Ok, I admit it. One of my all time favorite movies is Jerry McGuire. My college roommates know this best. I believe that the redemptive qualities of movies like this endear them to us because we can all see a part of ourselves in the heroes or heroines. The difference is the path we take…

Theology Thursday- Define “Holy Spirit”
This should be interesting if people respond. Define “Holy Spirit.” Give scriptural reference for your definition. If you don’t mind, share examples of Holy Spirit evidence you have experienced first hand in your own life, or observed in the life of others.
Lessons Learned from Tony Snow
“The art of being sick is not the same as the art of getting well. Some cancer patients recover; some don’t. But the ordeal of facing your mortality and feeling your frailty sharpens your perspective about life. You appreciate little things more ferociously. You grasp the mystical power of love.

Theology Thursday: “Things Above…”
So last week we took a break… This week, my question is this: WHAT ARE THE “THINGS ABOVE” WE ARE SUPPOSED TO “SET OUR HEART/MIND ON” Colossians 3:1-3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds…

Karin offered this verse: “Do not be deceived; God cannot be…
Theology Tuesday – Describe “Freedom in Christ”

Having attended undergrad at the Preacher Prep School of the South, I have many friends who are pastors, who are training to become pastors, friends who are married to pastors, ministers, and missionaries alike. I am hoping and praying that on Tuesdays,…

An upcoming book due to hit book stands the first week of May is sure to ruffle the conservative, evangelical feathers of the “christian right.” Rolling Stones journalist Matt Taibbi writes in “The Great Derangement” about “A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American Empire,” according to the…
Side Note: Expelled!! No Intelligence Allowed
OK friends– this movie is a must see! I had the opportunity to preview this film over a month ago and I must say its an eye opening, thought provoking, heartbreaking and knee slapping good time. Sounds strange, I know, but trust me — even if you think you are not interested in this debate,…
