Complegalitarian: April 2008

http://complegalitarian.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

THE COMPLEGALITARIAN BLOG HAS REOPENED FOR BUSINESS. AT A NEW LOCATION. WITH SOME NEW RULES.* *. Adj Pertaining to complementarianism and egalitarianism. Working to be a safe place for all sides to share.* *. Wednesday, April 23, 2008. I have recently "met" Paul Burleson. And am really enjoying perusing through his blog, VTMBottomLine. As lately it's touching on many egalitarian/complementarian issues. His most recent post, Who's the Boss. Hits on one my earlier (badly) attempted questions. God accommoda...

vtmbottomline: December 2014

http://vtmbottomline.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 27, 2014. ENDING THE YEAR WITH A STRONG SUGGESTION. I'm known as a rebel by many who know me well and after this post I may also be known as a cynic. Although I think that would miss the mark of reality a bit. I'm saying this because I want to address something that has bothered me for several years now and seems to be getting worse instead of better. It is the use of what I call Christian-ese. My basic concern with all this is Three-fold. It seems to me when we Christians develop our ...

vtmbottomline: WWJD IN THE ELECTIONS OF 2016?

http://vtmbottomline.blogspot.com/2015/07/wwjd-in-elections-of-2016.html

Tuesday, July 07, 2015. WWJD IN THE ELECTIONS OF 2016? It caught on years back at least in the religious world. It sure sounds spiritual enough. [What Would Jesus Do? It also seems true that concerning some [if not a lot] of the modern situations we face today the scriptures appear to be somewhat vague, if not silent, on giving specific directions as to what to do in those modern situations. What has caught my attention, however is the use of the " WWJD. He'd be more like the Democrats. In fact, did He e...

vtmbottomline: October 2014

Wednesday, October 22, 2014. HUMAN NATURE BEING WHAT IT IS. I've noticed something. People are people. It generally doesn't matter if they call themselves Christians or atheists or Democrats or Republicans or ministers or Americans. They still act like people and with human nature being what it is, that's quite a story. Case in point. Watch people angrily react to what they perceive as failure and go to the opposite end of the spectrum in order to correct it. Talk about overkill. Registration fee of twen...

vtmbottomline: January 2015

http://vtmbottomline.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 31, 2015. IN CHRIST BARRIERS ARE TRULY GONE. Galatians 3:28 says."There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." [NIV]. I sure like the following paragraph from a much longer editorial by Columnist Walter Williams who is himself an African-American journalist. It seems to me he nailed it. I thank him for doing so. Our text at the top says it all. It goes without saying that for Christians the race issue is settled. Anyone who names...

vtmbottomline: November 2014

http://vtmbottomline.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 25, 2014. A GUEST POST FROM CHERRI MOXLEY [My Daughter]. There is something about being around someone who LOVES what they are doing - at that moment - whatever it is. I love the following illustration of Sharing the Joy in whatever you choose to do - from SIMPLE TRUTHS:. How did this begin? But I thought - what can I do since I'm just a bagger? Then I got an idea! When we bring our heart to the task, not only will those around us feel special and served, but they may pass it on too!

Thursday, May 29, 2014. WHAT IS A TRUE SOUL MATE? FIFTY-FIVE YEARS BECOMING SOUL MATES. The quote below about soul mates is not mine, with the exception of a very minor adaptation near the end, but that said, I do believe the speaker nailed what Mary and I have experienced together in a ma rriage of fifty-five years, becoming true soul mates. But like everything else in our lives, I think it came about in a different manner than we expected. The quote says it well. But fifty-five years later ours has bec...

vtmbottomline: September 2014

http://vtmbottomline.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 30, 2014. LOVING ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE THE KINGDOM WAY. I've NEVER attempted to counsel people. Guilty of sexual sins. In the pastoral counseling I've done, and I've done a ton of it,. Now reread the opening sentence of the first paragraph if you will and notice the operative word, "appropriate.". I'm sure not saying so-called Christians SHOULD have the same attitude toward the latter. I'm saying so-called Christians SHOULD NOT have that attitude toward the former. Things like gender, ra...

Sunday, May 31, 2015. THE NEW COVENANT:NEW LIFE. I'm posting a blog post that my Internet and Kingdom friend, Aussie John [his blog handle from down under] posted on his own blog which I will link to at the end of this article. I know you will enjoy it as much as I did. I have quoted Isaiah 42:6 previously to draw attention to the fact of our Lord Jesus being revealed by Isaiah as the covenant person. E J Young, commenting on that same passage says this:. 8220; To say that the. 8230; “. We know that Mose...
