In this day of pop-theology, and instant labels, everyone is claiming to be a Berean. It’s going too far! This madness is the world’s thinking, and we need to reject this latest fad of clamoring to be called a ‘Berean’. I suggest we abandon the whole paradigm. After all, there’s no book in the Bible […]

When Is He Coming? I find discussions about Christ’s Second Coming to be interesting. Jesus tells us to watch for Him, be ready for Him, comfort one another with these thoughts, know the signs of the times, etc. So it’s only natural that many Christians get excited about the topic. What’s kinda fun is that […] Remember the story of Jesus casting demons out of the crazy man in Luke 8? The demons freak out that Jesus is there because it’s not time for them to be tormented by Him yet. They ask Him if they can enter some nearby pigs, and He lets them. It’s a weird story, but it’s […] A friend of mine showed me a new TShirt that he bought. It had a Christian(ish) message to it, and was made to look like a popular video game. In fact, you’d have to look pretty close to see that it wasn’t the popular video game. Why do marketers do this? And why do so […] The following “Widows and Orphans Assistance Program” application form was recently discovered in Selcuk, Turkey, at the archeological site for the ancient city of Ephesus. The exact dating is uncertain, but it appears to date back to approximately 80 AD. Skeptics have raised concerns about its validity, claiming that it is likely for a cult […] The other day I heard someone ask another person “Are you born again?” That strikes me as curious question. As any Bible student would quickly point out, the Bible uses a wide variety of figures of speech to refer to a person that’s been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. One wonders why some metaphors get […] Pastor Rob Bell’s new book, “Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived” is lighting up the blogosphere, and for good reason. He attempts to overturn centuries of established Biblical doctrine with a thought-provoking, artistic flair. He started the firestorm by producing a video trailer of his […] Here’s an interesting little doodad that shows where this site’s visitors are coming from. Click on the map to see a larger image. Thought that was interesting. If you want to know what a Virtuous Woman does, Proverbs 31 is a good place to start. But what if you want to know what a Virtuous Woman says? There are at least four prayers/songs of virtuous women in the Bible. For whatever reason, their words largely go untouched in contemporary Christendom. I think […] This DIY beauty dish has been made by lots of people, and details can be found all over the ‘net. Start with David Tajeda’s site (http://davidtejada.blogspot.com/2008/04/beauty-dish-for-sb-800.html). His dish makes a lot of good sense, and mine only varies slightly from his, so read his site before continuing. I tried HD, Garden Ridge, WalMart and several […] |
