In Leviticus 5:17-19 (ESV) & Leviticus 6:2 (ESV), we see that God is ever present (i.e., omnipresent) in our lives. This includes, according to these two passages, when one fails to fulfill one’s obligations to others. This includes when one “finds” things that were “lost”. When one’s obligations to others are not fulfilled, according to… Continue reading Breaching Faith With God, By Breaching Faith With Others

What Do You See When You Look At…
With the celebration of the birthday of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr, we see where Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. is used to bolster movements and causes that he did not specifically speak on. For example, in Raleigh-Durham, NC, a gay rights activist is torqued that a pastor who preaches a historical understanding of the… Continue reading What Do You See When You Look At…
Natural Disasters and Hell
No, I’m not talking about Pat Robertson’s latest “wisdomâ€. What I am talking about is human nature. Specifically, I am talking about the all too human nature of Christians, especially “Western†“Civilization†Christians. I do not decry anyone that seeks to give to help that nation. We did. In fact, I believe it is part… Continue reading Natural Disasters and Hell
Even Religious People Have Different Views?
Shocking! (sarcasm) Surveys: U.S. Religious Activists Have ‘Widely Divergent’ Views As much as I like some of the content on ChristianPost.com, today we have another article (see this post for another) which is too vague to be useful, other than to draw gross conclusions that can only be divisive, rather than edifying. I really hate… Continue reading Even Religious People Have Different Views?
Do Christians Believe in Redemption (i.e., a new creation) or Not?
I saw this headline, Ky. Church Ordains Registered Sex Offender, a few days ago, and was finally able to read it. And, I finally decided to actually post something on my blog, rather than twitter. I have to say this brief article causes me no small amount of anguish. I cannot imagine what both the… Continue reading Do Christians Believe in Redemption (i.e., a new creation) or Not?

Prosperity Gospel Hyperbole
I know Christianity today was just trying to get a rise with this, The Real Prosperity Gospel, but Christianity has enough problems with the prosperity gospel, that for them to do this strikes me as irresponsible. Just my $0.02 (worth even less now than is used to be)
Change Your Name…Because We Say So
In the article, Name Not on Our List? Change It, China Says, the New York Times doesn’t recognize (or know, probably) that most governments within the United States (including the federal government) may not try to force a person to change their name, but they won’t recognize your full name if the name is longer… Continue reading Change Your Name…Because We Say So
Poverty of Connections
@timoreilly In NY Times, @page88 sums up @bruces #sxsw talk as “Connectivity is poverty.” Profound. Worth thinking about: http://bit.ly/w1IQj Not sure that I agree. I think Bruce Sterling wants to be the “country gentleman” of his mind, not reality. Who wants to have shallow relationships, especially masquerading as deep ones? There are stories upon stories… Continue reading Poverty of Connections
Are You Sure You Want His Picture to Adorn (whatever)
“All political power comes from the barrel of a gun.” — Mao Tse Tung This certainly does not fit into admirerers of Mao political philosophy. There are two things here. Mao would indeed seem to bolster the 2nd Admendment supporters (oh, dear, a COMMUNIST). I also don’t agree with him. Ultimately, all power is the… Continue reading Are You Sure You Want His Picture to Adorn (whatever)
