ECUSA Leader Hostile to Historic Faith

Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said Sunday, “The overarching connection in all of these crises has to do with the great Western heresy - that we can be saved as individuals, that any of us alone can be in right relationship with God. It’s caricatured in some quarters by insisting that salvation depends on reciting [...]

Un-Discipleship

Nondiscipleship is the elephant in the church. It is not the much discussed moral failures, financial abuses, or the amazing general similarity between Christians and non-Christians. These are only effects of the underlying problem. The fundamental negative reality among Christian believers now is their failure to be constantly learning how to live their lives in [...]

One must be Born Again

Any one who lives blissfully thinking the church can operate as it always has, should examine the Barna research, especially with regard to Mosaics, found at the link below. The Church must be born again, not of the flesh but of the Spirit of God.   http://www.barna.org/barna-update/article/12-faithspirituality/252-barna-survey-examines-changes-in-worldview-among-christians-over-the-past-13-years        

Breaking Ranks

Breaking Ranks - Better Put on Kevlar   The Diocesan of Western Kansas questions both strategy and transparency of ECUSA:   I really do not know anymore what is coming next. How things are done and not done are as haphazard as people’s ideas; or so it seems. Now I read that the “New” Diocese of Fort Worth passed a [...]

Go ahead, make my day!

Go ahead, make my day!   Clint Eastwood is lamenting our homage to political correctness. According to Dirty Harry, bowing on such bended knee has made us humorless.   See the entire article here:   http://in.news.yahoo.com/139/20090227/906/ten-eastwood-thinks-political-correctnes.html   The same homage has placed the church in a Cultural Cell that makes Babylonian Captivity seem like a walk in the park. Unable to speak the [...]

Slouching Toward Gomorrah

The Mortgage Bailout   To lay the debt of failed speculators and irresponsible homebuyers (who attempted to live well beyond their personal means) at the feet of bill paying and law abiding people is a crime. It is more sophisticated than breaking and entering but it has the same result – to take something from the lawful [...]

Bring on the Rants & the Evangelism

A Reasonable and Sober Assessment

A Reasonable and Sober Assessment of the Primates Meeting and the State of Anglicanism Thoughts on Alexandria Thoughts on the Primates Statement from Alexandria and The Archbishop of Canterbury’s Address to Synod By The Rev. Dr. Leander S. Harding  I have been reading the communiqué of the Primates from their meeting in Alexandria and other documents that relate to [...]

The Problem with Consumerism . . .

From “Next, Eco-Everything”   “The problem with consumerism isn’t that it creates desire, but that it fails to satisfy it.”   The Jesus Way does not create desire. It satisfies one that already exists in the soul of every created being.

The Beginning of the End?

The Beginning of the End of Consumer Driven Worship/Church?   Author of “Worship Evangelism” Sally Morgenthaler writes:   “The realization hit me in the gut. Between 1995 and 2000 I’d traveled to a host of worship-driven churches, some that openly advertised that they were “a church for the unchurched.” On the good occasions, the worship experience was transporting. (I [...]
