I was reading beforehand on the exercycle was about the alleged“Rape Culture in the Alaskan Wilderness”, but the book was about Jesus raising…
Although I can’t say I was a fan of much of his managerial approach, in a former job one of our parent company’s Cs had an expression, “over their skis,” for people who were in positions they were not qualified for. (I confess that I always worried that he placed me in that category, although he never…
Not often would I like to pretty much quote an entire article, but there was one this past week by Andrew W.K. which shows unnatural wisdom in today’s modern world. If you do click through this link, please note piece’s title includes profanity: “Ask Andrew W.K.: My Dad Is a Right-Wing A******” The title of this…
During today’s visit to Red Rocks Park I was reminded that no matter how much destruction sin has wrought… God created life to be amazingly tenacious… The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork (Psalm 19:1, English Standard Version).
Every Saturday since Augie was a toddler, he and I have gone out for a daddy/son only breakfast. As a dad who has travelled and worked too much, it has been an immeasurable blessing. In Antrim, New Hampshire we went to T-Bird (which has a Dunkin’ Donuts); here near Denver Burger King is our normal…
