Lebanon Baptist Church on Freedom of Religion
I’ll say this once; nobody can make me say it again. I enjoyed the Independence Day Eve sermon by Ray Wilkins at Lebanon Baptist Church. I am not going to excerpt it since the whole thing is good. There is probably not much of interest to atheists and quite a bit that goes against the [...]

My promise to Frisco Bible Church
After seeking wise counsel I am no longer convinced that I have an unbiased opinion regarding recent comments by Pastor Wayne Braudrick of Frisco Bible Church. Instead of indulging myself in a paranoid rant, I invite you to listen for yourself and send me your opinion. (5 megs of barely-edited goodness, be patient.) If I [...]

Kingdom Life ugliness
Kingdom Life fell off my radar a while back; the RSS feed went dry and I deleted it from my podcatcher. But while updating my church list (see the link at the top of this site) I noticed that things started hopping again so I downloaded all of the sermons I missed and began [...]

Fellowship of Frisco – doubt is ending
The series on doubt at Fellowship of Frisco is ending next Sunday. Last week’s sermon consisted of 4 or 5 “hard” questions then a short “ask anything” segment. Mel Cure was asked one uncomfortable question about homosexuality but the rest were softballs. One problem that I noticed (was I the only one?) was that Mel [...]

Still not sure what Humanism is
I have to eat my words. At least, I have to nibble a little bit at the serifs. (or is it “serafim”?) In this post, I accused Ray Wilkins of Lebanon Baptist Church of giving an incorrect definition of Humanism. He says that humanism is the belief that man has the power to solve all [...]

Doubt at Fellowship of Frisco – part 3
Fellowship of Frisco still has my attention these days. It’s hard to look away when a preacher talks about evolution, politics or doubt. This series on doubt by Mel Cure has gone into a third installment as of May 15, 2011. I have no idea how long this will continue but I’m enjoying the ride [...]

Humanism – as defined by Lebanon Baptist
Ray Wilkins from Lebanon Baptist Church seems to define humanism as the runner-up philosophy in our culture, right after Christianity. I’m not a card-carrying humanist, but I suspect that most humanists would be shocked to hear that they were making such a big splash. He says that humanism is the belief that man has the [...]

You’re not a heretic if you accept evolution
It always make me happy to hear a preacher acknowledge that Christians are not necessarily heretics if they accept evolution. I would guess that one would think twice before mentioning it. Mel Cure from Fellowship of Frisco was good enough to take the risk during his sermon on 2011-05-08. This is the second part of [...]
