In January of this year, after a great deal of convincing from my friend Chuck Meeks, I hopped on Amazon.com and purchased the items that were to form my shaving set: an Omega Stripey badger hair brush; a Colonel Conk Evernice hardwood stand; a Parker 86R double edge safety razor (complete with a set of [...]

In December of 2004, as a newlywed and recent college graduate, I felt like the world and its mysteries belonged to me. Having spent years studying such things as Greek; biblical, historical, and systematic theology; and philosophy I naively assumed that I had things all figured out. The following spring I would accept a call [...]

Vibram Five Finger Shoes: A Review

joshrhone — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:15:30 +0000

When I resumed running on August 24th, 2009, after a rather long hiatus, I did so as an informed individual. I researched running programs, techniques, and gear. Amid my research I came across an article on the Vibram Five Finger shoes. The article noted that running with Vibram’s Five Finger shoes was like running barefooted. [...]

survival of the fittest: Os Guinness on the relationship between truth and power

joshrhone — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:30:00 +0000

Last night I was reading A Place for Truth: Highlights from the Veritas Forum. One of the pieces that I read was entitled “A Time for Truth” and was contributed by Os Guinness. In the essay he claims that “without truth there is only manipulation.” [1] Initially, I was both intrigued and repulsed by this [...]

“Walking in the way of Christ is inherently relational. To follow Christ is to link up with God through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, and to link up with the ever-becoming people of God, the city on the hill.” ~Dwight Friesen Posted via email from joshrhone’s posterous Related Posts:ConvictionThe prophetic taskGod’s Departure

In a recent post, I mentioned that I had upgraded from my iPhone 3G to a Samsung Captivate. In that post I also mentioned that my experience with the Captivate had left me wanting more, so I returned the Captivate and have since returned to the land of Apple and my iPhone 3G. What I [...]

Review: Samsung Captivate

joshrhone — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 14:55:50 +0000

Two weeks ago I traded in my iPhone 3G for a Samsung Captivate. Initially, I was very impressed with the Captivate’s ease of setup. Configuring Gmail, syncing my calendar and contacts, and figuring out how to operate the Captivate was a breeze. This was no surprise since I was primarily sinking a smartphone running the [...]

Sex is sin… Sin is sex

Recently I wandered into a place that I haven’t visited for quite a while. As I walked through the door I was greeted by a familiar scene. Memories of yesteryear flooded back into my mind. Familiar music greeted my ears, as my eyes hurriedly scanned the room. Before me I found aisle upon aisle of [...]

God’s Departure

joshrhone — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 19:23:49 +0000

To admit that God can and will leave is to allow the dangerous taste of hope into otherwise stagnant waters. It is to admit that the life of the disciple is not sedentary but nomadic- moving on to where sustenance lies, not staying where sustenance once was. It is to appreciate that the journey of [...]

A New Place for Theological Dialogue and Discussion: “Wesleyan Theology Blog” and @theologyblog

joshrhone — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 16:36:58 +0000

Yesterday, I added to my links a new website, WesleyanTheoBlog, which is dedicated to theological dialogue and discussion on a variety of subjects from a Wesleyan-Arminian perspective. As someone who is an ordained Wesleyan pastor and has an interest in theological dialogue, I hope that the website and the discussions contained therein will take off [...]
