There is a TV insurance commercial that says, "Only pay for what you need." The problem with that is that for what I only need, there is no way I could pay.

Mark 1:16-17 (NIV)Jesus Calls His First DisciplesAs Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” In the fishing industry, some fish for salmon. Some fish for tuna. Some fish for haddock, etc. Are those joining the Re-imagine FORM becoming fishers of Christians?See More

Logically Re-imagining the Commemoration of the Birth of Christ in the Blackness of Friday, November 29, 2019

Christmas wasn't widely observed until after Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity. Western Christians officially began celebrating December 25th as the birth of Jesus in 336 AD. Several Internet sources indicate, that around the year 273 AD, Christian leaders began to consider that the existing pagan festival of the winter solstice would be a fitting time to honor the son of God’s Coming to earth.According to Christianity Today, December 25th, at that time, was the appointed feasts…See More

Will God Bless America One More Time?

“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.”— Proverbs 18:2. Too bad the USA has this separation of church and state when it comes to political discussions. This separation, as pertains to Proverbs 18:2, has turned us into fools. Since we now only express our opinions and eschew understanding of others, we have fertilized the extreme right and the extreme left. The goal of the extreme right has always been to eviscerate the left. The goal of the extreme…See More

Richard H. Skiba, Jr. replied to Jim Morgan's discussion We Look More Like the Church BC than AD

"Over 80 views: only one comment. This post clearly calls for reimagining Discipleship and Evangelism. I’m beginning to wonder if Christian leaders really want to “reimaginative.”"

WHY SHOULD GOD BLESS AMERICA?

God bless America. That is the poorest excuse for a prayer I’ve ever heard.

Americans bark out that demand hundreds of times every minute of every day. That phrase has no humility. That phrase has no confession of need. That phrase offers no supplication.

Issuing this command to God is blasphemous.

A proper prayer for God’s blessing would be, at a minimum, “God, please bless America.”

A more appropriate prayer would be, “God, we have pushed you to the…
