I talk about the war waged against Christmas being a "pagan corruption" and not the culture wars one of people like Bill O'Reilly (taking merchants to task for replacing Merry Christmas with Happy Holidays).

I give the gist of a sermon I heard a long time ago, mentioning how God often uses the specific talents, gifts and resources of the person in the immediate present to help them, work miracles and so on. Besides this God also tends to ask Socratic Questions of people in the Bible. This puzzled...

Video series where I take some of Larry Walls perspective on Postmodernism (a moderate and positive one contrary to most other social conservatives) and speak of the various problems of Modern Christianity. Wall speaks of the Cult's of the "Isms" that became a force in his field of computer...

I define the Christian Ghetto as being the phenomenon where Christians (At least in the US, especially Evangelicals) want to create their own sub culture that is parallel to secular pop culture. So they create a kind of cheap Hong Kong style knock off of things like mainstream rock bands...

I did a little video for Facebook (sometime will be downloaded to You-tube) on pastors that tend to preach only one or maybe two types of sermons. The term in pop culture means an overly narrow specialist and comes from a 1970's pop song.

Introduction (an old post - reposted to answer some other posts on the board) In the last decade, Christmas, has come under attack. Most westerners are used to have such attacks coming from atheists, Muslims, and liberals, but what is truly, interesting is when CHRISTIANS object to Christmas...

The ancient Church has always seen Christ as a new Adam. Christ, especially on Good Friday is like a reverse image of Adam on the day of the Fall. Rather than disobeying God, partaking of Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and bringing about death and separation from God, Christ in obedience to...

Well to makes things easy I'm just going to tick off various bullet point reasons, I've picked up along the way as far as supporting our traditional view of Holy Week. 1) The Gospels are unanimous that Christ was crucified on a Friday. A great poster, named @Der Alte posted this yesterday on a...
