Marriott protest in Oakland

Should Christians…?

Posted on October 15, 2018October 15, 2018 by Alan

Okay. Please set aside your political leanings. Pretend you have no clue about what these folks are potesting: If you are a Christian, should you have been part of this protest? Why or why not? Now, let’s just stipulate that it is for a genuinely good cause. To support the downtrodden. To right a major…

“You Keep Lyin’ When You Oughta Be Truthin’”

Posted on March 11, 2018March 25, 2018 by Alan

“These Boots Were Made for Walkin’” Ideas for sermons come from all kinds of things…although I’ll admit I especially like it when folks ask for me to preach on a topic. However, music is often what puts a topic into my head, although sometimes it is tangental to the subject of the song itself. This…

He Allegedly Did It Again I want everyone to know that I actually decided on the subject of this sermon before President Donald Trump allegedly decided to use an obscene word to describe some countries. I find it interesting that so many in society that warranted this talk are now acting so aghast at his…

When the Mob Comes

Posted on January 29, 2017 by Alan

What Is a Mob? What is a mob? How would you define it? My Mac’s dictionary describes it as… a large crowd of people, especially one that is disorderly and intent on causing trouble or violence: a mob of protesters. You can see that it technically can just be “a large crowd of people”…but I…

Who Would You Kill?

Posted on January 22, 2017January 29, 2017 by Alan

Thou Shalt Not Kill We are going to jump right into Scripture today, starting with Exodus 20:13. Although I normally use the English Standard Version, I’m going to quote from the King James Version since its translation is the way I learned this commandment: 13 Thou shalt not kill. Pretty straight forward, right? What shouldn’t you…

How Do You Treat Your Friends?

Posted on March 25, 2015March 23, 2015 by Alan

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…

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…

Better Watch Out…Here Come the Tone Police!

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

Traditores is proud to announce the formation of the Tone Police! 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…

The Shocking Truth About the Christian God

Posted on November 15, 2014November 15, 2014 by Alan

He exists. Now, if you are a Christian you already believed that, so it’s not so shocking, eh? If you aren’t a Christian, you don’t believe it anyway. In either case, don’t you feel the article’s title makes this post bait-and-switch? You were promised something amazing and got quite the opposite. You have every reason…

Getting from Point A to Point B

Posted on October 25, 2014 by Alan

This is cross-posted on qm101.co blog…but I think it is applicable in a Christian context too… I’ve used this analogy at home and at work to encourage people to keep their “eye on the prize.” You want to get from point A to point B. You should be able to go in a straight line….

In Defense of Braxton (I.E. What I Think About Ergun Caner)

Posted on July 3, 2014August 11, 2014 by Alan

July 29, 2014 update: WordPress notified me that my site had a large increase in traffic today. Checking the stats, it was this post specifically. Not too much later I read on Twitter the likely reason: Braxton Caner is reported to have committed suicide. My heart aches. Pray for Jill and Egun Caner, their family…

Learning to Fly

Posted on December 22, 2013December 22, 2013 by Alan

Training Wheels For Augie’s birthday this past August we purchased a new bicycle for him. His old one was getting a bit small, and a bike is always a great gift in my book. After having no luck at Dick’s Sporting Goods, Augie found one at Target he liked—I suspect the neon-like green on it…

Complimenting mom

Yeah, Well, Consider the Source

Posted on December 8, 2013 by Alan

Bad Compliments What is the worst compliment you've ever gotten? Does that seem like a strange question? Doesn't it seem like I should be asking, "What is the best compliment you've ever received?" Well, before I did some quick research on compliments I didn't realize just how many categories of bad compliments there are. For…

Canadian Bands Those of you who made it to church last Sunday know that for my sermons this month I am using secular (that is, non-Christian) songs as fodder for sermons. This week we look to our neighbors up north, Canada, for inspiration. How many here can name a Canadian band our musical artist? Other…
