Open Christianity vs. Open Handed Gospel

March 29th, 2008

I was struggling with the problem of Open Christianity and the need of Scriptural Discipline when I received my April issue of Christianity Today. There in black and white was a short article by Richard Mouw about the Open Handed Gospel. And I thought, well, here’s some answers. But as I read [...]

I need a laugh!-update

March 29th, 2008

After I meditate on the Lord, pray a lot, eat my breakfast and have my morning java, each Monday I go the icanhascheezburger.com for my weekly laugh. I really recommend this therapy to those who really hate Monday mornings.
For the rest of the week I sneak a peak at this web site and also [...]

Regarding TIME Mag.

March 22nd, 2008

I find that TIME mag was once considered the most liberal magazine around for many years but I have found that is the most open regarding Religion of any of the secular publications today. The March 24, 2008 issue is no exception. It is well worth your while to read it, in particular, [...]

Daylight Saving?

March 9th, 2008

Why does man want to play God with daylight savings time? This inane practice only messes up my internal clock, makes people late to church, and confuses my cat. We can’t change the number of hours of daylight. The earth still circles the sun at the same rate. We don’t save [...]

Farewell to Melissa

March 8th, 2008

On March 1, 2008 a young lady named Melisa was tragically killed. She was the daughter of a cousin of my wife and a very special person. While we had not seen much of her during her young life, to know her for a moment is to know her your whole life long.
Melissa [...]

Psalm 119: 41-48/ Wau (Vav)

January 26th, 2008

For, Yahweh, visited by your love
and saving help, as you have promised,
I can find an answer to the insults,
since I rely on your word.
Do not deprive me of that faithful word,
since my hope has always lain in your rulings.
Let me observe your Law unfailingly
for ever and ever.
So, having sought your precepts,
I shall walk in all [...]

Perseverance

December 10th, 2007

Found this over at PhotoJulia.com and wanted to share it with all of you.
Perseverance — the steadfast effort to follow God’s commands and to do His work. The New Testament makes it clear that faith alone can save. But it makes it equally clear that perseverance in doing good works is the greatest indication that [...]

It’s a Great New Day!Dec.2,2007

December 2nd, 2007

This morning I was awakened by a phone call at 4:45 A.M. It was my son telling my wife and myself that we were now grandparents! We have our first grandson! These last couple of weeks have been rough on me, so this was great news.
Mother and child are doing very well [...]

Christmas Hope

November 27th, 2007

Now is a very busy time in my house. Not only are we decorating for the celebration of the birth of Our Savior, we are getting ready for the birth of our first grandson. Not only THAT, but I have to proof read EVERYTHING I already wrote because I found that I made [...]

What’s wrong with me?

November 5th, 2007

When I was a Catholic, I wasn’t very good at it. As a Presbyterian, I wasn’t Calvinist enough. As a Methodist, I was too fundamental, as a Full Gospel, I was too pentecostal. As a Four Square, I was too legalistic and as a Holiness, I thought too catholic. I guess [...]
