Pastor Tim's Rant-of-the-Week: June 2011
http://tiedyedpastor.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Pastors love to talk about their congregations. We usually lie through our teeth, but we still love it when you ask us a question that opens the door for us to tell you all about the wonderful things we are up to. But I seriously threw off a fellow pastor the other day when he asked me a very common question. "What style of worship does your church use? Now my new-found friend understood the reference. Jesus tells a Samaritan woman. But the problem I have is that if one more perso...

Pastor Tim's Rant-of-the-Week: Naked or Nekid?
http://tiedyedpastor.blogspot.com/2012/03/naked-or-nekid.html
Thursday, March 15, 2012. I believe it was Jeff Foxworthy who taught us all the difference between the word "naked" and the redneck word "nekid." Naked means you have no clothes on. Nekid means you have no clothes on and you're up to something. So instead of allowing my testosterone to get me in trouble, I instead direct you to the current post on the Christianity Today blog for women.Her-meneutics. titled The Best Naked Pregnant Woman on a Magazine Cover. Having traveled to countries where public nudity...
