Improved sinners…

You know what’s so hard about disagreeing with the methods of the pdc stuff or the seeker stuff or the whole mega “church” stuff?  It’s taken as being tantamount to judging or condemning the “leaders” to the eternal abyss or the lake of fire or whatever other word it’s called. And that’s not what I’m […]...

and it goes on and on

the dialectic praxis and the pdl and denial of the real Truth of the Word. Watch what’s going on—be very careful, listen and hold everything up to Scripture.  Not the message story, but the Bible – not a modern day ‘best-seller’ but the preserved Word of God. So, right before our eyes, the sand is […]...

No time or energy to write, but didn’t want to miss the op to post a link. More on the peaceful (and let us not forget to also add) tolerant Syria – this, according to one of America’s most influential pastors. I’m guessing poli-sci wasn’t a favourite course or maybe he doesn’t really get into […]...

This oughtta just grip you. Faith Leaders Deserve a Shot at Creating Peace on Earth. I’m thinking: what?!?! Colossians 2.6-10 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with […]...

Is it peaceful?

Do you have any idea -even a small notion- of islam ? Obsession – Radical Islam’s War Against the West And then… only in America… Can a man separate himself (or actions) from his beliefs? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1Qwr-LMFZc The LORD blessed our nation for centuries and for centuries America praised and thanked Him for His gracious gift […]...

Unspoken Requests

I have wondered many times over the years why “the church” has had such little impact on or in America—original impact aside. Consider the avalanche of reading and audio/visual materials. Consider the “churches” and universities and seminaries. Considerable is an understatement, to say the least. I was reading a news story this morning about a […]...

A Study…

says that “Television, Filmaking industries are Big Polluters.” But, then, you knew that. O, I see, they’re talking: environmental. I was thinking something else....

The Tender Mercies of the LORD

We’re home again and it’s really incredibly sweet to be here tonight.  As I look out the window and see the reflection of lights—reflection of lights?!?!? my senses are jangled as we do not ordinarily have “lake front” property…  The flood waters are receding but will likely remain in the farmlands for quite a while.  […]...

a flood of thoughts

We’ve had an interesting few days as we’ve watched the Snohomish River rise and then overflow its banks and flood the surrounding valley and farmlands – as have many of Western Washington’s rivers!  Floods don’t occur without a bit of excitment for our family.  And excitement we’ve had!  More later as this slice of life will […]...

just a check in

I got to thinking… it probably seems from time to time that I forget I have a weblog. It’s not that I don’t want to write or even that I don’t really have time to write – instead, I just don’t have the bloggiest idea what thing to take time to describe or relate. So, […]...
