I Am A Follower

By ⋅ January 29, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

I have to admit, I had high expectations for this book.  The beginning starts out strangely—it asks you to watch a YouTube video and then introduces you to the concept of being a follower, specifically, the first follower. The author then states that Jesus is like the first dancer shown in the video, and that [...]

Sexual Sin and the Church

By ⋅ December 21, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

She is sleeping with her boyfriend, left the church because they were going to discipline her, should they follow through with the public announcement? That is the situation a church in Florida found itself in this past week as a woman in the church first confessed to a woman in her Bible Study that she [...]

What Would Jesus Do?

By ⋅ August 11, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Such a great marketing gimmick, eh?  I mean, for a question with such an easy answer: But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. … Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: [...]

4 Ways Christ Speaks to Us Today

By ⋅ August 6, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

All of you that believe that God still speaks to us today, raise your hands.  Hmm…  Perhaps that wasn’t such a good idea since I can’t see if your hands are raised. I’m not talking about an audible voice or that kind of speaking, but all Christians should believe that God still speaks today (after [...]

Christ is the Head

By ⋅ August 4, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

At Bob Jones University they do not have fraternities or sororities, but they do have societies—and everyone is a part of one.  I joined one that wasn’t Greek, it was named after a great statesmen: William Jennings Bryan. Our society verse was Colossians 1:18: And he is the head of the body, the church: who [...]

In All Things Christ

By ⋅ August 1, 2008 ⋅ 5 comments

There’s a famous dilemma that’s called the Chicken and the Egg dilemma. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. It goes, “Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg?” For the Christian, the answer is simple—the chicken was created with the fouls on day 5. Inside this discussion, however, is a very important truth. When it comes [...]

The Passion Review

By ⋅ March 15, 2004 ⋅ 5 comments

Well, I saw the passion this past Friday. Here are some random thoughts: Is the Devil really a woman? That was the first time I thought of Jesus being roughed up on the way to trial. What was up with the kids that turned into evil beings chasing Judas? and the evil looking child the [...]

The Passion Movie

By ⋅ February 23, 2004 ⋅ Post a comment

What do you think? Is the movie good or bad? I guess I am perplexed. For the months leading up to this movie event, I’ve been excited about someone portraying the last few hours before the Crucifixion in detail, someone staying true to the Gospel accounts. Any why shouldn’t I? I mean, in a society [...]

The Passion of the Christ

By ⋅ February 17, 2004 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s interesting to read about Mel Gibson’s movie. It coincides with some evidence I have been reading about the Bible and its veracity. I have been thinking a lot about the times of the writings of the Scriptures– what was going on, what they were doing, the structure. What would have it been like to [...]

Authority of Christ

By ⋅ February 16, 2004 ⋅ One comment

This past weekend we were over watching the movie Time Changers and it reminded me about separating the authority of Christ from moral discussions. In the last post, I talked about homosexuality and homosexual marriage. Since then, hundreds of gay couples have lined up and / or gotten married in San Fransisco. When discussing this [...]
