Reflections on faith, culture, and life. I was born the fourth child and third son of godly parents in Nashville Tennessee. After leaving home for college I got involved with InterVarsity, then graduated with a degree in finance. After that I got a masters in history. Nowadays I spend too much time reading, writing, thinking, and occasionally doing my job. Homepage: https:/ elderj.wordpress.com/. Thoughts on Charleston and other Matters. On June 20, 2015. When news of the shooting broke, I thought of my ...
Evangelicalism in a Post-Christendom Age: Part 1 | InterSection
https://elderj.wordpress.com/2014/04/05/evangelicalism-in-a-post-christendom-age-part-1
Reflections on faith, culture, and life. Laquo; Eat the Cake. Why yes. Your skirt is too short… and other thoughts on modesty. Evangelicalism in a Post-Christendom Age: Part 1. These are just surface symptoms. The deeper reality is that a post-Christian age is upon us and the foundational assumptions of the prior age no longer apply. What does all this mean for American Evangelicals? An empty cathedral. The future of the American church? Evangelicalism was a prophetic movement, calling nominal Christians...

Reflections on faith, culture, and life. Laquo; The Last Enemy is Death. Thoughts on Charleston and other Matters. The last few days have seen a media furore over the murder, in an historic Charleston church, of nine Black parishioners in attendance at a Bible study by a young White man who allegedly claimed race as his motive. Will the next shooting be at my Dad’s church? Will the next killing by police of an innocent Black man be my cousin? My gut tightened to think of it. I thought of the inability of...
Where is Home Now? | InterSection
https://elderj.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/where-is-home-now
Reflections on faith, culture, and life. Laquo; In Memoriam. I’m not a White person anymore. Where is Home Now? Recently I received a link about all the things living overseas that no one tells you about. We’re planning a visit to the US in March and yesternight I was discussing it with my wife. I was commenting to her how strange it feels to think of going to the US as going “home”. I think it is because of something a missions Pastor said in an off the cuff remark that I did not fully appreciate at the...

https://elderj.wordpress.com/2015/03/08/im-not-a-white-person-anymore
Reflections on faith, culture, and life. Laquo; Where is Home Now? The Last Enemy is Death. I’m not a White person anymore. For the last almost three years, I’ve been a White person. A strange kind of White person, a White person with a funny accent, a White person who doesn’t ‘get’ all the inside cultural jokes, but a White person nonetheless. When I shop, when I go the filling station, when I am stopped by the police, when I do anything and everything, I am White. She is the one to whom is attributed a...

Death’s Sting | Merging Lanes
https://merginglanes.wordpress.com/2009/04/22/deaths-sting
A Convergence of Faith Perspectives. April 22, 2009. I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about death. Actually, I’m always thinking about death (and life), it’s an occupational hazard of an ICU nurse. What interests me is the way faith impacts one’s reaction to, and acceptance of, death. I have pounded on the chest of a frail woman, riddled with incurable cancer, wincing as. Why do we sing hymns about a better life to come while clinging desparately to this one? In All Things, Charity. On April 22, 2009.

The summation operator, Sigma is the eighteenth letter of the ancient Greek alphabet. As an upper case letter (. I am now at an age that I need to feel a sense of unity in the larger nation and world. As my world expands, I would like to know that most human beings are decent. As I move into a world larger than the college campus, I would like to know that adulthood is filled with. I have...
Tigger thoughts: December 2009
http://singingtigger.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Writing more than she sings. just here, for now. Saturday, December 12, 2009. What will happen to them? Or "is this healthy for me? I think i am no different from the rest of the group. Coming away i kept wondering how will they survive this rare and harsh cold LA rain? Despite the mental knowledge that God is all powerful and He can do something about it if people would go to Him and if He chooses to change their lives). What will happen to the little girl who spilled hot cocoa on her yellow hoodie?

Gals with the gift of gab. Laquo; Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – Movie Review. Posted July 16, 2009 by grace in Home Life. Today is July 16. Yikes! In any case, it seems perfectly healthy to me to feel both a mixture of excitement and sadness. Wouldn’t it be awful if I was dreading going back to work? Rested thank you, Jesus.

All perspectives are not equal. 8220;justice and liberty for all”? Posted by Hakuna in justice. Again, i find myself utterly disappointed in how far we as americans aspire to live up to our own values. this is an old story but i was amazed while reading a story in the ny times. Here’s the paragraph that caught my attention:. The men have all been held at Guantánamo Bay for more than five years, and none has been charged with a crime. They filed petitions for habeas corpus. I certainly hope not! You are c...

All perspectives are not equal. Posted by Hakuna in ethnicity and culture. This is a question and sentiment that i often hear asked or implied (usually by a european american male, but sometimes by individuals of color like Ward Connerly. Photo to right) . it is one of my greatest frustrations as i have tried to help people see reality in north america. I came across an article in the new york times. In our context here in north america, that means white european north americans. We (as americans) want t...

InterSection – Reflections on faith, culture, and life
Reflections on faith, culture, and life. True Humility, Fearless Honesty, and the Need for a New Prophetic Movement in Ghana: Part 1. Some months ago, I was invited to speak on campus to a student fellowship on a topic related to integrity. I cannot now remember the exact theme upon which I was asked to expound, but I do remember that I used words from the Ghanaian national anthem as a departure point for my remarks. The first stanza of the anthem, indeed the entire song, is a prayer. Comes to mind. ...

Guatemala City North Mission July 28, 2010- August 2, 2012. Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah.". Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 2:8. Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Life is a Mission - WA'RANIN. With my new Q'eqchi' hymnbook my Aunt Julie and the Q'eqchi' Choir brought to me. Bags packed and ready to go.
Elder Jacen Smith
Philippines Manila Mission September 2009-September 2011. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. I can't believe that this is the last letter that I'm going to get to write as a missionary! I know everyone says this but the time as gone by so fast; I don't know what happened. It's crazy to think that I only get to go out and work 4 more days and then it's all over. I'm just going to keep giving it all I’ve got until the end. It's really been an amazing experience. Love, Elder Smith. Tuesday, August 23, 2011. This w...

Elder Jackman
August 27, 2012. The work is going great! We have 5 investigators with baptismal dates now! One of the part members we are working with is set for September, then our friend the pastor has set a date for September 22nd! So we were kind of awe struck and just explained that we bring them to church and then we set a date and baptize them. We then taught and committed him to be baptized on the 22nd! But the bad news is that he didn't come on Sunday! She really wants to get baptized. And us coming by and...
