You Are (Not) The Gospel. Posted by Joshua Brown. August 13, 2014. I need to admit up front that I haven’t read this book. I’ve only seen the promotional packet.

I’m just sharing my frustration with what I find to be the misleading, inaccurate, and very theologically confused statements that permeate the promotional materials. The book is called. Is “a life to be lived”. 8220;They [the Shooks] discover...

God Is Not Mischievous. Posted by Joshua Brown. October 21, 2014. Let me tell you about one of my wife’s biggest pet peeves, and then about a growing one of mine. But I’m not comfortable with the phrase “the mischief of God”. I think the cargo it carries goes beyond what is helpful and perhaps even what is intended by those who use it. God is not up to cosmic mischief and caprice. To give those who use it the benefit of the doubt, here’s what I assume they are trying to do. I think it is an att...If God ...
Reformed Ramblings? | a pattern of sound words
https://apatternofsoundwords.com/reformed-ramblings
One of my earliest posts addressed the tagline “Reformed ramblings” that I’ve used above, but since that has now become buried under a mass of other things, I’m re-posting here for your convenience. Consider this a primer to my other posts, if you will. What makes a rambling Reformed? The tagline above says, “some Reformed ramblings on Scripture, life, theology, and culture”. Well and good, you might say, but what makes a rambling Reformed? To be a Calvinist is to be Reformed, though there are some who w...

Do we build the Kingdom of God? Posted by Joshua Brown. April 27, 2015. This post is to briefly expand and hopefully clarify some comments from my sermon yesterday that may not have been as clearly expressed as I’d intended. I don’t know what the cross-section is of those who read this blog and hear me preach (if you’re interested, podcasts can be found here. But these comments should be able to stand as some short theological reflections on their own.]. I said that we do not build this kingdom. Second, ...

Ramblings of a Semi-Sane Mom
Ramblings of a Semi-Sane Mom. Thursday, October 28, 2010. Long Time, No Writing. First of all, I must have been semi-insane to think I would ever have time to keep up with a blog.

One day, I will have time to do those hobbies, etc. Yes, I know this is another sign of insanity, but bear with me. Tuesday, November 18, 2008.
