Monday, June 29th, 2009We have now seen just what the true message of Christianity is, and how it applies to every person under heaven, regardless of circumstances or background. We have seen that this gospel-message demands a response, and have made clear the high cost of following Jesus, and the priceless reward that it will bring. But we [...]
Chapter Seven: Choose This Day
Monday, June 22nd, 2009Thus far in my message to you, I have tried to do two things: first, show you exactly what Christianity is, and second, show how it applies to you personally, no matter who you may be. Now, I intend to show you that this message, with its necessary personal application, cannot be ignored or shelved [...]
Chapter Six: To the Christian (Part Two)
Monday, June 15th, 2009If there is one thing that the preceding overview of contemporary western Christianity has made clear, it is that there is surprisingly little true Christianity left in the midst of a thousand different false gospels and counterfeit Christian movements and denominations across the religious landscape. But this fact should not discourage anyone seeking a true [...]
Chapter Five: To the Christian (Part One)
Monday, June 8th, 2009I have spent the last two chapters speaking to non-Christians of all sorts, and telling them what the basic message of true Christianity has to say to them in particular. In these next two chapters, I will shift my focus to American Christendom, and show why the truth of the gospel matters for professing Christians, [...]
Chapter Four: To the Non-Christian (Part Two)
Monday, June 1st, 2009In the previous chapter, I spent some time speaking to non-Christians with definite religious convictions, whether convinced atheists or adherents to other world religions. In this chapter, I would extend my audience, and speak to those of you who are agnostic in some sense. Perhaps you are blithely agnostic – you have given little thought [...]
Chapter Three: To the Non-Christian (Part One)
Monday, May 25th, 2009I am writing this book, not just because the message I have is good and true (although it is); but primarily, because the message I have matters. It matters to you. Whoever you might be, whatever you might think about Christianity, whether you’re content as you are, looking for something more, unsure of Christianity, antagonistic [...]
Chapter Two: What is Christianity?
Monday, May 18th, 2009Let me tell you from the beginning that Christianity is probably not what you think it is. It is probably much bigger, for one thing. Christianity is not just something you do on Sunday, it is not just one part of your life, another category to be fit in somewhere with work, friends, family, and [...]
Chapter One: The Reason I Write
Monday, May 11th, 2009I have recently begun writing a new book titled, If I Could Tell You Just One Thing. It’s basically an appeal directed to a wide audience, including atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, nominal Christians, etc., with the foundationally important message of the gospel and its necessary implications. I’ll occasionally be posting chapters here and would invite [...]
Fair Semblances: An Allegorical Fantasy (Chapter 37)
Monday, May 4th, 2009The readers of this little tale, at least they who have any measure of that fine, empathetic sort of sensibility which the reading of such a story by its very nature demands, will doubtless be better able to imagine the delightfully turbulent emotions and soaring passions of a thousand sweet reunions than this humble teller [...]
Fair Semblances: An Allegorical Fantasy (Chapter 36)
Monday, April 27th, 2009By midnight, the Eschatoi were thronging into the hidden valley of the Pelites, until they had quite overwhelmed its narrow confines. Here they would find rest for a night, maybe two, but the sheer impossibility of their staying for the winter had become patently obvious well before the last members of the tribe had straggled [...]
