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 I realize that as an unpublished novelist— articles and cartoons, yes.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...

Observations From Hadleyville: THE MYTH OF SINLESS PERFECTION
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 ...

Another Day in Paradise →. Dying Like a Man. August 10, 2015. At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Which means, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? When some of those standing near heard this, they said, Listen, he’s calling Elijah. With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. Why did Jesus say that? But that explanation forgets that Jesus was a man. He had been betrayed by one...

Can You See Me? August 5, 2015. The man answered , Here is an astonishing thing! And they drove him out. Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him, he said, Do you believe in the Son of Man? He answered, And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.
