I wonder...

I wonder if saying grace at a resturant falls under the category to be seen of men?

I wonder if you make a billboard about how abortion breaks God's heart and you put a picture of Jesus on it you violate an image commandment?

I wonder how much theology God is involved with?

I wonder how many are drive by friends looking for gossip and not true friends looking to build up, encourage and listen?

I wonder if we showed our brokeness and absolute need of God and His grace while being totally vulnerable, that geniune community could take place?

I wonder if we really think other people are worth all the heart-ache, hassle and inconvience to us but when we have that thought do we think of Jesus putting up with us?

I wonder if we really want to understand others or we would rather acknowledge from a distance while sounding spiritual?

Fundamentalist or Biblicist?

In looking back retrospectively over the last 30 years of my Christian life I can see a definitive difference of philosophy between those who are first and foremost a modern day fundamentalist compared to those who are first and foremost a Biblicist. As myself and other Pastors have noticed a trend of the fundamentalists departing further and further from the Bible in favor of man-made platforms as did the Pharisees in the day of Christ. Concerned more about their 'threatened' authority, with their 'outward' appearance, with the 'results' and not with the plain Biblical commands in Scripture such as John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. "Is it fundamental" is a question that resonates from the modern day fundamental Preacher as they push their congregations further and further from the Bible and look to move to the right and be separate from people and institutions that God never commanded ...

Guilt, Fear & Intimidation

What has caused many independent, fundamental Baptist church members to live in bondage to a set of man-made, extra-Biblical rules or standards? Why would good, church going folks submit themselves to this 'spiritual' abuse? Why have so many God-fearing, good Christians been duped by well meaning, sincere but blinded or beguiled Pastors? These Pastors are trapped in this spiritual system and sadly are not even aware of it. What can be done to help these hyper-spiritual people who are ensared in this trap? Is there a motivating factor that has brought about this sect of fundamentalism? I believe that guilt, fear & intimidation have been the motivating factors that are being used to keep good Christians repressed into a "Phariseeical" role that they are being forced to play. Hebrews 2:14-15 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power...

Expectations

Let’s face it, people will let you down. But sometimes it is our unrealistic expectations of them that are the cause of the letdown. It really wasn’t what they did or didn’t do but our unmet expectation of them that caused our hurt. When I have irrational expectations of them or of their abilities I am setting myself up for disappointment. Disappointment in that they didn’t meet my expectation of them.  But many times we do the same thing with God. We ascribe to him our unmet, unrealistic and irrational expectations as though he is the Jeannie in the lamp and he is there to grant us our wishes! As a Christian what do you expect from God? When my expectation is the realization that I was created for the honor and glory of God then I should not have any unmet, unrealistic or irrational expectations of God. When my expectation is that God wants me to trust Him no matter what then I should not have any unmet, unrealistic or irrational expectations of God. It is when I...
