Preparing for the End:  The Sands of Iwo Jima
Thursday, January 31, 2008, posted by Steve McCranie - (40.00)

		Often our spiritual life can be compared to a John Wayne movie.  Oh, really? Yeah, really.   For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 Sounds like the battle of Iwo Jima to me.

The Acts:  Radical Christian Living
Sunday, January 13, 2008, posted by Steve McCranie - (41.06)

		The Acts record the church life of the early church as being radically different than church life today.  Consider, for example...   And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. You know, that's pretty radical living! Can I trust you enough to live that way?  Or, if I do, am I going to end up abused, forgotten, abandoned and alone? Good question.  You got a good answer?

The Acts:  No "Psychobabble Rap" Found Here
Tuesday, January 1, 2008, posted by Steve McCranie - (37.01)

		You know, all this preaching on the selfish "felt needs" of fallen man gets a little old, especially when you compare it to the preaching of Peter in the book of Acts.  Sounds, as Alan Parsons would say, "like psychobabble rap to me." I don't know why I'm scared of the lightning Trying to reach me Help me to find what I don't wanna know You're taking me there but I don't wanna go I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me Psychobabble all psychobabble Psychobabble all psychobabble I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me

The Joy of Believing the Lie

“I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State.
My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own,
so that both of them together is certain death.”
George Carlin (1937- )

     I am keenly aware of the fact that you may be wondering about a guy who would write a book entitled, Love Jesus, Hate Church. You probably have some questions, maybe many questions, about the origins of a book that makes people as uncomfortable as Love Jesus, Hate Church has proven to do.
     You may be asking yourself, "How can you be a Christian and use the words Love and Hate and Jesus and Church all in the same sentence?  It just seems so wrong."
     And, you're right. It does seem wrong.
     True.  But wrong.

     Yep, I would probably be wondering the same thing if the tables were turned and I found myself in your shoes.

     So, let me see if I can shed some light on who I am and why I do what I do by telling you a bit about myself and how I came to write Love Jesus, Hate Church.  Let me share with you, oh, how shall I put it— the joy of believing the lie. I believe this will give you a better grasp of who I am and why I wrote Love Jesus, Hate Church.
