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 [...]

10 Christian Phrases That Need To Be Excommunicated
Posted: 21st June 2009 by Uncle Luther in Humor, Sacred CowsTags: 'prayer life', 'quiet time', 'sermon on the mount', 'small group', blessed, Christian, church, Jesus, walk
I have read through the Sermon on The Mount more times than any other part of the Bible. The teaching and the thinking are so rich and revolutionary, it beckons me when I need a good lesson on thinking more about God’s Kingdom than my own. This particular time, I was using “The Message” translation, [...]
Common Sense for Christians
Posted: 31st May 2009 by Uncle Luther in Current Events, HumorTags: abortion, Christian, Humor, marriage, politics, poverty, stewardship
They say common sense ain’t so common these days and it seems this adage couldn’t be any more true than in the church. Fear not though, in response to the overwhelming lack of understanding that has led the misguided among us to take their right to bear arms to mean they have a right to [...]
5 Cheesy Christian Movies
Posted: 24th May 2009 by Uncle Luther in HumorTags: 'Kirk Cameron', 'Left Behind', Carman, Christian, movies
Here are the rules: The movies listed below are produced by Christian filmmakers and studios. They are listed in no particular order and the selection of the five movies were limited by movies I have personally seen. They are also the five that popped immediately into my head. This does list does not seek to [...]
If Jesus Held A Press Conference
Posted: 22nd May 2009 by Uncle Luther in Sacred CowsTags: Christian, church, conservative, liberal, politics
Politics, politics, politics, oh how we love what you have done to the Church. Instead of a long divisive rant, I’ll keep this short and even-handed. I have a couple of questions to ask: Conservative Christians: If Jesus came back today and held a press conference and announced He was in favor of open borders, [...]
Where Can I Find Volunteer Opportunities?
Posted: 15th March 2009 by Uncle Luther in GeneralTags: 'service projects', Christian, serving, volunteer, volunteering
Admittedly, I spend quite a bit of time on this blog motivating Christians to serve. (read: complaining about folks not serving.) I realize there are a number of people who would like to do more and who are willing to exercise their faith, but maybe they don’t know how, or aren’t aware of all the [...]
The more things change…
Posted: 6th March 2009 by Uncle Luther in GeneralTags: 'Casting Crowns', 'Christian music', 'Steven Curtis Chapman', Christian, church, Music
Shortly after writing the “15 Songs Every Christian Needs to Hear” post, something struck me about a few of the songs chosen in that list. Steven Curtis Chapman, who has at least 10 more Dove Awards than days and nights during the Great Flood, released a song titled “For Who He Really Is” in 1988. [...]

‘God helps those who (can’t) help themselves’
Posted: 15th February 2009 by Uncle Luther in Sacred CowsTags: Benjamin Franklin, Christian, hunger, poverty
A 2005 survey shows 75 percent of Christians in the United States believe the Bible teaches “God helps those who help themselves.” That’s three-quarters of American Christians who believe this phrase is found in Scripture, a phrase that practically discounts the entire message of the Bible. Anyone want to guess where the phrase actually comes [...]
