Ryan T. Anderson has written a new article on polyamory entitled, “How the Media Are Promoting Polyamory. The New ‘Marriage Equality’?” In it, he describes the recent push for marriage equality for polygamists that actually began before the Supreme Court ruling. Turns out it was the plan all along: Before the Supreme Court’s ruling, Professor…
Kirsten Powers: “Crush Planned Parenthood” Article
Kudos to Kirsten Powers, an evangelical, independent-minded Democrat, for having the courage and conviction to stand against the political pressure of conformity and speak the truth about a glaring, yet legal, atrocity in our world today. For so long, we have turned a blind eye to the systematic, legal and profitable killing of unborn children now…

Prone to Wander, Lord I Feel it
“How can I pardon you? Your children have forsaken me and have sworn by those who are no gods. When I fed them to the full, they committed adultery and trooped to the houses of whores. Jeremiah 5:7 I am no one to throw stones or cast desparaging opinions on this people. I, too, am…

The Church in the Second Stage of Exile
A must-read by Steve McAlpine on the “Stage Two” exile of the Church. If you are wondering what is going on with the church and culture (the world) and where we are heading, you need to take the time to read the entire article. I think he’s probably spot on. Here’s an excerpt: Second Stage…
The Sky Isn’t Falling
There has been a great deal of chatter, as well as no small measure of fear and trepidation among the Christian community following the release of a Pew Research Poll that Christianity in America is in decline. This cartoon pretty well sums up the reality of what is happening. Credit: http://adam4d.com/death-of-christianity/
July 4th Freedom Run in Downtown Chattanooga
So, we’ve come up with an event for this summer that we believe will be a lot of fun for our church family (and really, anybody who would like to join us!). We’re going to host a July 4th 5k and 10k run that we’re calling The Gathering Freedom Run. It’s obviously related to Independence…
The Truth of the Moment: Recovering from a Spiritual Slump
If you’ve ever been in a play or any kind of production where you were required to recite memorized lines, you know the most terrifying thing to happen is to forget your lines. You freeze, palms begin to sweat, you get the deer-in-headlights look, heat begins to overwhelm your body, causing instantaneous beads of sweat…
Get moving!
INtention without ACTION is still INACTION.
Mother’s Day at The Gathering – A Safe Place
I know that Mother’s Day can be one of the absolute worst Sundays to go to church. There are unmarried women who want to be married but aren’t, married women who desperately want to have children but can’t, men and women who have lost their mothers and the pain is overwhelming. There are children who…
4 Reasons I Volunteered for Jury Duty
That’s right, I volunteered for Jury Duty. No, to my knowledge, I’ve not lost my ever-loving mind. I thought it through and I volunteered to serve for the next four months on a Grand Jury. I suppose I should start out with how I was actually able to volunteer since, normally, one is “volunteered” for…
Grand Jury Duty
…and so it begins.
God’s Gift of People
I was studying in 2 Timothy 4 this morning where in verse 9, Paul tells Timothy to “do your best to come to me soon.” Clearly, as Paul goes on in that passage, some things have not gone well. He has been abandoned by everyone, even having one guy, Alexander the Coppersmith, doing him “great…
This picture looks familiar. Almost identical to the one two years ago when I first had the surgery on my shoulder. Had a good night though. Since I just noticed what shirt I have on, it’s a good time to encourage you to help out with Feed My Starving Children if you can.
People of integrity and Courage
This is the most amazing picture I’ve seen coming out of the Baltimore riots. May God allow healing to begin
Godly Surgeon
I’m blessed to have a man of God for a surgeon who knows his own limits and prays for me before he operates on me.
