Thursday, December 28th, 2006There is no way to predict what will occur in 2007 or any year. However, I have a few things that I hope to see, some others I fear and still others that I simply think will happen in the coming year. You ca decide which is a hope, fear or ‘other’.

They Say It Better
Tuesday, December 19th, 2006Often I find myself reading an article, book, etc and thinking to myself..”that makes a lot of sense, I wish I could say it that way”. When I run across such pieces, I plan on posting what I can on the Articles page on this site. Here is an excellent example:
Christmas, Truth, Christ And The [...]
The Way Of Christ
Saturday, December 16th, 2006In an ‘article’ I read recently the author stated this about his church…., “We are unapologetically committed to following the way of Christ.” I was so glad to read his words. I certainly hope this is the case. So, what is the way of Christ? And where can we find ‘the way of Christ?’ I am [...]

Monday Reflections
Monday, December 11th, 2006Sunday at The Point was simply a day that was truly significant in the life of this church. The number of people that are joining this family of faith is simply amazing.

Truth And Consequences
Friday, December 8th, 2006When your belief of “Christian hospitality” means inviting folks into a safe place to explore their interpretation of faith, it only makes sense that you would not try to change anyone- because eternity doesn’t matter in your view. If I did not believe in judgement of sin, forgiveness through Christ and an eternal Hell, then I would not be [...]
Speaking Of Love
Friday, December 8th, 2006A continuation on my dealings with the local pastor…In my conversation and emails with this pastor, I believe that both he and I have been fair and have treated each other with respect. I know others who have emailed him, and met with him and have had similar experiences. I have stated that I have [...]
Denied And Denial
Thursday, December 7th, 2006Continued from the previous post…. I requested his permission to post our entire email conversation on this blog, he has refused. In fact he says that I may not even quote him. Ofcourse permission to quote anyone is not required but I intend to respect his requests. I do have all of our emails on [...]
Update on “Crying Wolf”
Wednesday, December 6th, 2006Other Pastors and I have had lengthy conversations with the pastor I referred to in the previous post. I had a long and detailed email exchange with him over the past few days. I hope that he agrees to me posting the emails, word for word, here.
I don’t have the energy tonight to go into [...]
