On the way to work the other day I was listening to a pod cast on Anglican Radio. The host was interviewing a gentleman who had recently finished a book on creativity and the Trinity. The author’s name escapes me right now but he did get me to thinking. Some of the material below isContinue reading “Creativity”

Probably more than any other religion Christianity, and Christians, enjoy debate and argument, and often debate and argue about the basics of the faith. Take for instance the sacraments and among Protestants and even Anglicans especially one in particular: Baptism. Questions on the topic abound, but as I think about the subject most, if notContinue reading “Who Baptized You?”

When talking about (or decrying) things like “religious formalism”, it is important to define what we mean by the phrase.

A while back, during a Christian education class, I had the opportunity to talkContinue reading “John The Baptizer”

Like any parents, my wife and I are very mindful of the habits we encourage or discourage in our daughter.

If you know me you know I am a son of the South. I have in my lienage several Confederate officers and even a Chaplin who served under Leonidas Polk. Lots of family and a long, long line that stretches back to the very beginnings of this part of the country. Lawmen, lawyers, judges andContinue reading “Son of The South”

A while back I preached through The Gospel according to Matthew. In doing so, I tried to be sensitive to the events and situations that lead Jesus to The Cross. While I do not think of The Cross as the most important event of the story (the resurrection is), it is obviously very important andContinue reading “Identify”
