To recap: Pt 1: Worship Pt. 2: Apologetics Pt 3: Wave Making pt 4: (down with) Sola Scriptura! Today is the final day, Part Five: Remerging (into) Church. Towards the end of each post, I’ve given a reason (or two) in which the evangelical church can improve, I have not, however, really given any reason [...]

Pt 1: Worship. Pt 2: Apologetics. Pt 3: Wave Making Pt 4: Sola Scriptura! (by the way, if you know where that picture is from, then you spend too much time on sites that are bad for your health!) This is the only doctrinal reason that I find myself seeking separation from the evangelical church. [...]

Today’s post is on “Failure to be the change”, part one was on “Worship“, and part two was on “Apologetics” A few years ago I went to a Passion concert thingy. It was back when Louie Giglio was still the 7:22 guy, and Passion was a once a year thing. They had recorded this CD [...]

It’s been a crazy day, we’ve heard lots of voices chime in on the “Disappointed Emergent” issue, it’s been a bit overwhelming to see them all. I’ve done my best to read through them, as well as the subsequent comments, and I’ve come to the conclusion this conversation was necessary. It was needed. That does [...]

I was a bit surprised at the number of responses I got from my first post entitled “Drawing Lines,” I have a few regular commenters (all of whom I greatly appreciate and your comments influence me more than I let on), but I had quite a few different/new voices respond to me in that post. [...]

I have the pleasure of being part of quite an interesting cohort.
