Don't panic, Christians. I'm not here to say that God doesn't exist or your beliefs are stupid or anything. I'm a Christian myself. And as an insider, I see way too many Christians living out of beliefs that are anything but Godly. Some merely prevent them from experiencing all of God's glory, some are just … Continue reading 10 Lies Too Many Christians Believe

What Your Enemies Can Teach You
We like to think we know everything. We don't. Whatever cause you fight for (religion, sports team, social rights, etc) you don't know the entirety of the issue just because you have Facebook and Twitter or you saw that one passionate speech that went viral. We like to think that we're geniuses and our opponents … Continue reading What Your Enemies Can Teach You
It Doesn’t Affect You
Surfing the blogosphere, I've seen about every current debate from both sides: gay marriage, abortion, gun control, religious freedom, boxers vs. briefs, all that good stuff. I have my beliefs (boxers), but I can easily admit that my "opponents" in these issues (I hate talking like we're enemies) have some darn good arguments against me. … Continue reading It Doesn’t Affect You
Christian Debate in Five Seconds (Starring Children)
My wife leads the four-year-olds at our church and witnessed the following darkly hilarious look at Christian debate. During a review segment, the kids were asked to guess who "this person" was. The prompt was, "I created the whole world in one week." One little boy immediately answered, "God!" A second boy chimed in, "Jesus!" … Continue reading Christian Debate in Five Seconds (Starring Children)
Calvinism, Defined and Opposed…Mostly
Today on, "Catchy titles of a man desperate for hits..." This is a post I've wanted to do for a while talking about Calvinism and why I'm against it. Of course, I have to also explain Calvinism a tad, so I'm going to break it down by the acrostic TULIP. This is a VERY basic … Continue reading Calvinism, Defined and Opposed…Mostly
Butthole with a Megaphone
Today on Titles no Self-Respecting Christian Writer would EVER Use... I was having a conversation with some friends of mine about social media, namely Facebook. They said that Facebook is the "front porch" of modern society. Back in the day, people would sit out on their front porch and talk about issues that concerned them, … Continue reading Butthole with a Megaphone
Missing the Point
This is another one of those posts where I stand in the crossfire of Christians and non-Christians, speaking to both of them. Christians and non-Christians are often shooting at each other and every now and then I like to walk down the middle of the firing line and say, "Uh, you're both wrong." In just … Continue reading Missing the Point
KA-PWING!–Why a Brain is Important in Christianity
I don't usually post on Thursdays, but something neat happened today. Well, interesting, at least. I got into a theological debate today, which hasn't happened in a really long time. I didn't quite miss it. Anywho, I told a lady I was a Christian and I could tell that bothered her. Mostly by the way … Continue reading KA-PWING!–Why a Brain is Important in Christianity
In Retaliation to Retaliation
I wish I could find it again, but I saw a little comic the other day, showing a Christian who is irritated by everyone saying that all Christians are bad. So, the Christian very realistically spouts back "Well, atheists do this, that, and the other thing!" And the atheist very calmly replies something along the … Continue reading In Retaliation to Retaliation
