One of the Spiritual disciplines we talk about the most is spending time in the Word; reading the Bible, listening to messages, and daily study. We also talk often about how hard it can be to fit time in for this as well as just forgetting. Well, I was reading a section today that speaks [...]

Do I have to respond to the sermon?
Posted in Messages and Thoughts, tagged Bible, jerk, pastor, submission, teacher, unity, Word on April 10, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Before I get into this blog, I want to put forward that I am making an assumption. I am assuming your pastor is called by God, preaches the Word, has a burden for the message God has laid on his heart that week, and begs the Holy Spirit to speak through him (or her) so [...]
Not Disputing Disputable Matters
Posted in Messages and Thoughts, tagged Bible, disputes, grey areas on April 3, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
“Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters.” Romans 14: 1 Paul gets to talking about disputable matters. These are not the things that are black and white in the Bible, but things they are somewhat grey. In Paul’s day, this could be what type of food you eat, days being [...]

The part that matters….

Hi all…. I just got done with lunch with a buddy of mine that reminded me of what really matters. He is a Christian too and he was saved from a life that was rough, hard, and heading no where fast. When He came to the Lord there was a HUGE turnaround in his life [...]
Disease in the body of the church

I am hesitant to start writing this post. Not because I am leary of what people will think of it. That’s no real concern at all. Those who will take issue with it, will take issue with most anything I write. Those who enjoy ignoring the heart of a post and try to find one [...]

I came across this clip on Simply Ecclesia. It’s a great site with different contributors and I encourage you to check it out. However, this clip from “Speaking of Faith” with Chuck Colson, Greg Boyd and Shane Claibourne is very interesting. Check it out….
The Difference between Beliefs and Convictions
Posted in Just Life, Messages and Thoughts, tagged beliefs, Bible, church, conviction on July 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
OK, I was just about to shut down and got to thinking about a point that is in tomorrow’s message for the church that I think is worth struggling with. A belief is something we hold onto; a conviction is something that holds onto us. That sounds simple enough but if you try to imply [...]
Welcome
Hi, I'm Tom and this is my web-site. Sometimes, within ministry, it seems there are only two options.....to be a believer of the Scripture and be seen as being self righteous, judgmental, and hyprocritical or believe you have to water down the Bible to being loving, merciful, and full of grace. Well, I fall in the middle of all that...I am an emerging conservative. I am in love with the community and relational spirituality as seen in the Bible and the ministry of Jesus Christ and believe we can have it here today! Join in on the conversation, won't you?Archives
