    Pastors making egregious errors

    For the second time in just several weeks, I’ve heard two different pastors make the same egregious mistake while teaching/preaching. I’m not sure how to feel about it – I feel somewhat insulted by the bad theology, and at the same time I want to just stand up to defend the Word of God. Do I...

    Should I stay or should I go?

    I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that our pastor is leaving our church. The denomination has assigned a new pastor to the church, and the pastor is female. I had a feeling that would happen as this particular denomination seems to have an abundance of female pastors. I'm generally okay with...

    My pastor is leaving our church, and I'm sad...

    ...Which is ironic because we're SO different, especially doctrinally! I'm the music director at our church -- I'm super conservative. He's the pastor and pretty liberal. I'm 100% convinced the Bible is inerrant and Jesus was/is sinless. He thinks the Bible is mainly allegorical, not...

    The Rioters Win Again

    So, have you seen how rioters at UC Berkrley have shut down the free speech rights of a Breitbart editor? I'm getting tired of nothing happening to quell these rioters (disguised as protesters). Why aren't we seeing more arrests and people charged. This is unacceptable.

    The Redemption of Scrooge

    I serve as the Music Director of a United Methodist church. There are several things the United Methodists believe which I believe to be unbiblical, but I can, for the most part, look past them and generally enjoy leading worship there and playing the keys. However, now the pastor wants to do...

    2016's Month of Thankfulness

    It's November 1, so today I begin my annual "Month of Thankfulness." Each day, I promise to post one thing for which I am grateful. Won't you join me? Today, first and foremost, I am thankful for Jesus Christ who saved me, sinner that I am, and reconciled me to God the Father though His shed blood.

    Is Jesus our brother?

    A couple of weeks ago, my pastor gave a children's message in which he said that Jesus was our brother. His rationale for this was because Jesus is the Son of God and we are God's children, Jesus must be our brother. This seems a bit skewed to me. Jesus is my King, Jesus is my friend, Jesus is...

    Agenda of the sexual revisionists

    Here is an excellent blog from The Gospel Coalition about the agenda of the revisionists regarding sexual expression. I believe it really his the nail on the head and we, as traditional Christians, must stand firm against this onslaught...

    WANTS versus NEEDS

    D'ya ever notice how God always gives you what you need and more often than not does not give you what you want? I'm so frustrated right now. And I know I'm being childish and selfish, but it seems like I can never have what I WANT. It's the story of my life. But, as Job learned, who am I to...

    Proud of my Husband

    I just wanted to brag a bit about my hubby. He's a great guy, and I am SO blessed to have him as my life partner. Hubby is a REDEEMED alcoholic -- God took the bottle out of his hand over 26 years ago. I bring this up because last week, we had a complete stranger stop by our commercial building...

    My Pastor got a bit political today...

    Scripture was the story of the Good Samaritan. He was talking about "Dangerous Love." Love that nobody wants to take a chance on. Somehow he inserted a story of a pastor friend of his who was advocating for the relocation of some Syrian refugees into their town. The pastor friend was...

    I am SO tired of being called a homophobe!

    I do not fear homosexuals. I fear God and revere His word. I don't fear homosexuals, just as I do not fear any other person living in habitual sin. Liberals really need to stop using that word. They are completely misguided. UGH!

    I'm going to have to leave my church

    I just found out that the New England Conference of the United Methodist Church just passed an Act of Non-Conformity that will allow clergy to marry homosexual couples and the Conference to ordain LBGTQ clergy. I am the music director at a UMC church in Maine. Regrettably, I'm going to now have...

    Resisting the urge to be snarky...

    So I was looking at my wall on facebook, and someone posted a question to my high school's alumni page asking if anyone from the class of '91 knew of "are" 25th class reunion. I SOOOOOO wanted to post this response: You graduated high school, and you don't know the difference between "are"...
