Do You Have An Open Mind?

May 30, 2011

Do you read things in context? Do you try to understand the heart that pumps the blood and life into an author’s work?

Note to Readers: I Didn’t Die

May 25, 2011

I’ve been traveling with my family since the 17th through the Northwest. We’re currently at Old Faithful Lodge in Yellowstone. We’ll be traveling until Saturday, so that’s why I haven’t been posting… I was home for a few days rushing around saying hi to people and then I up and left for Cali. So I [...]

What I Learned From 3 Days Of Solitude

May 9, 2011

Alright kids, I’m back from my 3 days of hermitude. I went up to Moscow mountain to a cabin Friday afternoon and came back today (Monday). So I had about three days of solitude. I’ve never been devoid of all human contact for so long… and I don’t know many people who have been so [...]

Quit Worshiping Your Dang Bible and Listen to God

May 6, 2011

God speaks to us through many means, not merely the Bible. God speaks to me through other people. I have realized that I am very much influenced by those people whom I admire and like. I conform myself to them. I hear wisdom and truth from them. God speaks truth into our lives through the [...]

Bin Laden, Media, And My Apathy Towards Both

May 4, 2011

Amy is just dying to know why I say ‘meh’ to all the Bin Laden business. Well, firstly, I am not very interested in current political events. I have no practical influence whatsoever over such things, so I see no need to concern myself with them. It’s like how Sherlock Holmes didn’t know that the [...]

Note to Tyler

May 2, 2011

I am very much interested in continuing the debate, but I’m going to put it on hold this week, because my copy of Rob Bell has been lent out to people last week and will be this week, and I need to quote him, but I need the book in order to do that. So [...]

Re to Tyler – Epistemology

April 28, 2011

P.S. (Pre Script) Tyler, I’m really quite enjoying this a lot. I’ve never come across someone who will duke it out with me in such lengthy wordy posts. So props to you for keeping up the responses. Good stuff my friend. Quite enjoyable. And I hope I’m not like being offensive or anything, lol, because [...]

Re to Tyler – Interpretive Frameworks

April 24, 2011

Whoa. Whoa there. Yes, we all come into Scripture with biases, but I try to let Scripture speak clearly, and let the inspired Word of God be my ultimate authority and presupposition. That is utterly impossible to do. No one can claim to come to Scripture without some sort of interpretive framework, and no one [...]
