a different perspective from alan hartung on the emerging church, politics, faith, and life
Paul, I believe, wrote, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation.” Lately, I have been wondering if I am ashamed. Certainly I am ashamed of the large portion of the church here in the states who have sought political and financial gain as the [...]
I posted something about this awhile back, but it’s eating at me again. When you go to a movie theater, the ads should not be blaring so loud you cannot have a conversation. While it is a little more inconvenient, I have decided only to go to a theater in Hollywood which is a little [...]
Simplicity is a word that strikes fear into my heart. Strange as that sounds, it’s true. Although I live much more simply than many in this materialistic world, I am not sure this is a virtue for me as much as a necessity for the vocational pursuits I have chosen (feast or famine in the [...]

An interesting take on American Evangelicalism from down under.
I have been more politically minded lately, but honestly it is not because I think politics are the answer. I once asked someone if everything he wanted politically and legally were to happen in an instant, would the Kingdom of God actually be [...]

I first came across Robert Mulholland in college for a class called, “Foundations of Ministry.” It was really a life discipleship class. His book, “An Invitation to a Journey,” is an incredible resource for discovering what types of spiritual disciplines will most help you in your own unique personality type. It is excellent.

A friend of mine pointed me to this entertaining graphic. I’m not saying I would pin Jesus down politically, but I think the point is made…

Greetings all! I am no longer using Blogger, as I bought my own dedicated server (www.socalwebsites.com), and my security settings wouldn’t let blogger post. Rather than modify the settings, I chose to use some of the open source blogging software out there I have auto-installable on my server. So far… I love it. Expect to [...]
