Christian Group Fought The Law – The Law Won

While scanning my daily news, came across this article in the Seattle Times.  It’s about a school in Kent where the student body would not allow a group called The Truth Bible Club to become a student body club.  Reason, because to vote in the club one must pledge to Jesus Christ.
The Associated Student Body [...]

Sunday Morning Verse – 6/28/09

The following verse was pulled from Sanders Web:
Hebrews 13:8

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
So, Jesus is the same, forever.  Which, since he is God, would mean God is the same forever.  Which means, since he wrote the Bible (using men, of course, because you know, God can’t physically write something himself… [...]

I know, I know… everyone is doing it…

Published by leavingreligion under Growing Up, music

So, why shouldn’t I.  Michael Jackson had a major impact on my music choices when I was a kid.  My poor mother had to watch me moonwalk and turn and go up on my tippy toes.  I just wanted to dance like him… and I couldn’t.  Not at all.  I was horrible.  I remember a [...]

What If…

I think about these things a lot… what if:

I’d never been told about the Bible
I didn’t know about Jesus
My family never raised me as a Christian
I’d never stepped foot into a church

I especially think about these things the more  meet people who never grew up in church, knowing the Bible, or knowing about Jesus.  When [...]

Summer Camp Memories

This summer I will relive some of my summer camp memories.  I remember the excitement I had for camp when I was a kid.  I loved packing, getting all of my things together, and thinking about which cabin I’d get, which bunk I’d get, and who my cabin mates would be.  We’d all meet up [...]

Sunday Morning Verse – 6/21/09

Using the site, Sander Web, I have generated the following verse on this Sunday:
Galatians 6:1

Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
This verse has a very nice sentiment.  It also, in my experience, is [...]

My Music – My Rebellion

During my youth group years, the one way I was able to ‘rebel’ was to listen to music that was not Christian.  I mean, I always said I like bands like DC Talk, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Steven Curtis Chapman, etc.  But really… I like Depeche Mode, Nirvana, The Cure, even some Naughty By [...]

Focus on the Family has a new leader, Jim Daly.  He’s alraedy making changes and making statements.  Statements like, “he wishes more families were more like the Obama’s.”  What??  This, from the organization who personally tried to drive Obama into the ground during the election?  Well, there is some kind of change.  My favorite thing [...]

No Need For Hate Crime Laws – According to Some Conservative Christians

The Matthew Shephard Act is close to getting through and becoming a law.  This has some Conservative Christian’s panties in a bunch. They claim we don’t need any hate crime laws.  None. at. all.  One of the reasons they give for opposing the Matthew Shephard Law… get ready for it… they fear that Pastor’s may [...]
