Introspection

“I earn $X,XXX per dealership. I have X dealerships as clients.” “I’ve spoken at this event and that event. I received $X,XXX to speak.” “I’ve been on this news show. I’ve been written about in that paper. I’ve been given this book offer.” ———- The following is a direct quote of something that was recently [...]

Bethel Is A Really Weird Church

This article was originally written in response to an article on another website.  That article no longer exists.  The author was addressing something that Bethel Church calls “treasure hunts”, and his tone was very negative.

God Can't Look On Sin, Right? Why Not?

Is it possible that the reason God “can’t look on sin” is simply because it hurts him too much? Yeah, I know… I know. He’s mega holy and sin is far beneath him. But is that the REAL reason? It’s really hard for me to buy into the fear mongering that goes on in the [...]
