Why Read The Bible?/Whats the Point of Having a Bible? (Part 2)
– Hard to Understand- One of the most encouraging passages in the Bible is in 2 Peter 3:15-16. There Peter talks about Paul’s writings and admits that some of it is hard to understand. To be honest, sometimes I read something in the Bible and I am like huh? What was that?! Have you…
Car Accidents and the Sovereignty of God/Rejoicing in a Smashed Car
Yesterday I was in a car accident, to get that out of the way… I am totally physically unharmed and so was the other person, we were both alone in our respective cars, suffice to say we collided and that is all I really care to say about it. Now it is horrible, I am…
Why Read the Bible?/ Whats the Point of Having a Bible? (Part1)
Mind blowing…. I was chosen to do this! I remember being really sick when I was a kid, I had allergies upon allergies, and probably spent less then half the time at school then most kids do in primary school. It was always scary having tests done, I never knew what the results would be-…
The Folly of the ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’ Philosophy

– FOUNDATIONS – (I suggest you read Part 1,2 and 3 before this for it all to make sense) I recently brought a book, and the author was a rather popular guy in ‘Christian’ circles these days. At one point in his book he says, that he believes Jesus was born of a virgin, but…
Is Doctrine that Important?/ The Distaste of Doctrine (Part1)
A number of years ago, I enjoyed building model airplanes a whole lot, I thought fighter jets were the best (which kid doesn’t?). I remember when my older brother had gone overseas and he sent back this huge birthday present for me the one year, it was bigger then anything I had ever gotten and…
Emergent Detergent (Part 1)
It was possible to discuss what was right and wrong. One could tell a non-Christian to “be a good dude” and while he/she might not have followed your advise, at least they would have understood what you were talking about. To say that to today’s dude would be like making a ‘nonsense’ statement.
