Observations From Hadleyville: DON THE BAPTIST'S ANNUAL BAH, HUMBUG, BREAK-EVERYBODY'S -HEART, CHRISTMAS POST
http://hadlyville.blogspot.com/2013/12/don-baptists-annual-bah-humbug-break.html
Life, theology and writing. Okay, some crabbing and moaning, too. Friday, December 6, 2013. DON THE BAPTIST'S ANNUAL BAH, HUMBUG, BREAK-EVERYBODY'S -HEART, CHRISTMAS POST. Christmas imagery is filled with Heavenly Choirs musically heralding the Savior's birth. One problem with that: it never happened. There is zero evidence that angels sing. I know, I know, I'm trampling all over your cherished childhood memories. Tough. It's simply not found in scripture. 8220;Glory to God in the highest heaven,. Like i...

Observations From Hadleyville: THOUGHTS ON CHRISTIAN FICTION
http://hadlyville.blogspot.com/2007/07/thoughts-on-christian-fiction.html
Life, theology and writing. Okay, some crabbing and moaning, too. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. THOUGHTS ON CHRISTIAN FICTION. Let me preface this by saying I am offering a critique, not a sour grapes criticism. I realize that there are business realities to publishing that I know not of. I realize that as an unpublished novelist— articles and cartoons, yes. Novels, no. 8212;I do not have the experience in the industry to even know what I don’t know. Don the Baptist’s Ninety-five— Give-or-Take. I do not believ...

http://hadlyville.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-myth-of-sinless-perfection.html
Life, theology and writing. Okay, some crabbing and moaning, too. Sunday, September 2, 2012. THE MYTH OF SINLESS PERFECTION. During my freshman year of college we called it " Getting Tinked. The term came from a remark from one of the students, who said the Sinless Perfection movement sweeping the campus was like God plowing through the students, knocking them over; tink, tink, tink. We're not talking about "sinners" here. C'mon! You have to be "saved" by Jesus, "washed in the blood of the lamb! Day you ...

Observations From Hadleyville: REMEMBER THE MAGINOT LINE!
http://hadlyville.blogspot.com/2008/03/remember-maginot-line.html
Life, theology and writing. Okay, some crabbing and moaning, too. Tuesday, March 25, 2008. REMEMBER THE MAGINOT LINE! Between World Wars One and Two the French decided they'd had enough of German military depredations. So- at great expense- they built and manned a hugely fortified wall all along the French/German border. As George Patton was wont to say, " Fixed fortifications are monuments to man's stupidity. The Hebrews used DAY quite loosely. DAY of the Lord. Don't get your panties in a bunch. I'm...

Observations From Hadleyville: SATAN CLAUS ...REALLY?
http://hadlyville.blogspot.com/2013/12/satan-claus-really.html
Life, theology and writing. Okay, some crabbing and moaning, too. Tuesday, December 17, 2013. SATAN CLAUS .REALLY? I'm hearing from a lot of Christian parents who think the idea of Santa Claus is baad. I assume that means your children do not have Batman or Merida pajamas. Oh, and I'm sure you don't let them waste time playing with toys either. It's just Navigators Discipleship courses from the age of three, right? Dr Hendricks related a story to his students from his first pastorate. A Woman in his ...

Life, theology and writing. Okay, some crabbing and moaning, too. Friday, July 18, 2008. THE REAL BATTLE BETWEEN SCIENCE AND RELIGION. The scientific method has been an extremely useful method of problem solving and expanding mastery over the material world. Despite that, many religious people are wary of science and scientists. Do you ever wonder why? In large part it's statements like the following. Richard Lewontin, New York Review of Books,. I still think the scientific method is useful and in fact a...

Observations From Hadleyville: THE THREEFOLD PROGRESSION OF MAN
http://hadlyville.blogspot.com/2007/11/threefold-progression-of-man.html
Life, theology and writing. Okay, some crabbing and moaning, too. Wednesday, November 21, 2007. THE THREEFOLD PROGRESSION OF MAN. Augustine, the great theologian, discovered an intriguing progression in the Biblical narrative. The Bible outlines the possibilities of mankind BEFORE sin came into creation, where we all live now and what God's plan is for our ultimate destiny. These are all summed up in how we relate to sin and death. Augustine called this "The Threefold Progression of Mankind.". 8221; Ive ...
