Christ’s Genealogy: The Alleged Discrepancy – Part 2 of 12

Norman Geisler and Thomas Howe published a really cool book called When Critics Ask. It is a handbook listing all the alleged discrepancies in the Bible while providing logical answers to each of them.

For those of you asking “Who are the Geisler and Howe folks?” Well, Dr. Geisler is the dean of the [...]

Christ’s Genealogy: The Alleged Discrepancy – Part 1 of 12

Seeing that we just celebrated the birth of Christ, I thought it might be cool to look at the discrepancy in the Gospels as to Jesus’ genealogy. =)

The Discrepancy:

Pick up a Bible and turn to Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:21-38. A close look at each passage will show that while they both [...]

The Changing Face of World Missions: Engaging Contemporary Issues and Trends by Pocock, van Rheenen and McConnell

Similar to Winter and Hawthorne (the Perspective book),  Michael Pocock, Gailyn Van Rheenen, and Douglas McConnell combined the works of various authors into one missiologoy book. The main difference being that each chapter of The Changing Face of World Missions was written expressly for the book instead of being chosen from previously published works [...]

Perspectives On The World Christian Movement by Ralph Winter and Steven Hawthorne

At 782 pages, the Perspectives book quite the read. In fact, it is less of a “book” and more of a compilation as it is comprised of 124 articles from various theologians, missiologists, pastors, missionaries, and church leaders.

At first it may seem that there is no way a book with that many [...]

Mamma Mia!

I watched Mamma Mia! last night with the fam. It was very good!!

Yelp – I quite enjoyed this chick flick. =)

The songs were good – well, the one's that Pierce Brosnan DIDN'T sing!

If you have some time, grab a friend and watch Mamma Mia! It's worth it. 

Have fun. [...]

A Funny Thing…

In opening the presents under the tree, I discovered a copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance!!!

My sister-in-law recently read it and thought I would enjoy it – so she bought it for me. All without informing or talking to me..

Basically, it was good timing (considering yesturdays post!) =P

The Art of Relaxing

Contrarily to popular belief, relaxing is not easy nor natural. It is a learned skill.

It is learned in that “relaxing” is more then the absence of work – it is learning to “be” in the midst of life.

Words escape me in how to say things… scary isn’t it?

Some [...]

Forget Bambi, Try Black Beauty

Horse steak. Yelp – horse steak.

That was supper last night: Horse steak and a baked potato.

You may be wondering where we obtained such a rare delicacy as you would be hard pressed to find it in a USA grocery store. The short answer – and the only one that protects the [...]

Missions Theology: Part 5

"I only do what the Father is doing; I only say what the Father is saying”

A quote from our Lord – and our motto for living.

Unlike a lot of believers, Jesus didn’t always push for a salvation decision – shoot, there where times when he didn’t even tell the people his name!

Missions Theology: Part 4

Most likely, there were a few who read Part 3 and reached for the tar and feathers. Before you pack the car and head my way, let me toss a few more logs on the fire.

Growing up I was taught that the most important thing you can do is tell someone about [...]
