Exclamation point of fire

An Exclamation Point Society (and Church)

Posted on March 5, 2016 by Alan

As I was driving Augie to our monthly-ish haircut and our weekly Saturday morning breakfast together and reflecting on a Twitter friend saying a popular pastor committed blasphemy… It hit me that, at least on social media (and it seems elsewhere), we are an “exclamation point society.” Nobody just misspeaks, they LIE!!! Nobody just interprets…

Gazing into the Face of the Tone Police

Posted on January 31, 2015January 31, 2015 by Alan

Looking for an image on iClipart (a service I highly recommend) for a different article, I ran into one which, sadly, does aptly portray how some who claim to be officers in the Tone Police behave: If I have ever acted that way (or even come off that way), I apologize. However, just like the un-Christlike tone…

Theological Debate Advice from Data

Posted on January 19, 2015 by Alan

Here is some theological debate advice from Star Trek Next Generation’s sentient android, Data: [youtube=http://youtu.be/yIRT6xRQkf8?w=512&rel=0] Test it. Don’t try to “win” the debate. Stay civil throughout. See what happens. P.S. And notice how Data behaves even after, not trying to “win”…he “wins”… Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is…

Cast Out

Posted on January 18, 2015 by Alan

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…

“A good word for #the15…but Fahrner left out Ephesians 5:11”

Posted on January 3, 2015 by Alan

The Laodicean Report gives a quick review of “My Advice for #the15” page: “A good word for #the15…but Fahrner left out Ephesians 5:11” Good news is that I may not have included Ephesians 5:11, but I sure agree with it. 🙂 Thanks for reading and reviewing it @laodiceanreport! P.S. And no qualms with “the LR editors have…

The Tone Police are Christians who encourage those who “speak the truth in love” to emulate the Tone Police Commissioner, Jesus Christ, while doing so. You can read more about…and join…the new force at TonePolice.org. P.S. Although its “work” is serious, we officers of…

My Advice for #the15

Posted on December 31, 2014January 3, 2015 by Alan

For Christians, the Christmas season is truly a time for meditation about (and thankfulness for) the Incarnation…and ultimately…the Cross. This year, however, Christmas week was also the occasion for the formation of a new “we’re not gonna take it anymore” group, #the15. (The name is based on the Twitter hashtag it is leveraging.) Who are #the15? These…

Giving Up Snarkiness

Posted on December 15, 2013January 3, 2015 by Alan

There is an article worthy of a read from Megan McArdle about "Why [She Tries] Not to Write Bad Reviews." A key part of what she says: But that’s not actually the main reason I avoid it. The main reason I avoid the joys of snarky takedowns is that it’s not very good for you….

Narrowing Down Our Responsibilities I assume most of us here today are very familiar with the story of the good Samaritan. To conserve time we won’t read it all, but let’s turn together to Luke 10:25-29 and see what led up to it: 25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test,…

Christian Snarkiness

Posted on January 19, 2013January 3, 2015 by Alan

Although I think this is also applicable outside a Christian context, ultimately it's appeal to certain Judeo-Christian mores may limit its relevance to non-Christians. Throughout web and podcast dialogue it has become popular to be snarky toward people and/or views that one significantly disagrees with. I use the word "snarky" in the context of my…
