It’s so…meaty.
Today’s guest post comes from my friend and blogging hero, Sammy Adebiyi. I can say, in all honesty, that Sammy is my blogging soulmate. I think things and then he writes them–often with more passion and wit that I could ever conjure up. I’m honored and excited to feature him on Modern Reject. I hope … Read this post
Look, I’m no Moses. I have neither seen the burning bush in the wilderness nor climbed down from the mountain after seeing God face-to-face. I have, however, heard God speak–many times, in fact. I have seen people roll their eyes, or raise their brows when during conversation I say something like, “…and the Lord told … Read this post
Phew, okay. Here we go… Yesterday, I promised that I would tackle the issue of prophecy. Is it for today? If so, how? Many of you had a lot of good questions, some of which had consistent themes. I’ll try to address as many of those questions as I can, but remember, this is just … Read this post
I was trying to remember if I had ever heard the word “prophetic” preached from the pulpit during my first fews years of being a believer. Looking back, I don’t think I had. I attended a church, as young Christian, that was a bit charismatic (if there is such a thing). Some people spoke in … Read this post
My husband and I have long discussed whether or not Jesus was a funny man. You know, not funny “ha ha” but other kinds of funny. Was he jovial, a jokster, a goof? Did He like to play pranks on His disciples? Is that really what He was doing when He said John was His … Read this post
I heard a pastor tell the story once of his brief, albeit, passionate addiction to…video games. That’s right. Everyday, around lunch time, he would escape from his church office and find his way to the local mall. There, while munching on greasy fries, he would empty his pockets of quarters into his favorite arcade game. He would … Read this post
Before becoming a Christian, I thought of God as a kind of grand puppeteer. I mean, I didn’t tend to think He was an evil puppet master, but I certainly didn’t think God was intimate, personal, or present. I imagined Him sitting on His throne in the clouds, judging us from above, interjecting His hand … Read this post
I remember the day well. My friend came to me emotionally distraught. She was dating a Godly, cool, funny guy whom she loved very much. She wanted to marry him. She was certain he was the one. But, there was one problem…. …his parents. This young man’s parents were living in sin. Behind closed doors, … Read this post
I know that as I begin this post, there may be a few individuals who might disagree with me and that’s okay. Of course, despite what people often assume, I’m really not looking to pick a fight. This is just a question I have been mulling over lately: How important is theology? I am obviously … Read this post
As promised (’cause I like to keep my promises, especially promises regarding Baskin Robbins that I make to myself), today is the follow-up post to yesterday’s post, Spiritual Gifts: Who Needs ‘Em?. Turns out, most of you believe in spiritual gifts after all. Cool. You even believe in the taboo, swept-under-the-rug, crazy, “charismatic” gifts like … Read this post
