A Blaring Reason

Tolerence

Have you noticed that when you take a stand for your beliefs, you’re labeled as intolerant? They yell: ”There’s not absolute truth! What’s true for you is not true for me.” You’re absolute about no absolute? You’re intolerant of the intolerant? How different are you than what you claim me to be? Read about the relativists at ABC here. Get your [...]

Jesus’ Authority Questioned

Drew — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 18:07:15 +0000

It’s the Passion week. Sunday was the palm branches. Monday was the temple clearing (again). The Pharisees are pretty ticked by this point. Jesus claimed authority in the temple. This is Tuesday. Jesus is in the temple teaching, and the chief priests and the scribes are circling Him while He’s teaching. It appears that the supreme council [...]

Thoughts from Luke 16

Drew — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 16:21:36 +0000

Money money money. My use of money is a good test of the Lordship of Christ. Do I use my material goods to foster faith and obedience? Or does it serve my selfish gain? When I obey God’s will, the unselfish use of my stuff will follow. Money can quickly take God’s place in my life and become [...]

The Verses Many Christians Haven’t Read.

Drew — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:02:52 +0000

I know many Christians who seem to have never read this: Luke 3:8-9 (New Living Translation) Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create [...]

Twitter? What Happened?

Drew — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:40:41 +0000

Just to clarify: We had planned on doing an “experiment” in church this past Sunday, and all was well, until our filtering/display interface for Twitter hit a snag. Apparenetly, Twitter went under some maintenance and took a heavy hit last week with the Iran Election drama. In the process of their maintance, they updated their API, and that caused a [...]

Things I Don’t Like About Church: The Lazy Follower

Drew — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:52:12 +0000

I hate that painting of Jesus. You know, the one where He’s limp, passive, and nice looking. He’s just not like that when I read the Gospels. Then there’s the modern day “Christian”. The nice guy. The quiet guy. The whatever guy. In the passage below, Paul describes the Christian life with active and forceful words such [...]

Things I Don’t Like About Church: No Fruit

Drew — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 13:22:53 +0000

If you owned a business, would you keep an employee who doesn’t get any work done? No. If you were a gardener, would you keep a plant that didn’t produce a harvest? No. If you were an investor, would you keep an account that wasn’t growing and producing? No. I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve known some people [...]

I’m Not

Drew — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 11:03:25 +0000

You are never as great as you think you are, so don’t become prideful. And you are never as bad as you think you are, so don’t become crippled by insecurity. Simply give your best and be thankful that God has given you the opportunity to be a part of His great plan. Thanks Kent. [...]
