Pastor Dan gets a little uppity about my post calling his site, and his interest, an echo chamber. In the process, he blatantly misrepresents what I’ve said. This, of course, is how echo chambers operate.
Stuff and nonsense. It’s not an accurate description of who I am as a pastor or a writer, for [...]
Read about it:
Yeah, that’s a fundraiser for family values guy Pete Sessions of Texas. He also hates flag desecration and supported an amendment to ban it.
So you tell me - is this “honoring the flag”?
And, just for the record, when is Focus on the Family going to condemn this and demand that [...]
Rev. Debra Haffner writes:
According to news reports, Mr. Adkisson, frustrated by his inability to find employment “targeted the church because of its liberal teachings” and that he “hated liberals in general, as well as gays.” Surely, in a few days, these murders will be labeled a hate crime and calls will go out for better [...]
If you read this NY Times article; then you are likely to think that something magical is going on. Gas prices have been on the rise for months and suddenly - around the July 4th weekend - they reversed course. What could be going on? No hint from the NYT.
Take a look [...]
You’re Origen!
You do nothing by half-measures. If you’re going to read the Bible, you want to read it in the original languages. If you’re going to teach, you’re going to reach as many souls as possible, through a proliferation of lectures and books. If you’re a guy and you’re going to fight for purity … [...]
In the midst of a rather heated email exchange a few weeks ago, a person commented that I had said nothing to lead him to believe I might actually serve on the executive board of a church. I actually laughed out loud at that one - as if there is some secret code that [...]
After a night-long bout of insomnia, I surfed around a bit and ended up at a couple of blogs that I have enjoyed because they make me think.
The first was Find and Ye Shall Seek. Random thoughts on several posts:
The Purpose of Rituals
As to the question of whether it is wrong for [...]
Pastor Dan doesn’t understand why Rick Warren’s church is a political venue. He asks:
If you look at the numbers, Catholics and mainline Protestants are the swing vote this year, not Evangelicals. So what makes the latter so much more desirable than the former? I’ve never gotten a straightforward answer to that question.
Dan Nejfelt, [...]
I was talking to a friend today about the Conservative Movement. When it began to exert its muscle in the early 1970s, the country was locked in an unpopular war in Vietnam, our economy was suffering (unemployment rising, falling wages, etc), and we were headed into a decade-long energy crisis. Thirty-plus years later, [...]
So I got sucked into to watching “Nashville Star” a few years ago. It’s usually easy to figure out which half of the contestants that start won’t make it through. But tonight (Monday) was “original song” night. Except that Gabe Garcia didn’t have one.
You can find a smidgen of his song here:
