My blogging compatriot Jason Skipper has a fantastic post today, warning against the over-reaction so common in many of us who have come out of extreme fundamentalism. I participate in a group blog with Jason on fundamentalism, and Jason’s posts are always worth the read. I’ll quote a paragraph’s worth, and then encourage [...]

I continue to hear from readers about how the story of my journey out of extreme fundamentalism has been a blessing to them. From time to time, my readers share some of their own stories. Recently, a young woman named Becca shared her story with me, and I received permission from her to share it [...]
When I first posted “My Story” on my blog back in December of 2005, I didn’t have a clue about blogging. I posted an enormously long letter, with some slight formatting changes, as one big post. By God’s grace, that post has blessed my readers more than any other. I’ve received dozens of comments over [...]
Life’s been moving fast around here. 4 kids, school, a new church plant we’re a part of, work, life, and more stuff. Where does my blogging fit in? I now have two other team blogs I’m a part of: KJV Only? which I started, and Fundamentally Changed, which I’ve been asked to contribute to. I”m [...]

But in an article on Minnesota religious blogging published today at MinnPost.com, it is yours truly who heads the list of Minnesota religious bloggers!
Since blogging is inherently narcissistic, I guess no one is [...]
No, I haven’t yet found a Biblical defense for using Pert’s Plus. I’m talking about what the Bible says about hair length.
This may be a surprise to you, but listen to what Paul says in 1 Cor. 11:14-15.
Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for [...]
