Get Off The Pew: Summer Camp Humiliation

http://getoffthepew.blogspot.com/2012/11/summer-camp-humiliation.html

Get Off The Pew. Out of hypocrisy and into the light of truth. Friday, November 2, 2012. When Michael was 12 years old he went to summer camp with a friend from another church. At the end of the week Michael's mom picked him up. It turned out that his camp counselor for the week had been another boy's dad. When Michael's mom asked the man how her son had done at camp, he told her (in front of the little boy and anyone within earshot) that he'd spent quite a bit of time in trouble. His crime? Michael is n...

Get Off The Pew: Brenda's Mom is Crazy

http://getoffthepew.blogspot.com/2012/08/brendas-mom-is-crazy.html

Get Off The Pew. Out of hypocrisy and into the light of truth. Tuesday, August 21, 2012. Brenda's Mom is Crazy. Brenda and Eric are 28 years old and have been friends since kindergarten. Eric is gay. The other day Eric said to me, "Brenda's mom is crazy." He told his story. How sad it is that Eric uses the word, "crazy" to describe this Christian mom. There are so many other words that seem a bit more Christ-like. Loving. Kind. Warm. Authentic. Accepting. Hospitable. Get off the pew. Follow me on Twitter.

Get Off The Pew: Missing Out on the Good Stuff

http://getoffthepew.blogspot.com/2012/05/there-was-communion-service-on-sunday.html

Get Off The Pew. Out of hypocrisy and into the light of truth. Tuesday, May 1, 2012. Missing Out on the Good Stuff. There was a communion service on Sunday. Communion (or The Lord's Supper), as most of you know, is a time during the church service when we are reminded of Christ's sacrifice for us. We drink some wine (or grape juice) to represent Jesus' spilt blood, and we eat a tiny bland, dry cracker to represent his broken body. I confess that I have always wished for a better tasting cracker. It made ...

Get Off The Pew: October 2012

http://getoffthepew.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Get Off The Pew. Out of hypocrisy and into the light of truth. Monday, October 22, 2012. Pagans and Tax Collectors. In Matthew 18 Jesus lays out for us the way we should deal with sin in the church among believers. Step 1: Take out a Facebook page detailing why you hate that person. Oh wait, that would be my human way of taking care of the problem. Oh come on, don't act like you haven't thought about doing that very thing so everyone can share the pain inflicted on you by haters and abusers. If you reall...

Twitter Bible

http://www.notthelatimes.com/twitterbible.html

You are here: Fake LAT Home. God joins Twitter, rewrites Bible. Old version of Scripture wasn't reaching people anymore,. So Lord shrinks psalms and other stories to 140 characters each and live blogs the Last Supper. In the beginning, God tweeted:. Day 1: Lighting system installed. BRB. Days 2-6: Some assembly required: sky, plants, cows, people. Left humans in charge, LOL. Day 7: Siesta. That's how the story of creation is told in The Twitter Bible, God's latest attempt to spread His message. Meanwhile...

Get Off The Pew: April 2012

http://getoffthepew.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Get Off The Pew. Out of hypocrisy and into the light of truth. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. I Think You Should Leave. My friend was going through a very difficult divorce - not that every divorce isn't difficult. It certainly wasn't something she desired, and the breakdown of her marriage was devastating. My friend had raised her kids in the church, and the whole family had been members of a particular congregation for many years. What are pastors thinking when they do this? I'm guessing my friend needed h...

Get Off The Pew: August 2012

http://getoffthepew.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Get Off The Pew. Out of hypocrisy and into the light of truth. Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Church Discipline or Public Humiliation. Over the past year there has been a lot of controversy surrounding Mars Hill Church in Seattle, Washington. There was a public brouhaha surrounding the dismissal of a church member named Andrew. I realize that this is old news to many of you, but I want to address how Mars Hill Church defends its actions in a blog post. Mars Hill clearly makes a practice of judging a man's h...
