Hymns for Now

Who says hymns are dull?  Red Mountain Music is a church that has reworked old hymns for current day sound.  They lean a bit more on the country side, but definitely worth listening to for arrangements, or simply just to sit tehre with Bible in hand and just meditate and enjoy thinking and basking in [...]

The Weirdness of Lifting My Hands

I remember when I was in college, I had a great struggle (well, in retrospect not too great at all): Should I lift my hands during worship through song? I struggled with what people thought of me. Would they think I was overly emotional? Would they think I was ‘too spiritual’? And if I should [...]

Ah, Effective Atonement…

Many Christians do not think too much of the phrase ‘limited atonement’ (or particular redemption). But if a person were to stop and think, “Did Christ die for the church or for everyone?� I believe most would have a strong view on the subject. Many do believe that Christ died for everyone. And in one [...]

Why God, Why?

Why God, Why?  Why would He do such a thing?  How could He?   How could He be so…gracious?  Did you think I would say cruel?  That’s how too many people ask this question of God, when we should be asking how could God be so loving and so gracious.  Because when you understand the power [...]

Polls Do Not Tell the Story: A Reflection on 2 Peter 2:10-11

Polls Do Not Tell the Story: A Reflection on 2 Peter 2:10-11 Imagine if our faith was determined by polling, a polling of our hearts that is.  I went into a doctor’s office once and on the receptionist’s desk was a sheet of paper that had a myriad of cartoon faces with different types of [...]

Why Be Gospel-Centered?

I can’t say it any better than Dave Cruver has said it here.  His post is actually a group of theologians and pastors who are Gospel-centered in their worldview so Dave Cruver is more like an editor putting the pieces together.  Here’s a quote: “The Gospel of our God-Centered God changes everything for His Glory [...]

Not Moved By Da Vinci

Geroge Barna recently put out a poll that showed most people who read Dan Brown’s book had not changed thei belief system one way or another.  Considering the book was always intended to be fiction, it would truly be sad to see people believe that this book supplants anything the Bible reports.  But then again, [...]
