Who is More Spiritual?

On the Rebelution forums I recently replied to a thread asking about spirituality and what it means. The starter of the thread pointed out that people often use the word ‘spiritual’ in a derogatory way (either in the sense of “I am more spiritual than you” or “he is so spiritual”), and was wanting to [...]

Oh No! A Disagreement!

Laugh. That comic is funny, but it is also very true. How many times do we get bent out of shape, and spend precious moments of our time (and every moment is precious), trying to convince someone just because they are wrong? Think about it: there are over six and a half billion people on [...]

Go Kill Yourself

I really hate myself. I really do. I do stuff that is just plain evil. I seek after the wrong things. I do things that are utterly unpleasing to God. I am so far from God’s desire for me that it isn’t even funny. Every time I try to do right I don’t make it. [...]

4 Appetites that Change Your Life

I have been thinking about appetites lately. It started back when I listened to the Reformer’s Unanimous message on Principle # 4 again: “You cannot satisfy a fleshly appetite by indulging in it,” a couple weeks or so ago. It is really a very good principle. There is a lot of truth packed into it. [...]

Your Turn!

Most of the time on this blog I sit here and talk and talk and talk, and you guys listen (sometimes, when you are being nice). Sometimes you even comment (in which case, as I have said before, you are awesome: most people don’t take the time to put the effort out)! This time will [...]

Condemnation is Fun

“How dare you condemn me?! You aren’t over me! What right do you have?” When we hear that sort of response when we are trying to show someone their need for a savior, or just stating our beliefs concerning abortion or other hot topics, we often backpedal and try to assure the person that we [...]

Heretical Lexicology

Greetings, “Thou believest a falsity! An heresy in truth!!” “Thou art a heretic!” Them thar are fightin’ words for most folks, but ought people to get so durned tied up aboot ‘em? I want to talk about the two above phrases from a lexicological point of view. To do this, let me first present to [...]

What Do I Think About Music? Ask Her.

Greetings, Music is a very controversial, and difficult issue to deal with. I have meditated on possibly posting a series on what I believe on the subject, but I have decided to forgoe that idea… …because I agree with someone who already wrote a series on it that is really well presented and very well [...]

Rebelutionary Challenge

Greetings, As rebelutionaries, we should always be on the lookout for worthwhile Hard Things to do that glorify God, push us out of our comfort zones, and help us to grow spiritually. Sometimes these Hard Things take the form of dramatic quests, like Zac Sunderland’s circumnavigation of the globe, of massive collaborations, like the Modesty [...]

IN

Greetings, Romans 8:1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. I was just [...]
