The Problem of Pain book cover

“Nonsense Remains Nonsense Even When We Talk it About God”

Posted on May 23, 2016 by Alan

I started C.S. Lewis’ The Problem of Pain today on a flight to Honolulu. Now, before you get envious, it is for work. However, I sill stipulate that there are far worse places and things to do for work. 🙂 In either case, it is yet another thought-provoking work by him, and I am sure…

May These Sad Words Never Be Said of You

Posted on May 17, 2016 by Alan

As I continue through a very painful part of Scripture (where we generally hear about how unfaithful the kings of Israel and Judah were), I ran into something I hope will never be said of you (or me): [Jehoram] was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And…

I Am Ordinary

Posted on May 11, 2016May 14, 2016 by Alan

Ordinary. I’ll never walk with God like Enoch. I’ll never be as righteous as Noah. I’ll never match the meekness of Moses. I’ll never show the fearlessness of Daniel. I’ll never develop a heart like David. I’ll never attain the wisdom of Solomon. I’ll never have a voice in the widnerness like John. I’ll never…

When Your Death Shows God’s Favor

Posted on April 30, 2016 by Alan

I’m reading through the Bible again this year and a couple weeks ago I ran into an interesting section. My instinct is to consider God having a person die early is a bad sign…e.g. Ananias and Sapphira (see Acts 5). Basically, early death by God’s decree = bad. To quickly catch you up for a clear…

When Kings (Should) Go Off to War

Posted on April 17, 2016May 18, 2016 by Alan

Greetings It has been waaaaaaaay too long since Michelle, Augie, and I have been here at the Antrim Church of Christ…and as I typed up my sermon notes I knew I could confidently say how great it is to see you all. We may live 2,000 miles away for now, but you are still our…

Arguments from Silence

Posted on April 3, 2016April 3, 2016 by Alan

A couple days ago a friend of mine tweeted this: I know there are many faithful men who have “multi-campus” video churches,I just don’t see Scripture that allows for pastor who’s not there. My response was: But it also doesn’t directly speak against it. I think, however, it goes against the scriptural motif. Personally, I…

Polls Won’t Matter When You Stand Before God

Posted on March 26, 2016March 26, 2016 by Alan

I suppose you could consider its title trolling, but I clicked through on “Science Is a Good Substitute for God.” The article’s final line (other than a disclosure from the author that he’s been an atheist since his teens) is: It turns out that people who rely upon the efficacy of the human intellect to solve…

Defining Sin So You Cannot Commit It

Posted on March 20, 2016March 20, 2016 by Alan

This post is a collection of musings based on how the world seems to be interacting right now, especially on social media. Hopefully it won’t seem too disjointed. 🙂 #1 — If you are a Christian, everything else is secondary to our Lord and His commands. That statement is the most important thing you’ll read in…

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…

“Is It Okay to Be Mean to a Bad Person”

Posted on March 2, 2016 by Alan

A month or so ago my little guy, Augie, asked me, “Is it okay to be mean to a bad person?” How would you answer that? Not just “yes” or “no”…but what would be your reasoning for your response? I cannot remember exactly what I told him (my memory is not that good), but it…

Jeg Er Alan (or, “What’s in a Name?”)

Posted on February 28, 2016February 28, 2016 by Alan

Over a month ago I had a very depressing call with a Christian minister who asked me to remove all references and links to his church from this Traditores web site and my personal Twitter account? Why? Because both the name Traditores and my Twitter handle (AlanCult) could be misunderstood. He suggested I consider changing…

The latest entry in the Tone Police Manual is thanks to the political season. If you think one of the candidates is the spawn of Satan, please consider the following before you change those thoughts into word:

Now that You Have Blown It

New Year’s Resolutions We are 10 days into the new year…and here is hoping that it has started off great for everyone sitting here in front of me. I know the Lord continues to bless my family and me in 2016. How many of you made New Year’s resolutions? [Wait for hands to raise.] Anyone…

Episode 8 – Heaping Burning Coals (Part 3 of 3)

Posted on January 1, 2016January 1, 2016 by Alan

Welcome Welcome to the eighth installment of Traditores Higher Frequency. This week we have the third of three episodes related to the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California that left 14 dead and 21 wounded in early December of 2015. When such a horrible act is committed, how should we react toward the perpetrators? Before…

Proud dad alert. 🙂 This video of the week is a euphonium improvisation that my son, Michael Fahrner, played this morning at church: [youtube=https://youtu.be/DEqCrXld8uo&rel=0&w=512]

Traditores needs some spring cleaning, which we'll slowly do over the winter and spring. Thank you for your patience...
