It’s now time to address that scythe wielding, six winged, cherub whose coming heralds fear in the heart of humanity [read that reference again] . . .
"Peter didn't know what the Hell he was talking about. He had no idea what the mountain-top experience really represented...Moses & Elijah represented encouragement and a reminder to be attentive to faithfulness, because dark days are coming..."
. . . one year we’ll defend our belief in an incarnation timed for Sukkoth as there is no way Jesus was born in December, and we’ll write the Card Talk about how the wise men did not show up until He was three years old. Eventually we’ll even address the fact that the little drummer boy was actually a drunk Roman solider looking for his estranged wife (okay, we just made that last one up) . . .
We aren’t telling anyone whether they can or cannot, should or should not, swear. But you should know how/why we use “bad words” in our game and Card Talks, before you let “unwholesome talk come out your mouth” about us.
(* An addendum to our Theology of Swearing)
"The Church universal does not feel one way about abortion or legal proceedings within the United States. Individual denominations, and individual people within those denominations, will make up their own minds in regards to these things. And miraculously, divinely, they remain within the Love of Christ."
"...you can laugh at “The Virginia Tech Massacre,” but “Babies with their brains dashed against stones” (Psalm 137) is problematic?..."
