Tim Stevens in a Super Bowl Commercial?
// February 22nd, 2008 // 7 Comments » // Featured
Is it just me or does the guy from this E*TRADE commercial look a lot like Tim Stevens, executive pastor at Granger Community Church?

Open Letter to Engadget

Dear Engadget,
While I didn’t attend CES 2008, I almost feel like I ate, slept and drank on the show floor, thanks to your RSS feed. Thanks for helping me save some cash, really, but gee golly am I dizzy. I saw some estimates of some 20,000 new products being launched at CES this year. I lost count of posts on your site somewhere around eleventy-billion. Do you think you could have narrowed your selection down to maybe just 10,000 or so rather than filling my feed reader with all 20,000? I know, I don’t have to read them all, but c’mon. I may have to sue for the cost of the medical care to heal my carpal tunnel I’ve developed from having to scroll through all those posts.

Crazy Christians on the Move
// July 18th, 2007 // Comments Off // Featured
I’ve moved all of my “Church Talk” content to a new blog. I’ve consolidated all of my ranting and raving to Crazy Christians. There are a couple other new blogs for which I’ll be writing, but I don’t feel like explicitly announcing them yet. If you look closely, you can find the big blaring links to them on this site.
Entitled to Salvation
// May 28th, 2007 // 4 Comments » // Featured
Although it is biblical, I’m thinking the whole “Free gift from God thing” isn’t really working as an evangelism strategy these days. Let me tell you why before you chop my head off.
Just take a look at the society around us. Everything is supposed to be free in our culture of entitlement. Another day, I’ll write about how we’ve done away with terms such as privilege, right, etc, but for now, let’s focus on entitlement.
From birth to death, the common theme people are learning these days is one of entitlement. There is a push to penalize the rich for their wealth. So what if they earned it? There are days I wish I wasn’t a white male, just so I could score a few extra points in whatever game I’m trying to win, be it a lucrative job, financial aid for education, politics, you name it. But this isn’t about affirmative action. It’s about life and death.
You see, there used to be a great argument that we could work our way into Heaven. I still hear it, but what does it even mean? If we don’t have to earn our own living and can subsist on our parents’ generosity, our minority-ness, welfare or whatever. then where does the principal of work even come from?
So if there is no concept of work, no concept of earning anything, much less a surefire way to Heaven, then how can a free gift be of any value? It isn’t to those that need it.
