I believe that the idea that, “each Christian needs to make himself accountable to another”, is the cause of great pain within the church today.
You have heard it said, and perhaps have said it yourself: “As a believer, you need to have someone close to you hold you accountable.”
The general intent of [...]

We know that fundamentally, both the conservative and liberal parties in the United States government have essentially the same goal. That is, they both seek to formulate and arrange the governing powers in a way that best lends itself to giving access and appropriating what we understand to be those “self evident truths”. Mainly, that [...]

In response to a request I want to share a few observations on what humility means in today’s Christian culture, how it is not true humility (Christianly speaking), and how human deviousness has brought this about. But first I would like to thank RC at a href=”http://strangeculture.blogspot.com” for not only being helpful in suggesting a [...]

It has become popular to encourage ‘community’ by saying: “There can be no ‘lone ranger’ Christians”. This is a terrible way to speak about the individual’s relation to church community.
Now, I am certain that someone is able to make a decent case, defending this claim that no Christian can be a lone ranger. [...]

I have just finished reading an article titled Biblical Rationalism vs. Psycho Assertionism. It confirmed my fear that there is a certain method of argumentation that some philosophers who believe themselves to be Christian use to destroy any assertions made by one who is asserting that God can only be known subjectively and therefore one [...]

This is an exerpt from Abandonment to Divine Providence by Jean-Pierre de Caussade. My prayer is that this might be an encouragement to those that are described in this passage, and rarely ever receive the same kind of affirmation in their walk that many of God’s children enjoy.

What is a “calling”? Is it not common to hear: “What is your calling” or “find what your calling is”? What is meant by such a statement?

Now this might be a little harsh and what my friends call: one of your over arching statements. But I do believe there to be some validity in it. Is there?
