What Goes Into a Great Cup of Coffee?
Posted in Coffee on February 27, 2008 | 10 Comments »
So, what is that makes a cup of coffee great and others not?
We need to start with good, whole bean coffee that has been properly roasted. Preferably the coffee would not be any older than two weeks. It should be a single origin bean not a blend and it should be ground just [...]

You really must read this post by my Homie, Dustin Segers at the Triablogue.Here is his opening paragraph:It is my humble opinion that many of the problems that plague our modern evangelical churches are simply due to the fact that they are absolutely full of false converts. I have spent some significant time counseling people [...]
The Decline of the Coffee Giant

Today, all Starbucks stores closed early to provide training for their “baristas.” Nationwide, the specialty coffee sales leader began closing it’s door at 5:30 PM, leaving those looking for a bad cup of coffee or for a super sweet drink that has a coffee aftertaste high and dry or more importantly, maybe they left the [...]
Beer, Cigars, Tattoos and Sin
Posted in Christian Life on February 26, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I want to give my final thoughts regarding whether or not smoking cigars, drinking beer or having tattoos is a sin. I only mention beer because I am not a wine drinker, except for an occasional glass of port after dinner while smoking a cigar.
The one notion that was impressed upon me from the replies [...]
Smile, God Hates You

How often do we consider the attributes of God? For the most part, it seems as though love is the only one that is mentioned or that love is somehow superior to the others. How many times have you heard someone say that God loves the sinner but hates the sin? Have [...]

Tag, I’m It
Posted in Christian Life, just for fun on February 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Gary Zimmerli of the A Friend of Christ blog recently tagged me with a ‘meme’. As a chubby kid, I was never good at tag. I could out run just about anybody for about ten yards then after that I was toast, a fact that made me a pretty good football player but [...]

Is Drinking a Sin?
Posted in Christian Life on February 7, 2008 | 13 Comments »
I am not asking if getting drunk is a sin. I want to know if any of you think it’s a sin for a Christian to have a drink or even several as long as it doesn’t lead to drunkenness?
What about for a pastor or church leader?
Please provide scriptural evidence for your answer.
Is it Sinful For a Christian to Have Tattoos?
Posted in Christian Life on February 7, 2008 | 20 Comments »
Lev. 19:28(ESV)
28 You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.
I have three tattoos, all three were gotten after having been a Christian for many years.
Does this verse apply to me? If so, in what manner? If not, why?
Is Smoking a Sin?

I was listening to John Piper’s podcast called Ask Pastor John. It is a brief Q&A usually no more than ten minutes long. Recently the question of smoking and fast food was brought up in regards to sin. John Piper seems to think that smoking is a sin.
It is hard for me [...]

I am still rather new to blogging, so please bear with me regarding features I may or may not know about. I previously had marked any comments with two or more links as spam… well I think that was the default setting. I have now changed it to five links or more will [...]
