I just posted this on my sister blog, AI: Alan Intelligence: “Why We Love the Church” Slides with verses from a recent sermon by Steve Camp.

Video of the Week
The video of the week this time is for Father’s Day 2016…my good friend David Britt singing “A Father’s Prayer”: [youtube=https://youtu.be/AfizpqNdOiM&rel=0&w=512] And yes, I know I don’t do a video a week. 🙂 Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
Christmas Album “Must Haves” (2015 Version)
I seem to do this post later and later each holiday season…but I did start listening to Christmas music earlier in 2015! 🙂 Either way, here is my annual “Christmas Album ‘Must Haves.’” Year-to-year it doesn’t vary much, but I’ve added a few, reorganized a bit, and made sure the links are up-to-date. Also, everything I mention here…
The Gospel According to Colt Ford
Introduction During this second opportunity…I should say blessing…the Lord has given me to stand in this pulpit, I am going to do something I am famous…or infamous :-)…for doing at the church in Antrim, New Hampshire I pastored. I am going to preach a sermon based on a popular song. Now, don’t get me wrong,…
My Advice for #the15
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…
“Then pealed the bells more loud and deep…”
Thanks to a version done by Cloverton, “I Heard the Bells” has become my favorite Christmas hymn. Researching the song a bit I learned that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s original poem (“Christmas Bells”) differs a bit from what we sing. I like his poem better; it stops where it should: I heard the bells on Christmas…
I Do Not Remember…
Mark, I do not remember how it was to live with you the first five years of my life… But I do remember you spanking me—not as cruel torture by a decade older brother—but as a kind sibling helping his frequently-disciplined younger brother no longer feel pain when he got spanked by his parents. Mark,…
A Johnny Cash Christmas
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!
“Judge orders baker to serve gay couples despite his religious beliefs”
Ominous words: "While we all agree that religious freedom is important, no one’s religious beliefs make it acceptable to break the law by discriminating against prospective customers," ACLU staff attorney Amanda Goad said in a statement. "No one is asking Masterpiece’s owners to change his beliefs, but treating gay people differently because of who they…
The Result of Double Faith
Between a couple trips through all 66 (and Bible studying) I've read every word in Scripture more than once, yet I still run into stuff I don't ever remember seeing before. Sure, it could just be that I've got an awful memory, but instead it seems to me that God's written word is like a…
tune.tradio.in and tradio.in
Once again I’ve stayed up to late playing :-), but out of it you now can take advantage of two short URLs that are easy to remember: tune.tradio.in — a smart phone-friendly page with a simple Traditores Radio player embedded in it that should work in any browser that supports JavaScript and Flash or HTML5…
