Filthy Rags & Dirty Cups: 40 Best Christian Rock Albums (that pushed the boundaries of CCM)
http://filthyragsanddirtycups.blogspot.com/2015/04/40-best-christian-rock-albums-that.html
Friday, April 10, 2015. 40 Best Christian Rock Albums (that pushed the boundaries of CCM). Many of these artists have lots of other deserving albums, but these are the ones that I believe propelled them past recycling the lowest common denominator CCM groupthought. But they are all very excellent albums, a lot of fun to listen to, and are some of the things that helped to shape my faith and my understanding of Christianity. Ping Pong Over the Abyss 77s 1982. The 77s 77s 1987. Sticks and Stones 77s 1990.

Filthy Rags & Dirty Cups: January 2014
http://filthyragsanddirtycups.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 4, 2014. It's like suddenly getting your full sight when you've been partially blind all your life. Suddenly you can see the sky and the stars but can't fully explain them to people who still just see spots and blurs and think that's the end-all, be-all of actual vision. Just a little something I've been thinking about lately. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What have I gotten myself into here? For more information (and mug shots) visit www.taylorverse.com.

Filthy Rags & Dirty Cups: February 2014
http://filthyragsanddirtycups.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 28, 2014. To hate is the devil's work. So, a friend of mine posted this: "If God is love then why do Christians spread so much hate? Rather than cast a stone, love and pray for the person. To hate is the devil's work.". Because he asked, I responded, and I figured I'd share it here too because I get asked this a great deal by people who know me, both my faith and my personality (and try to make sense of putting the two together). However, in many times, even that seemingly hateful speech...

Filthy Rags & Dirty Cups: [Link] What Non-Christians Want Christians To Hear
http://filthyragsanddirtycups.blogspot.com/2015/06/link-what-non-christians-want.html
Friday, June 5, 2015. Link] What Non-Christians Want Christians To Hear. Blog Editor's Note: Interesting article. And the kind of thing I think it would do us Christians good to just listen too without reacting to immediately to either defend ourselves or debate any theological clarifications. This is one of those "stop talking and just listen" moments that my wife tells me about. Within three days I had in my inbox over 300 emails from non-Christians across the country. Reading them was one of the m...

Filthy Rags & Dirty Cups: December 2014
http://filthyragsanddirtycups.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 12, 2014. Incarnation - Not Just for Messiahs. Here at onset of Christmas, let's get one thing straight: Christmas is fun. Songs are fun. Carols are a blast. Presents are fun. Remembering family and friends and spending time together is fun. The story of the birth of little baby Jesus is fun. But that's not what Christmas celebrates. I had you with me until that last part, didn't I? Christmas is about the incarnation of Christ into the world. God loved us and loves us so much that he sen...

Real Life Connections: Do you understand the secret to the kingdom of heaven?
http://reallifeconnections.blogspot.com/2009/10/do-you-understand-secret-to-kingdom-of.html
A Ministry About What Matters Most. Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Do you understand the secret to the kingdom of heaven? This morning I am continuing my reading through the Gospels. I am reading them as I continue to ponder discipleship and what it means to our churches. This morning a couple of things seem relevant. We should not take for granted our salvation, treating it as nothing more than a get-out-of-jail-free card. Jesus called us to be his disciples; and as such, we should purposely pursue th...

Real Life Connections: Velcroed for Growth
http://reallifeconnections.blogspot.com/2009/01/velcroed-for-growth.html
A Ministry About What Matters Most. Saturday, January 10, 2009. Over the next few days I want to review a chapter from the book Contrarians Guide to Knowing God: Spirituality for the Rest of Us. By Larry Osborne. He wrote a chapter titled “Velcroed for Growth” that is very appropriate for Real Life Connections. As a way of introduction, Osborne writes how people who isolate themselves find it difficult to get help when they need it. The reason? 8220;Every day they continued to meet together in the temple...

Real Life Connections: Is a community of believers the answer we should seek?
http://reallifeconnections.blogspot.com/2009/11/is-community-of-believers-answer-we.html
A Ministry About What Matters Most. Monday, November 16, 2009. Is a community of believers the answer we should seek? Since there are a few modern-day examples, I used to think so; but it does not seem to be the norm. Now I am beginning to question this idea. So what is the answer to building a community of believers? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We hope to help people develop a REAL relationship with Christ; one with. Which leads to a LIFE that is rich in. Helping build a community of believers.
