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 [...]
Yesterday, I discussed a bit about our notion that music is the equivalency of worship, and how this has become a predominant belief (whether admitted or not) in church culture. I had a good conversation with a couple friends on that today, and they brought up some interesting points, which I’ll probably explore at a [...]
So, every few months we manage to find one post and it creates some massive waves around the emergent/ing blogosphere. We (at this point in time I speak for emergenT) seem to really like the posts that have to do with emergent dying. I wrote one of those myself (unfortunetely all the comments were lost [...]
To make this completely straightforward, I actually “go” to a “church” nearly every Sunday, and play guitar (and occasionally sing…) for a Fourth and Fifth grade section of the childrens ministry. I do not, however, attend church services. The last time I did, it was on a whim after we got done playing for the [...]
As much as I (often) don’t like to, I can admit when I’m wrong. I was acting rather heady in the comments section of the previous post, betrayal, where I essentially clung to the stance “I don’t care if God told me to do it, I would never kill.” For the record, I still completely [...]
I really need to quit with the dualist titles. After a conversation with my best friend about the film and this post, I feel I should clarify- Take this more as a review than an indictment on those who liked it, or the entirety of the genre in general. My best friend had some other [...]
A lot has been said, at least in the circle I run in, about the Pew Forum study on the approval of torture. Most of what I have read is a condemnation of Evangelicals for their apparent lack of moral standing on the issue. Beyond that first topic I’ve also read calls from evangelicals to [...]
Fundamentalism, one of my favorite topics. Well, maybe not favorite, in fact, I don’t really spend too much time on it (or do I?). I have given some though recently to a comparison between Islamic and christian fundamentalism, and i’ve come to the (perhaps silly) that islamic fundamentalists may indeed be smarter than there Christian [...]
That phrase seems to be thrown around a lot lately, claims of having a higher view of scripture. The first thing that strikes you is the idea that, in order to have something be higher, there must be a lower object with which the higher is being compared. This comparison could be between where the [...]
