Sorting out the current immigration tensions (Part 1)
Unless you've been living in a cave, you know that the passage of SB 1070 into law in the state of Arizona has caused an already heated issue to explode all over every facet of life. One may fail to enjoy a sports game without thinking about it. One can hardly flip on a light switch without lingering concerns. There are serious concerns pointed out by both advocates and opponents to the new law. While it is important to hear everyone out on this issue, the concerns for the Christian go deeper than a discussion of the constitutional legality of the issue. Over the course of a few posts, I want to explore some of the issues Christians should consider should they enter into this discussion with their co-workers, friends, or family. Some Christians are even waling with protesters -- those protesting against the bill as well as those protesting the protesters. Our overall concern is how to honor God while we love others is paramount, so it is vita...
Marriage and Family Counseling
Over the past several weeks I've posted reviews of books that cover counseling issues. If you are interested in watching a biblical, non-integrationist presentation to help you deal with issues related to marriage and the family, and you want a great deal , then I recommend this download from The Master's Seminary. You can play it on your iPhone, or in Windows through free cross-platforms like Quicktime , iTunes , or VLC Media Player . It's the full class, 14 lectures, complete with the syllabus and outline. And it's only $24.95. As a comparison, they have both Pastoral and Advanced Counseling bundled together on DVD for $499.00 (which I would also recommend, if you have the money).
What this blog is *currently* about
The clicks to this blog have passed the 6,000 mark, and it's been a while . So, here is a new Wordle cloud to see where the blog stands as far as content: This is the entire text of the blog. It took me a while to clear all of the HTML, but there it is! I'm always surprised to see the many words and things I have come to repeat on this blog, however I'm glad to see that my English must be clear and strong about the topics of first importance. (How was that? Heh? Heh?) I'm glad to see that the emphasis is basically the same from when the blog started. FYI: there are still a few things bugging me about the feed settings. While working on that, I've come to the decision that the time has come for a complete overhaul. This includes adding a few pages and cleaning up the sidebars. I'm going to work on that in a couple of weeks after my first round of summer classes ends. If there are specific things you do/don't like about Pisteuo's setup,...
Break someone's nose in the name of Christ
Again, there are some questionable evangelism tactics Christians use. It's funny that it takes Jon Stewart to point it out. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c God Smacked www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Tea Party At first I thought this was a spoof. But I knew of the Power Team from my younger, more "zealous" evangelistic days, and sure enough, here is a link to the Xtreme Ministries Vision and Values page . I remember taking my karate uniform to church one day for the children's ministry and breaking a couple of boards during a demonstration. All in an effort to boost attendance on our church bus. Hey, I was like 16 or 17 and had only been a Christian for two or three years, okay? Leave me alone. :)
