		<description><![CDATA[as a preface to the second part of my &#8216;growing up christian&#8217; post i&#8217;d like to make it clear that i am in no way attempting to be negative or overly critical. i am simply interested in digging up my past in a way that will move me forward to being more Christ-like. if it ever comes of like i&#8217;m preaching, it&#8217;s because i&#8217;m pleading with myself to keep going. i got way off track in my first post and didn&#8217;t bother to edit it, so i will try to be more focused in this one. preface done. so much of what we learn as evangelicals is that there are a specific set of core beliefs that one must affirm in order to be considered &#8220;in the fold,&#8221; so to speak. this list includes the following doctrinal affirmations: God created the world in six days (literal or figurative), we are...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/american-christianity/growing-up-christian-part-dos/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am stunned by the lack of compassion and the brutal use of force by Christians. My Jesus never did any of that. I&#8217;m at a loss. The below conversation is real. I&#8217;ve only removed the names for anonymity. Below it you will find my thoughts about the whole thing. This conversation started as a result of a comment about the immigration law that was recently passed in Arizona PERSON 1 &#8220;is planning a trip out to Az. I will support them regardless of what the uninformed Boston city council says.&#8221; Now, these are the comments that followed: Dana Fisher: Maybe we should reread James 2. Maybe their motives aren&#8217;t pure and maybe they are trying to take advantage but who are we to judge? Hasn&#8217;t Christ called us to something higher than persecuting someone because they are from another country? Since when was this land &#8220;ours&#8221; and not the...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/american-christianity/keep-your-sword-ill-keep-my-jesus/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.. ~Matt 11:28 &#160; “I want you to take your hands off the reigns and trot over the bars without holding on.” The instructor said. “You want me to do what?” I looked down at her perplexed from atop a beautiful, large horse. I hadn’t ridden on a horse in over 20 years and I had only been on this one for about 15 minutes. “You’re leaning forward with your shoulders, using your own power to keep you up.” She replied. “You need to sit back more and allow the horse to do the work.” I’m a sports guy, I’ve played them my entire life. The instructor went on to explain that in sports you are trained to lead with your shoulder and in horseback riding it’s the complete opposite. There’s this large, powerful horse...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/christian-living/let-the-horse-do-the-work/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[this little excerpt is taken from John Piper&#8217;s blog (you can read the rest here): Why does God allow Satan to live? &#8230;before I answer it, let&#8217;s make sure that we agree that it is true that God could take Satan out anytime he chose. Because I think there are some who would say, &#8220;He really can&#8217;t, because of some rights (or authority, independence, free will, etc.) that Satan has.&#8221; But the reason I know God can take Satan out without turning me into an automaton or breaking any rules is because he is going to take him out. He is going to throw him in the lake of fire. And the question is, &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t he do it yesterday? If he had done it yesterday I wouldn&#8217;t be tempted the way I am today. The Bible says, &#8216;Lead me not into temptation.&#8217; Well, the best way not to be...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/american-christianity/why-does-god-allow-satan-to-live/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For in the image of God has God made man. &#8211; Genesis 9:6 Our DNA is hard coded to worship Jesus. For any of us who follow Christ daily this fact is undeniable. When we worship it stirs up emotions we don&#8217;t feel at any other time. At points it drives us to tears of repentance, sometimes tears of joy, and other times tears of shear awe. For those who don&#8217;t serve this God, who have doubt, who have questions, this seems perplexing. How can worshiping something no one can see help me? How can it possible change my life? How do I know it&#8217;s even real? John 16:13 says &#8220;But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth.&#8221; When Jesus died, rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven God sent His Spirit as our guide.(John 16:5-11) In worshiping God and surrendering your...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/radical-christianity/were-all-searching/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. – Proverbs 22:6 Over the past few months I have had several run-ins with friends from my past. It’s always good to see old friends and reminisce about the past, catch up on what you missed, and question where you’re headed. God has really placed a burden on my heart to really contemplate each of these encounters individually. To see the different places these people are in their lives and to understand how they got there, but also to praise Him for the foundation He gave me. Going to a Christian school my entire life jaded me as a youngster. I wasn’t the strongest Christian in high school, and in fact, most of my friends were stronger. I look back now and see where some of them are and my...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/christian-living/products-of-our-environment/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>
