    Duggars are the Kardashians of the Right

    My stomach churned as I read a headline exclaiming "Michelle Duggar Miscarries". Apparently People magazine got the scoop on the story of this miscarriage and, according to the article, Jim Bob released a statement confirming the tragic news to Access Hollywood. It makes me wonder if the...

    How responsible is a pastor when followers/congregants break the law?

    David Pearl has come under recent accusations that his book To Train Up a Child has led to documented cases of child abuse and death. Pearl lives near me so I’ve heard some about him, and personally spanking 6 month olds and the like turned me off, but should he be held responsible when...

    Proverbs 31:10-31

    I remember when I first read about the Proverbs 31 woman. I had heard a great deal about her, but had never read those passages for myself. Inside was a description of a woman so different from the one I had been led to expect. The Proverbs 31 woman is a strong woman, not a doormat, not a slave...

    Very cool. Firefly is the only TV show to capture my imagination so much so that I wrote a couple short stories based on the characters and world.

    Good or Bad?: Religious tracts land in Trick or Treat bags

    My cousin gave out toothbrushes to the kiddies this year. Even a tract is better than that.

    I became furious in church.

    Yesterday was my first time at an Orthodox church. I felt it was a very loose service. People crossed themselves, sat or stood, and bowed at different times. I was under the impression that crossing oneself was like shouting “Amen” in a Baptists church. People were coming and going throughout...

    Show Me Your Manhood

    The U.S. A. is a country that thrives on overcorrection. The great social wars are an example of this: The War of Drugs, War on Terror, Race Wars, War of Sexes, Mommy Wars, etcetera. This is not to say these “wars” are not justified to some extent, but even when societal pressures justify...

    I choose to attend a liturgical church because at core I am not a very good Christian. I am undisciplined and I’ve found the structure, reverence, and focus of a liturgical protestant church allows me to best grow and learn. Though the service at such a church is often unique in its beauty...

    Liberation theology

    You know, it's sad that I've only heard the term "Liberation Theology" thrown arround like a pejorative by speakers like Brannon Howse and others on VCY America network. These people always seem to link liberation theology with dominionism (the creation of God's kingdom on earth heralding the...

    Church Attendance

    Yes, my parents made my brother and I attend church services we hated and I felt it pushed me away. I am trying to teach and guide my kids with a gentle hand and lots of prayer.

    Church Attendance

    I agree. Unfortunately I was not saved when they were younger and my husband and I decided that we wanted them to find their own path without pressure. I am trying to be a good example and lead them to God through conversation. Luckily, communication is very open in our house, so I have plenty...

    Is this how a Christian should be? (No)

    I can relate so totally with your post. Loving people has long been the most difficult part of my walk. I pray about it and I have so often asked myself Is this how a Christian acts? For at least a decade I have recognized that my lows and highs are lower and higher than most people seem...

    Rant

    I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. - Ghandi So much of what is most noticeable and most vocal about Christendom today leaves me feeling so deflated and depressed. I see so much overt selfishness in the Tea Party movement, and...

    Church Attendance

    I love attending church, but because my family chooses not to attend, it makes it difficult. I admit that I do not go to services as much as I would like because I am often splitting my time between family and other obligations, so sometimes it is nicer to stay home on Sunday, sleep in with my...

    Halloween: Is it ok?

    I just totally wish someone would give me a Jack Chick tract for Halloween. I have never actually seen one of these perverse little comic booklets.

    Ron Paul

    My problem with the candidates that you labeled "principled" is that one can be principled and still misinformed, oversimplified, and wrong. Besides, the Mepublican party seems completely unwilling to help those outside their white-bred "gawd, guns, and gold" support base. And that is not...
