Second revision: March 17, 2016 The other day I indicated to a Bible-believer friend that I would prefer to only communicate with this person (and everyone else) by means of Telegram or secured email, rather than SMS messaging or totally unsecured email. To my surprise, this person replied back that they were ‘unsure of their biblical position on privacy’. Being…

Should Yoga be Taught in BC Public Schools?
UPDATES: RESPONSES below added The following is a real dialogue between a British Columbia parent who didn’t like the idea of their child doing yoga without their permission in what they thought was a secular school. Note that the parent received no further communication after sending their time-consuming response below: Original Email written by Teacher to Parent Mrs.…
The Best Way to Flee Naked
I love God’s word. All of it. Some of it, I will indeed be asking Him directly about one day for the full revelation but for now, while I’m sporting my patented Glasses Darkly, I only get a little glimpse. Today I was reading this unique chunk of spiritual revelation. It occurred seconds after Jesus was betrayed by Judas and…
Summary, Chart and Calendar of Old Testament Levitical Sacrifices and Festivals
Long title but wanted to make sure the search algorithms caught it so you saved all the search time I wasted! Even though this post doesn’t perfectly give what I’m still looking for, hopefully someone can take these resources and have enough time to build what I really wanted. Let me explain what it is I wished I could find…
Friends, Family and the Flesh
My dear spouse, why do I find it hard to receive biblical perspectives and teachings from you? Why do my family and friends always discourage me from my heart’s desires? Why are my family and friends not as excited about my prospective mate? Do some of these questions hit home? For Bible believers, they are tied together quite intimately. Last…
The Real Jesus of the Bible
I’ve been a professing disciple of Jesus for about 20 years. Prior to meeting Jesus personally, I had seen an Anglican version of Him. It was a ritualistic cookie cutter machine of religious gymnastics. I realized I didn’t have what it took to become good at this sport so I left. When I really met Jesus it was through a…
How to be in, but not of the world.
I know. It sounded like I was going to provide a step by step tutorial about how to both live in the world and yet live in God’s kingdom. Sadly, I’m just not that spiritual yet. However, I do enjoy slamming out blogs of things that I’m working through in my own life. This week, I encountered and interesting situation. …
Is the Current Christian Church Biblical?
As I trudge along my spiritual journey to meet Truth Himself (Jesus is Truth)(remember that famous scene when Pontias Pilate said ‘What is truth?”) I have now come to what I used to think was small potatoes – the church. I always used to view ‘the church’ as a kind of vehicle that helps you get to heaven – kind…
How and Why to Start a Church
I decided to blog parts of an email I just sent to my wife. When I email my wife, by the way, the idea is that she can take time to digest what’s going on inside of me and it allows me time to compose my thoughts instead of blurting them in her face with my nasty style. Without further…
Time to End the Weak Christianese
Something happened today. I got an email from someone I know who in normal times doesn’t not freely speak of God or His word. When in person it would be a rare occasion to talk about the riches of the Bible or what God is doing in our lives. Then, randomly I got this well-meaning email forward from here which…
