I’ve been quiet for a while, but please don’t mistake my silence for peace. No sir, my soul has been pretty disquieted the last few months. There are a number of things that have made me mad, and I feel if I don’t write them down I might have an aneurism and well, you’re just [...]

Food For Thought
Posted: 29th May 2011 by Uncle Luther in GeneralTags: 'Matthew 25:35', 'Rich Stearn', Jesus, quote
I love this quote from Rich Stearn. It is an updated version of something Jesus said. “For I was hungry, while you had all you needed. I was thirsty, but you drank bottled water. I was a stranger, and you wanted me deported. I needed clothes, but you needed more clothes. I was sick, and [...]
I admit, May 21 was a fun day of puns and mockery of the now-debunked Family Radio rapture. I made at least 5 rapture quips online, and by the end of the day, I think my wife was hoping I would be raptured just to stop the endless flow of cheesy puns. On a serious [...]
Every time a Christian apologizes for hurting someone, an angel gets his wings. That may be a bit over-dramatic, but as Christ-followers who are frequently unable to… well, follow Christ, it is important that we apologize when we hurt others in His name. Scott McClellan wrote a blog for Collide Magazine after a conversation he [...]
we don’t heal anymore

In Christian circles, we tend to hear a lot about being relevant, doing church differently and being good stewards. We hear about the latter every time our churches enter building campaigns or want to sell their congregations on the Biblical validity of the tithe. I’d like to see the church as a whole actually put [...]
What’s The Point?
Posted: 29th August 2010 by Uncle Luther in GeneralTags: 'John 3:17', Christian, faith, time
Our days are limited. This is no secret. But I can’t help but wonder what messages the modern church is sending the rest of the world with some of the windmills we choose to chase. We don’t seem concerned about working for a Kingdom that is “not of this world.” In fact, most of us [...]
Christian Music: Am I Asking Too Much?
Posted: 27th June 2010 by Uncle Luther in GeneralTags: 'Christian music', Music
Perhaps I am just discontented with Christian radio, but for the last few days I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to find a Christian radio station that I can stand. At the moment, I am only finding what I can classify as “Christian Top 40” stations. They don’t play anything deep, and they seem to only have [...]
An Answer or a Savior?
Posted: 17th April 2010 by Uncle Luther in GeneralTags: 'Andre Crouch', 'Jesus Is The Answer', Answer, Jesus, Savior
I’ve been turning this around in my mind all day, so I’m posing the question here. What are you most looking for in life, an answer or a savior? It seems the Christian community has for a long time presented itself and Jesus as an answer, The answer, no doubt. Andre Crouch even wrote a [...]
Movie Review: “Lord Save Us From Your Followers”
Posted: 28th February 2010 by Uncle Luther in Current Events, GeneralTags: 'Al Franken', 'Dan Merchant', 'Lord Save Us From Your Followers', 'Tony Campolo'
I wanted to see “Lord Save Us From Your Followers” when it first came out last year, but for a variety of reasons, I never quite made it to the theater. Last night, my church held a public showing of the film, and I must say I regret all of my excuses for not seeing [...]
Top 9 Posts of 2009

I’m a little late getting to this. In fact, I haven’t posted a single blog over the course of the entire holiday season. I’ve been a little consumed with the “stuff” I got for Christmas. Just keeping it real, folks. Anyway, I’m going to wrap up 2009 the same way I did 2008, with the [...]
