Leaving The Faith

January 28th, 2010

I stumbled across this woman’s blog the other day.

She says she was a Christian for 41 years…and is now an atheist.

Her language reflects that change for those who may be offended by coarse language.

She referenced this video on YouTube.

How would you respond to her if she was a friend or family member?

Have you wrestled with the ideas brought up in the video?

How do you resolve them with your concept of God?

New Year Thoughts

December 30th, 2009

As the mothership is down yet again…

I gave up on New Years resolutions a long time ago.

Having said that, there is something good about taking stock of where you’ve been, where you’re at, and where you want to go.

What one thing do you want to change about your walk this year and what will you do to make that one thing happen?

For me, there is a great need to work some discipline into my spiritual disciplines.

I’m not sure what thats going to look like yet…but I know the need is there.

How about you?

Looks like the site has been redirected. Right now I have no idea what is going on but I’ve sent messages to Michael and to Axed, letting them know what is going on.

Meanwhile, set your browsers here to phoenixpreacher.net for updates and conversation. Tell your friends, enemies, strangers, and frenemies :)

Hey, it’s me Sarah. I’m not completely sure what is happening on Phoenix Preacher .com, but feel free to post here. Michael is swamped at work today and I’m sure he will address this when he gets the chance.

The PP Podcast: Ryan Couch

October 29th, 2009

Our very first podcast guest is Ryan Couch, church planter and pastor.

How does a pastor plant a new church in a new town?

How do you decide where to go and how do you survive when when you get there?

We asked Ryan these and other questions and he gave us some great answers.

We’ll also talk about “Theology Pub”…meeting people for theological discussions over beer and wings.

This is our first attempt at podcasting and boy have I learned a lot…bear with me as I work out the bugs.

Thanks to Ryan for starting us off well.

Copy Cat Calvinists

October 27th, 2009

Sometimes…I don’t know what to do about a given situation.

Like the mess I stumbled upon last night…

It has been my habit for many years to listen to some theological teaching at night as I’m falling asleep.

Last night I decided to listen to one of the pillars of the Truly Reformed lecture on “the order of the decrees”.

That’s an in house debate among Calvinists sure to bring on deep sleep quickly. ;-)

Unfortunately, as I listened I had the strange feeling I’d heard this lecture before.

To make a long story short, this pillar had stolen large chunks of his lecture word for word from a lesser known but well respected teacher… who I also had on mp3.

Worse yet, he was using the pilfered teaching in a seminary class.

Part of me wants to call out Professor Pillar the Plagiarist…part of me wants to save my strength for more important battles.

I can say that this person has lost the considerable amount of respect I once had for him.

Chuck Smith and Jon Courson have been plagiarized more than anyone I can think of through the years…and it has always  irked me no end.

What do you think about plagiarizing preachers?
