The Foolish Shepherd
15Then the LORD said to me, “Take once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd. 16For behold, I am raising up in the land a shepherd who does not care for those being destroyed, or seek the young or heal the maimed or nourish the healthy, but devours the flesh…
Reflections: Doctrines, Attitudes and the Church
Doctrines matter. Then again, so does attitude. Does anyone doubt this? Which is more important? Is that a trick question? If so, why? Doctrines, simply put, are teachings. It is what you are taught about a particular subject. It is what is written. It is what is said. We can…
The Appearance of Impropriety According to Seth
Well, the pounding of snow has seriously impacted several things on my plate this week, but I think I’m getting caught up in some areas. However, next week is looking like it might be even worse. I don’t want this week to close out [the week] without sharing a link…

From Hole To Chasm, UCG Gulf Widens
I suppose most of you have already been informed about the resignation of 3 of the members of the United Church of God (UCG) Council of Elders (COE). That makes 4 for the month: Jim Franks, David Baker, Michael Blackwell and David Treybig. The UCG leadership is quick to point…

Pearl Harbor Day
When I was growing up, I used to ponder the significance of Pearl Harbor Day. Frankly, the schools at the time didn’t do much to reinforce the meaning of it. From what I’ve observed, it has gotten much worse. These days, the politically correct, postmodern thought seems to preclude people…
