Two Years Ago...

 Today marks the 2 year anniversary of my dad's passing. 

If your father is still alive, give him a call, a hug, have lunch with him. Don't take him for granted. 

I miss you dad.

Ron Sider's Thoughts on Homosexuality

I just came across this article. Posed as an open letter to the Christians of this generation, he brings forth some challenging thoughts on our attitudes toward homosexuality. I think this is well done. It balances the fundamental Biblical understanding of homosexuality as sexual sin with the overarching perspective that Christians are called to love.

Hey guys. I have posted stuff about One Less Pizza before, but this newest video really helps put things into perspective on how much of a difference one can make by giving up small commodities. Check it out below...

Seminary

So, I recently began attending seminary. This is pretty much huge for me. I've learned so much in the first two weeks and it seems that most of the things I am learning should be Christianity 101. Seriously, why do they not teach you church history and hermeneutics upon conversion? It seems as though "How to Read the Bible" should probably be an essential thing to know. People assume they know way more than they really do about what the heck they are reading in the Bible. At least I did until I started taking this hermeneutics class. I would dare to venture that there is a lot of unintentionally misguided [or at least quite shallow] exegesis going on in the church right now, simply because we have a generally crummy understanding of how to read the Bible. And how would we unless someone were to teach us? It's just a shame that one must work toward a master's degree in order to learn something so fundamental. Maybe it's just my personal experience speaking here. Maybe I just haven't had much of a desire up until now to really step back and think about it. But I truly believe that most Christians DON'T KNOW how much they DON'T KNOW about the Bible. And shouldn't we be dying to know more if knowing Biblical truth is knowing the very God who inspired it?

Holla.
