My Dissasembling Protestantism: Sola Scriptura

Some people have wondered why I would be interested in learning more about the Orthodox Church.  I guess there would be many reasons for that, most of which I don’t have a coherant response to yet, but a major one is a Protestant Big Boy.  And so here’s where I get thrown out of the [...]

Strolling ‘Round My Cyberhood

Joy at My Emerging Faith thinks I think.  Wait, I think that didn’t sound like what I thought it would.  Meaning, she thinks *I* think, not that she thinks *she* thinks.  Though she does think, at least that’s what I think, and I think she thinks so too.  

So in leiu of the fact that I’ve [...]

Defining Salvation (A Four Year Old’s Crisis)

I do not ever remember a time when I did not believe in God. 
And I do not ever remember a time when I did not know that God was my destiny (not sure of what other word would fit), and that includes my post-highschool foray into the alternative underground in the Dallas area, when I [...]

My First Orthodox Service

If it’s called a “service,” that is.  I feel so out of my element, this born-and-bred Protestant.   I have been enjoying the study of Orthodox theology, but as for learning about it in practical ways?  I prefer to stick with the theoretical.  Yet here is an Orthodox church nearby.  It seems silly to be reading and researching [...]

In the Name of Consistancy, Do Both Males and Master’s Rule?

“Slaves, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ.” Ephesians 6:5
Slaves are to obey their masters with fear and trembling.  They are to be single about it—not thinking about anything but their obedience to their master.  They are to [...]

Look Out! Detatched Dad’s are Learning to Become More Nurturing!

…Having said this, it is also very possible that many men in our culture are becoming more feminized in their relationships with their children.  At CBMW, we encourage men to be more affectionate and involved in ways that reflect their role as leader, provider and protector.  –CBMW BlogRead full blog article here. 
Oh no, look out [...]

I’m Thankful… For Non-Meme Posts

I’m technically anti-meme because I, well, hate them.  It seems like you’re not allowed to blog if you hate meme’s, but I do.  In fact, in a moment of honest confession, I will share that I don’t even read meme’s if you do them.  I see “Meme” and my eyes roll to the back of my [...]

Made in God’s Image (Me, the “Bad Guys,” or American Capitalism)?

…By voting, i implicitly (or explicitly) endorse the power structures that exist here in canada or the us. And I don’t. I don’t agree with the way we run our countries. I don’t agree with the way we push other countries out of the way to get “our” own way. These people, just like us, [...]

What is Christian Submission?

I have also posted the following over at Complegalitarian, where there is sure to be a good discussion. 
Author and homeschool leader, Stacy McDonald, recently posted her views on submission—views that are fairly accepted in conservative circles and found in many popular books written from a complementarian/patriarchal perspective. While we wait for The Great Leman to post his [...]

Salvation by Marriage (?)

Evangelical leaders bragging about the marriage has always seemed to me to be a very mixed bag. What are they saying? If you find the right person it’s instant bliss? With male leadership and a Bible you have no conflicts? The journey is good from start to finish and the only problems you will have [...]
