The Gideon Theory: Not sufficient
http://thegideontheory.blogspot.com/2008/03/not-sufficient.html
Just one guy trying to be a catalyst that God can work through to do His work. Thursday, March 6, 2008. What is wrong with Christians today? Why is Scripture no longer sufficient? In a recent chat room discussion about Christian Mysticism I was involved in, Christians were actually defending this. The conversation went something like this:. Person 1: "I can't believe this guy on this forum has a problem with Christian Mysticism. After all, it is Christian. Me: "If their focus is on Christ, then they shou...

The Gideon Theory: January 2008
http://thegideontheory.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Just one guy trying to be a catalyst that God can work through to do His work. Tuesday, January 1, 2008. I have heard this song many times before and I think it is one of the most moving, beautiful songs Five Iron Frenzy has ever written. While listening to it this time, however, one particular lyric really struck me: "searching for more than mere lies disguised as dogma". This got me thinking about the state of the church. What does the church claim as doctrinal dogma that is no such thing?

This is what I read. I don't know, so I read. Friday, July 31, 2009. Pr 12: Proverbs for Living. The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice. First time I've seen "stupid" in the Bible. I think. (v. 1) So that must be saved for special moments, like those who hate correction. Craftiness earns no favor from God. A woman of noble character is paramount to a man. Not a fine piece of tail or a nice rack. Be true to yourself. (v. 9). No harm befalls the righteous? I wonder about that.

This is what I read. I don't know, so I read. Friday, September 11, 2009. Is 3: Judging Jerusalem. Isaiah 3:8 "Jerusalem staggers, Judah is falling; their words and deeds are against the LORD, defying his glorious presence.". What's worse, their military, blessed by God for a sincere purpose would be rendered useless, and they would be slaughtered on the battlefield. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

This is what I read. I don't know, so I read. Thursday, September 03, 2009. SS 3: Here Comes Solomon. Song of Solomon 3:5 "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.". Written from the perspective of the young woman, she awakens, wondering where her man is, and she goes out to search for him. She has to ask the watchmen, "Where is Solomon?

This is what I read.: SS 8: Let's Make Love

This is what I read. I don't know, so I read. Tuesday, September 08, 2009. SS 8: Let's Make Love. Song of Solomon 8:14 "Come away, my lover, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the spice-laden mountains.". Like a seal over his heart, she wants to be his one and only. She wants his devotion, in spite of all the women available to him. I don't think verse 14 has anything to do with exploring the countryside. Remember the spice laden mountains? This reflects a God who has created human bodies to b...
