Monday was the 6th birthday of my baptism.
I was baptized at the Yellow Breeches Creek at Messiah College on August 25, 2002 by the pastor of my E-Free church. I was 19 years old.
There was a huge thing at the creek where there were a ton of us getting baptized at the [...]

I’m reading Hebrews right now and as I passed this verse, something stood out to me.
I have no idea if this is accurate or not, so maybe someone could shed some light.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and [...]

I think I’m going to take some time to share my favorite Bible passage. This is a new thing, this particular one. I’m sure I’ve read it to some extent before, and I, of course, know the story and the song. But I read it last week and it became meaningful to [...]

..a little more on the conference..
I had this inserted into what I originally wrote, but decided to save it to expand upon later.

I was on the Deeper Still blog reading all the opinions. Everyone was rejuvenated and I didn’t really feel that way. So, I feel a bit sad about that, but [...]

I’ve been doing research on the history of Biblical canon and how the books of our Bible have come to be our books. In particular, I’ve been interested in why Protestants removed specific books, and what criteria was originally used to choose the books. I know a bit here and there, generically, from my Bible [...]

Apparently– and I am not certain of this and cannot be bothered to look as I am severely lazy– Mark, as in the Book of Mark in the Bible, got most of his eye witness information from Peter. The rest of the gospels are written from other various sources.
What is also true is that [...]

I reject two things in my current understanding/experiences of my path in evangelical Christianity, that are seemingly contradictory. The first is that I reject the hostility toward all sciences, from biology to psychology, including philosophy and thought. The idea is that the Bible is so worthy of worship, that no other area of [...]

In looking for new blogs to read, I happened to come across this site. I haven’t had much of a chance to explore it, yet, but I think it’s an interesting idea.
The idea is to make an “active, visual, meditative” way to pray, by drawing a person or group of people’s names, and then [...]

This cracked me up. I apologise ahead of time for my ability to get easily amused, but here goes.
Everyone knows [or rather should] that using the singular form of “they” is not ‘appropriate’ in the English language. For example, the sentence, “Everyone loves their home,’ would be better written as, “Everyone loves his [...]
