Someone shared some teaching yesterday that has really disturbed me. Before I get into it let me just say I know I’ll get some heat for this. I know I’m pointing a finger. I know I’m pushing buttons. I know I’ll get blacklisted by some. I’m gonna be okay with that I think. I’m going [...]
From the yes-we-have-lost-touch file, I introduce JesusWeen. When I saw this at Gawker I figured, okay hoped, certainly they must be mistaken or just poking fun. Nope. It’s real. And it’s stupid. Listen, I know many/some/all have written Halloween off as evil. And in fact I too believe there are some things about Halloween that [...]
I’m in need of your advise, experience, etc. My son is entering his senior year of high school, that means it’s time to start taking a serious look at colleges. We’re looking at a bible college as he is going to be a pastor. note: we gave him every chance to back out, change his [...]

Sounds like a real experience to me…just what he prayed [...]

First it was God’s Gym T-shirts, then Testamints and now…’christian’ dog leashes, dog tags and more! Is there no end to the things we will sell with a cross on it? Folks, it’s tacky and silly…not two words that should be associated with God.
I was first introduced to Rob Bell through his Nooma videos, which I think are outstanding and serve as catalysts for great conversations. I’ve heard him speak at both “everything is spiritual” and his most recent “the gods aren’t angry” and I’ve read parts of Velvet Elvis. I love that Rob Bell will challenge with [...]
