Tuesday, August 7th, 2007I have tried, over the past week, to generate a few different posts on a few different topics, but found that I couldn’t bring myself to write them. I think, in looking back, that the reason for this grew out of the fact that they were all sort of interconnected in a way I hadn’t [...]
An Anti-Christian Christianity
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007My friends, it has again been a long time. I think I find that some posts just flow from my fingers, while others take time to germinate and grow in my mind. With this latter type of post, I feel - as I have always felt, with many projects and pursuits throughout my life, to [...]
With “Friends” like these . . . (UPDATED with Video)
Friday, July 13th, 2007One of the last few remaining institutions of government that reminds us the First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion, rather than freedom from religion, is the morning prayer held in the U.S. Senate. Over the two centuries of our country’s history, this prayer has predominantly been offered by Christians of some stripe or other, though [...]
Living with Desire
Friday, July 13th, 2007As you may or may not have noticed, I’m taking a page from my wife’s blog with the title of this post. I was prompted to write about it by a running email conversation with my dad over something in another recent post of mine. I recalled a conversation with my best friend Nate from [...]
Ocean’s 37
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007It seems like every time I post in the last couple months, I’m apologizing for not posting very much. Even now, it’s been a few weeks since I last wrote anything here.
This time, I’m not apologizing, though I do think a bit of an explanation is in order.
Writing, for me, is a way of processing [...]
Created for Life; Created for Choice
Friday, June 8th, 2007One of the mysteries that will probably forever occupy the human mind is the question, “Why are we here?”
For a believer, this means asking the question, “Why were we created?”
Theologians have been coming up with any number of answers for as long as there has been theology - and probably longer.
If we take things back [...]
Regrets
Friday, June 1st, 2007My dear wife wrote a post this evening on the importance of regret. While this sounds counterintuitive at first, it’s quite a fascinating concept to explore. She and I worked very hard during the course of our dating relationship, and particularly when beginning to plan our wedding, to capture as best we could each of [...]
The Trap of the Certain
Friday, May 18th, 2007Well, I’m back - back from a week in California with my family and several close friends, and back from two weeks in Indiana on a work-related trip.
It’s been a very insightful three weeks. I feel as though I’m bursting at the seams with topics to write about, but I seem to be having trouble [...]
Apology for light posting . . .
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007Sorry about the lack of much in the way of new material over the past week or so. Unfortunately, posting will continue to be light over the next couple weeks. We were on vacation to California last week, and for the next two weeks I’ll be gone on a business trip. As a result, I [...]
The Market-Driven Church
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007I just got through reading a very moving story posted at “We are in Jesus.” It’s a post on how we believers tend to market our churches, rather than sharing our God with those who do not know Him. It’s a story of believers who had an opportunity to offer new life to someone hurting, and [...]
