Gone Fishing

Well, not really, the closest I come to fishing is ordering a tuna sandwich from the Sandbar and Grille.  Still, I am on vacation, so there will not be any fresh garbage till the beginning of April.  Sorry, should have said something earlier, but the internet connection here is pretty bad, thankfully.  The sight of [...]

Thanks, Cyclical Vomit

Man, talk about getting a shot in the arm when you really need it.  Just when I thought that I was a lone voice in the wilderness for suggesting that instead of being the world’s buddy we should be apostles of Christ, proclaiming salvation to the lost, my buddy Randy at Cylical Vomit write this.  [...]

Someone else who gets it….

Just added a new blog to my blogroll.  It’s called Fisher of Men by Bill Phillips and it’s all about personal evangelism.  No, I didn’t say “inviting people to church” or “techniques to pimp your bathroom”, but personal evangelism.  You know, telling people about Jesus with truth and love.  Oh, and love means you tell them [...]

Sobering Words

I meant to link this in my last post and forgot.  Then Bill left a comment on my “Evangelize the Hell Out of Them” post that jogged my memory.  Go watch the clip called “Sobering Words” on the Way of the Master site.  The punchline ought to really shock you.
Also, from that same site, is [...]

Should We Evangelize the Hell Out of People?

Been thinking a lot about this, especially after being exposed to the view that if we evangelize people we are not being loving.  Why on earth would evangelism be seen as unloving?  Well, let’s start with an assumption that I shouldn’t have to make, but apparently in our “emerging” Christianity this is an assumption that [...]

Is Dr. Love the Right Way to Witness?

Do you have 11 minutes to kill?  Of course you do, or you wouldn’t be reading something called “Insipid Garbage.”  Do me a favor then, and bop over to the Way of the Master Radio media section and watch the video called “A Bullhorn Guy Response.”  It’s an awesome video and makes some of the [...]

A Disturbing Trend In Blogging?

I wanted to announce a new blog by my friend Randy, Cyclical Vomit.  Much like “Inspid Garbage”, there IS an explanation.  My other friend (yes, I have at least 2) Jason, has a blog entitled Skubalon.  Look it up, it’s Greek, or you can read the explanation on his blog.  So, we now have Insipid [...]

Truth Deferred

Alas, I will have to wait to give my witty and incisive review of John Shore’s book, “I’m OK, You’re Not,” discussed in prior posts.  Headed to my local Christian bookstore with the intent to buy the book if it was in my price range (less than 15 bucks, with my 5 dollar off coupon).  [...]

Great Article on the Importance of Scripture in Worship

The Internet Monk hit another one out of the park with this post about the importance of having a lot of scripture in Christian worship.  Seems a shame that you have to make this point, but with more and more churches using less and less scripture, it’s a good thing to be reminded of this.

Train Wrecks

Do you know what I feel like as a minister in a small church sometimes? No? Well, I’ll tell you. First, you have to realize a little quirk about the Christian Church undenomination which I’m a part of (Christian Church and Churches of Christ). We are pretty much elder-driven and the [...]
