Hey, Let's Trash Missionaries - Seems to be in Vogue on Blogit!

One of my fellow bloggers is doing his best to cast aspersion on everything and anything having to do with Christianity. As I have said before, he’s entirely free to say whatever he wants... and I am entirely free to rebut his arguments and express my opinions. Lately he’s been trashing... Sign in to see full entry.

Do You Doubt the Veracity of Scripture?

Then here are a few quotes to ponder: "Jews preserved it [biblical manuscripts] as no other manuscript has ever been preserved. With their massora they kept tabs on every letter, syllable, word and paragraph. They had special classes of men within their culture whose sole duty was to preserve and...

Knock knock knocking . . . and unbelief . . . . and awesome promises!

I’ve been pondering some verses on unbelief and end times from the Bible. I started thinking about these because of some Blogit discussions with a few “non-Christians” that have simply gone nowhere. Never have I witnessed such hatred towards Christians as I have since I started blogging on Blogit.... Sign in to see full entry.

This Just In – Number Seven Now in the “Oven.”

My sister and brother in law announced to me that their seventh child was due sometime next August. I wasn’t too surprised, because the youngest will be two in March so I figured another would be on its way eventually. My sister is 40 and one would imagine that her fertility will gradually begin its... Sign in to see full entry.

The Bible as a Reading Primer, and Cuddling with 6 Year Old Caleb

During our evening church service yesterday my six year old nephew, cuddled up next to me on the pew, was getting restless. I had my Bible opened to 2 Corinthians 5, and as a way to pass the time he began laboriously sounding out the words of several verses and whispering them to me. He needed help...

The Gospel -- And Reasons Why I Would Stick My Neck Out!

Some question why Christians feel such a need to share the “good news” i.e. the Gospel with unbelievers. After all, the common philosophy of the day is live and let live. Whatever people want to believe is up to them. You believe what you want to believe, and I’ll do the same and we’ll all live... Sign in to see full entry.

Send Your Last $20 to Rev. Ike -- and You'll Have Success & Healing Galore!

I just received a letter in the mail today from the “Rev Ike” instructing me to wrap a minimum of $20 around the enclosed “miracle power of God cross”, return it no later than “sundown” tomorrow and as a result I would be blessed with all sorts of “healing, joy, love, success, prosperity, good...

Scene Two: Atheism Versus Christianity. . . My Opine Continued

Looks like I hit quite a nerve with my discussion on atheism vs Christianity. The majority of comments were very negative except for the loving slap on the hand from Tapsel-T. Perhaps I was a little too harsh, with the end result simply a widening of the ideological chasm which already exists... Sign in to see full entry.

"Saint Atheist Hospital" -- Christianity vs Atheism

Yesterday I had an interesting conversation with a man for whom I have great respect – my dad. Shortly before sitting down at the table for our Thanksgiving dinner, he and I hobnobbed over a few issues. A question I had was what sort of response he would give to someone who not only is an atheist,... Sign in to see full entry.

I LOVE Thanksgiving!

This is our family's favorite holiday. We have a tradition now where every year my parents fly in from CA to Michigan, and as a family we prepare for this very special annual holiday. My parents arrived safely late last night and I met them at the airport. They spent the night with me, and then... Sign in to see full entry.
