Why it's Good

In the end, Good Friday is not about guilt and shame. It’s about hope and love.

Christianity 101: The Bible

For the next week, I’ll be posting the audio and my notes from a Sunday School series I recently taught at Crossroads. It’s a review of the basic beliefs of Christianity, but I tried to make it useful to longtime believers and noobs alike.

Heroism

I’m very pleased. City of Heroes is now free-to-play, and it runs on my wife’s computer. This is good news because it runs very poorly on my aging laptop. Looks like I’ll be making my way back to Paragon City and the Rogue Isles once again. Woot! I’ve updated the “Game With Me!” page with the servers I play on.

Blasting Bad Guys

I’m just now playing through Fallout 3, and I’m enjoying it a lot. I love post-apocalyptic fiction. It’s also been a while since I played through an RPG, so it’s a nice change of pace from my usual shooters.

Apologetics Bonus Level!

I’ve gone back and updated all the posts on my apologetics series with my notes. You can now read the lessons as they were written.

Authenticity with God

When we pray, I think we sometimes try to think of the most holy thing to say. For some of us, there are certain subjects that just don’t come up when we talk to God.

Apologetics Finale: Jesus

In the final lesson of the apologetics series, we touch on perhaps the most important question of all: how can Jesus be the only way to God? What about all the other religions of the world? And aren’t all religions basically the same anyway?

Apologetics: The Problem of Evil

In this morning’s Sunday School class, I tackled one of the most troublesome questions in religion and philosophy: why is there evil in the world?

Forget the Bunny

It’s Easter this Sunday. You know what that means: church and chocolate. Probably brunch with the family. Gotta find a clean shirt. Gotta get up early for a weekend.

Don't Pray Like You Vote

Sometimes, it makes sense to lower your expectations. You get disappointed enough times, and you learn to accept it.

Faith isn't Un-reason

Suppose you have a friend. Every time that friend makes you a promise, he keeps it. Every time that friend tells you a fact, he turns out to be right — even though you don’t always believe him at first. Your friend is always honest with you, even when it’s difficult to hear.

FAIL.

Missed a post! Lapse in discipline. Devotion fail.

The Razorclown vs. Jericho

I taught the Bible study tonight! It was on the first part of the book of Joshua.

One Kind of Grace

We Christians talk about God’s grace a lot. It’s central to how Christianity works. If you’ve spent any time around a church, you’ve probably heard it defined as “undeserved favor.”

God is Made of WIN

I don’t think we acknowledge Jesus’s cleverness nearly enough. Consider this:

Love Comes First

God is not an old white guy with a long white beard and a long white robe, sitting on a little white cloud and judging you.

Lent, Razorclown Style

For the past two years, I’ve done most of my writing for the year in one 46-day span.

Pick a Deity

I miss Dungeons & Dragons. It’s been way too long since I’ve played.
