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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

First Baptist meetup

An early highlight in the history of the Frisco Atheists was our first Meet-the-Pastor event in April, 2009 when we met with Chuck Martin from First Baptist – Frisco.  This happened before we got a website so there is no play-by-play review of the event but, in short, we all had a great time.  Chuck [...]

Series on doubt by Mel Cure

Fellowship of Frisco has just started a series on doubt.  I’m not expecting any surprises, but on the other hand I can’t make myself look away.  Listen in if you’re curious.

Soul Hunger

I’ve always loved sermons with a philosophical message.  A lot of people get bored by this — I usually find that I’ve been holding my breath for the dénouement. Craig Cabaniss from Grace Church gave an awesome 3 minutes a few weeks ago.  Give him a listen and see if you can hear shades of Seneca [...]

Hope Fellowship’s elephant

From the archives – this sermon was delivered 2009-09-06.  I found it when I first started listening to local pastors but never posted about it because I didn’t think I knew enough superlatives to describe how bad it really is. The sermon is part of a series, the “elephant” series, that covers topics that are [...]
