Each church body is just looking for a sin which they don’t feel guilty of so they can be superior, as if God is a bear and we must simply outrun our comrades to escape being consumed in the flames of Hell that inhabit the mouth of God. Continue reading
“All I see are stepford-like lives Needles and knives, beautiful lies Bringing out the green in your eyes Perfect disguise for envy and pride Face me Make me listen to the truth even if it breaks me You can judge me, love me If you’re hating me, do it honestly” ~Kelly Clarkson One way or … Continue reading
Christianity has trends like everything else as I was recently discussing in a conversation on this post. As time goes by, people focus on different aspects of Scripture, different pagan thoughts influence our views of the Word and popular culture of the day emphasizes different themes. It’s not about hypocrisy, it’s about a living practice … Continue reading
It’s been years since I have been to a church with any sort of regularity. Each time I go, it ends up quickly reinforcing my growing anger toward what I consider the Pharisees of the church today. I have used that mindset to justify why I can criticize the church, I mean they’re Pharisees, Christ … Continue reading

Their Easter play is reenactment of the crucifixion of Christ. A full reenactment. First, Christ walks around blessing people and preventing a woman … Continue reading
My husband and I attended another new church last Sunday. They talked about Lent and had read along prayers and call and response statements. While we were flipping frantically through our bulletin to figure out where we were supposed to be reading from, it hit me. The Christian church is unbelievably dynamic and I still … Continue reading
When the whole Duck Dynasty thing happened, a church in our area put itself on my radar by titling their Sunday sermon: “Duck Dynasty: The Separation of Church and Hate.” Ever since then I’ve wanted to go and see what the church was like. Last Sunday we tried it out. It turns out that the … Continue reading
In America, I feel we are at an impasse. Christ and his words are at odds with the politics that many try to force on Him. His words and examples are being cast aside for the worship of freedom and self-reliance. It’s an amazing phenomenon to me that what we hear everyday as the politics … Continue reading
