If you’ve ever said to yourself, “I’m a better Christian than {$person} because I …”
- have a daily “quiet time”
- have certain dress standards
- speak in tongues
- don’t go to movies
- have been baptized
- don’t drink alcohol
- don’t listen to rock music
- never miss a church service
… then [you’re doing it wrong](http://icanhascheezburger.com/2007/04/28/youre-doing-it-wrong-2/).

Some of my spiritual influences and education over the past two years:
- From Charlie Boyd I learned not to let anyone tell me I need to do anything special or extra to merit God’s favor or attention. Working overtime to “keep all the rules” is not only unnecessary, but dangerous. (See the entire book of […]

The Vatican is blasting Dan Brown’s novel The Da Vinci Code. I’m not Catholic, but I completely agree with their assessment. The book does not make a distinction between verifiable fact and rampant speculation in it’s presentation of Church history.
Because of that, its near-blasphemous indictments against Christianity and Christ Himself will almost certainly confuse potential […]
The end of worship leading? and new church sewer issues.
