Traitors for Christ
As I continue my blessed journey through all 66 books in the Bible, I ran into what I thought could be a humorous example of why you want to make sure whether what you are reading is normative or descriptive. What is normative? Per my Mac’s dictionary: normative |ˈnôrmətiv| adjective formal establishing, relating to, or…
One of the handy things about JetPack from WordPress.com is how it tracks statistics. I’m sure they get benefit from it too (like Google does from providing Google Analytics), but as an author/webmaster/etcetera it’s cool to see what brings people to the site. WordPress.com also created a simple “Traditores 2013 in Blogging Annual Report” to…
Just imagine you are Abimelech. A rich guy comes into your territory with a cute sister (although she had to be pretty old) and you take her for your wife. Win! However… But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man because of the…
You were promised by God to Abraham. How do those words speak to your heart? Do they make it “jump for joy”? Doesn’t the idea that the Most High Himself spoke of you cause you excitement…at least a little bit? Or are you a bit incredulous and need hard “head” proof before you are going…
Dear Least Important Church… Before we jump into this week’s sermon I should probably give a quick review of the five that preceded it. Not the chronological quintet, but the previous pentad in the series it is a member of. Today’s “Don’t Be a Sucker” is talk number six in “Dear Least Important Church…,” an…
This year I am reading the entire Bible again (you should too), and yesterday the flood subsided. Afterward, our Lord tells Noah: 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of…
Okay, you probably won’t find a whole bunch of the ONION articles linked on Traditores…and I’m not big on snarky…but this is hilarious. It is so short I can’t excerpt much, but it starts off: MACON, GA—Sources confirmed today that the brainwashed morons at First Baptist Assembly of Christ, all of whom blindly accept whatever…
Soon after becoming a teenager music became a combination of an inspiration and an addiction for me, and within the last few years I ran into a great band called Black Stone Cherry. They quickly became one of my favorite groups. Of course, Jesus is even more important than music, no matter how loud and…
Taking one last look at Facebook last night, I came across this New Year’s wish from a friend: May the new year be better than the last!!!! And, dear reader, I do hope that is true for you and yours. However, when I first digested those words they came through as: May the new year…
Traditores is proud to announce two new features/offerings. Last night, WordPress.org approved our first WordPress plugin, Traditores In-One-Year…and today we uploaded the files for everyone to start using. It is what powers our Bible reading plans. Also last night, we registered traditor.es to produce our own URL shortener (you know, like bit.ly, t.co, etc.) Although…
The Lamb Was Sure to Go… If you’ve ever attempted to learn an instrument…something I’ve tried to do unsuccessfully more than once (a personal focus issue)…there is a good chance you’ve played the children’s song, “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” Actually, even if you aren’t a “wanna be” or real musician, it’s likely you have…
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the…
Well, after that last post you deserve something back in the right spirit… [youtube=http://youtu.be/jHuFslG6JAQ&w=512&rel=0] Hat tip to Ace of Spades HQ. Merry Christmas!
Matt Walsh’s blog post, "I can’t explain why we shouldn’t murder disabled children" caused quite a stir this week. This is not really something I want to submit on Christmas Eve, but I wanted to make sure I didn’t forget to post it and (come to think of it) it is apropos given we are…
Not a religious Christmas music performance, but entertaining… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fe11OlMiz8&w=512&rel=0] Hat tip Hot Air. Happy Christmas Eve everyone!
