Traitors for Christ
I saw three interesting articles on the Internet today. The first says there is no way to prove there is a God: “Why God Cannot Be Proven: A Star Trek Argument” Basically, it claims you can always posit that anything that seems supernatural is actually just a smarter alien using non-supernatural means that seem magical…
I lead my church’s tween/teen class, and I’ve been trying new approaches to keep the Bible studies interesting. The latest addition to my repertoire is personal erasable boards. Although they are for other purposes (that I may explain someday in another post), I allow the kids to doodle…and their team can get points for good…
I had an interesting interaction with Penn Jillette this afternoon. Thoughts about our Twitter dialogue? Is he right, am I right, or are we both wrong? What the Psychic Showed Me – The New York Times I could only skim this it an d it still broke my heart. Hateful. http://t.co/Zzbi6NUOA3 — Penn Jillette (@pennjillette)…
I’ve developed some great friendships on Twitter. Wait! What does that say about me if I develop most of my friendships when limited to 140 characters or less?! 🙂 Either way, I’ve developed some great friendships on Twitter, and one of the folks I appreciate most is Jeffrey Guterman, whose Twitter profile describes him as…
This is a post that I meant to write three weeks and a few days ago. Although the company I work for is great, conditions as of late have made me feel I have little control of my fate—that I am trapped by circumstances. I am sure I could have done certain things more effectively, but…
I have a lot of concern about Christians who, in my opinion, treat others in an un-Christlike manner when calling for accountability or discernment. If they get taken to task on social media, I am less than empathetic. If anything, I enjoy them being zapped. Then… I developed friendships with a few of them. When those…
This is a post I really don’t want to write, but also think must be written. Generally averse to controversy, I recently stepped foot into what might be considered unfriendly territory. Inhospitable…not because I disagree with those who hold that land (in many ways I’m entirely in sync)…but because many who inhabit its hills and…
There aren’t many articles I would consider a must read, but this one by Daniel Greenfield fits that category: “The Importance of Blasphemy” You really should take the time to digest Greenfield’s piece, but I’ll at least share the quote that inspired how I titled this post: In a multi-religious society, in which every religion…
There are times when the word “but” should never occur in a sentence. One of them is when apologizing. Just apologize. Don’t say, “I’m sorry, but…” Well, unless you really aren’t apologizing. Another time to not use the word “but” is when someone murders someone else. For instance, say, when radical Islamist terrorists kill 12…
If you click on the image you can see a larger version of this entry from the Tone Police Manual (1 Corinthians 13:4-7): You can read more about the Tone Police here. (The complete Tone Police Manual is readily available…it’s the Bible. :-))
Okay, okay…I know this wasn’t the intent of this “Sundays with Snoopy” strip, but…come on…doesn’t it sort of fit Proverbs 26:17? 🙂 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears (English Standard Version). If you click on the image it’ll bring you to the…
Another Thanksgiving has past, which means I can openly listen to Christmas music again! Time now for my yearly list of Christmas album “must haves”…which is alway last year’s with some tweaks. I mean, you don’t honestly expect my taste in Christmas music to change drastically year-to-year do you?! 🙂 Now…before I unveil this year’s…
I am a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas music, but I am very proud to break that habit with the addition of five songs by Cloverton to the Countdown2.Christmas Radio playlist. I’m sure a lot of it is Lance Stafford’s unique voice, but I can’t say enough about how the whole band takes Christmas…
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. 🙂
