“Guarding your heart” is not about dating…
“Guarding our hearts isn’t about avoiding romantic relationships or dating…it’s about ordering our lives in a way that aligns with the heart of God…”
The danger of Christians “standing with Israel”…or any other nation!
Last week I saw a picture on a Facebook page that had a drawing of the star of David with the words “I STAND WITH ISRAEL” imposed over it. Artistically, it was a beautiful design. Theologically, it was very troubling. I believe Christians (and even Jews) who proudly boast of “standing with Israel” as a [...]
Critique of “What’s the Least I can believe and still be a Christian?” by Martin Thielen
“First I want to stress that throughout the book, Thielen’s pastoral heart shines through and one realizes that he genuinely does have a sincere desire for people’s lives to be transformed by the power of the Risen Christ.”
Did God set Adam and Eve up??
Here’s a question I got from a friend via Facebook that I wanted to share with Dojo readers because it’s one that’s been asked by the faithful as well by the critics and skeptics for centuries (and, as is often the case, is a result of surface-level “Sunday School” readings of the Bible).
Bin Laden’s death and Biblical Balance
“Last night I found out, along with the rest of the country, that Osama Bin Laden had finally been killed. Interestingly enough, it was through Twitter rather than traditional media outlets. Social media truly has transformed the world of media and current events.
What I also found out through Twitter and Facebook was that Christians’ reaction to the news varied wildly. Some friends and ministry leaders were exuberant, others were somber. Some celebrated, others mourned such celebration. “
Experiencing God through a sex talk?!
“For speaker/teacher/Bible-geeks-who-do-online-ministry, it’s rare to receive emails like the one I received yesterday via Facebook…but when you do, it totally makes your day…”
Song of Songs – now in color!
The Song of Songs (or Song of Solomon) is the greatest love song ever written…that’s literally what the title “song of songs” means!
However, like any song, its lyrics have been the subject of varying interpretations and much speculation. There are multiple theories of what exactly is going on in the Song, but rather than getting into those (which I will address next week at CharlotteONE) I wanted to simply let the Song speak for itself here.
This is why bad theology MATTERS :(
[Note: I do not enjoy calling out individual Christians by name, and I try to be as charitable as possible when handling theological divisions among the Body of Christ. But sometimes, when real people's lives are on the line and injustices are being committed in Jesus' name, if we do not openly challenge and oppose such ideas, we are as guilty as those endorsing and approving them. This is such a case. Palestinian brothers and sisters in Christ are being--and have been--removed from land they've lived on for centuries, and Scripture is being used to justify this practice. Shame on those who wield the Sword of the Spirit in an unworthy manner. Remember, those who are called to teach God's word will be held to a higher standard...including anything I say below!]
