It’s been a while. I can’t seem to focus enough to write. I’ve got a lot of thoughts but I just can’t seem to piece them together into something that wouldn’t be completely misunderstood.
In the mean time, I’ll just ask an informal question:
Q. Are you married and also have “close friends” — either as a [...]

Have you ever felt like you have special revelation that no one else has? A special knowledge that if used properly then things will work out the way you want? Information that gives you a certain sense of power? That makes you feel privileged, viewing everyone else as poor blind little ants wondering about, [...]

I did something last night that I haven’t done in a LONG time. I broke out the Ouija Board — just kidding, I don’t even have one. I sat down and sorted out Halloween candy — lollipops, Reeses, Snickers, Smarties, etc. With all the different Fall Festivals, parties, and trick or treating this year, we [...]

I got drawn into watching a bunch of Halloween specials about hauntings and exorcism on the Discovery Channel last night. The whole “time change” thing messed me up too. I justified staying up late watching TV because I gained a whole extra hour of rest — makes sense to me.
One of the specials [...]

Last night on Nightline the topic was Rwanda. A reporter went back to the very spot he visited just 11 years ago. They replayed the footage from his previous visit to a large refugee camp. There was death and pain for as far as the eye could see. There were trucks dumping corpses into mass [...]

Homeschooling and private school are a big deal in Christian circles these days and is discussed often as most of our friends are parents of young children. I recently realized that I don’t have problems with the idea of homeschooling itself — as there are numerous benefits. I just subscribe to a different philosophy of [...]

I have spent way too much mental energy on the question of, “Should a Christ-follower watch movies, read books, or have anything to do with the idea of magic in fiction?” that Eric posed earlier this week. My final answer is buried down in 40 something comments so I just wanted to highlight it here [...]

So the Monday after my daughter’s Cinderella/Princess birthday party Eric asked a question that really got my brain processing. In my quest to be objective I ran across another question that is a complete rabbit trail but something I have never thought about.
What would happen to the soul in the teleportation process? If technology could [...]

So now that you know where I’m coming from in my previous post, here’s the real question.
Where are the works and fruit that are to be evidence of our faith? I would say that most people that can show their fruit are serving in regards to the local church. Just as God called the Levites [...]

Certain questions tell a lot about the person asking them. Whenever the question of faith v/s works comes up someone always seems to end up asking a question having to do with how much obedience is actually required to be a Christian. As if maybe we could nail down a minimum percentage of [...]
