Eric Rigney has a blog, which I promise will be worth a stop every so often. I know this fellow who lies. Not a lot, not in big ways, but in the same ways I was frequently guilty of lying as a young man. Exaggeration. Bragging a falsehood. Crossing the line from wishful thinking toContinue reading “The Lying Guy”

It’s getting a little hot in here….in worship, that is.
Josh said it in his usual blunt manner, but he’s right. I said it months ago in this IM piece on romanticism in worship. S.M. Hutcheons absolutely beats it like a drum in a recent article in Touchstone. Larknews parodied it dead on last year.

The church is Wing Avenue BaptistContinue reading “A Small Church Tragedy”
The Divine Protection Racket? A Fixer God?
This is going to sound real cynical to some of you. Forgive me if it’s a bit too much. My Charismatic friends can start praying for me 🙂 I hear a lot of prayer requests in my job. On a weekly basis, I probably participate in 10-15 different sessions of prayer requests. Over my evangelicalContinue reading “The Divine Protection Racket? A Fixer God?”
Protection Racket Questions
INTRO: These are provocative questions meant to stir discussion. Please don’t over characterize me personally. I’m a facilitator of a discussion here. OK? 1.
