Bible in 5 Statments (Using 80s Movies)

By Deacon Hall • Dec 16th, 2009 • Category: bible stuff, engaging

So, here’s the thing.  I’m kinda new to this stuff on the “Internet.”  I’m actually kinda like the new kid in school.  Nobody really knows anything about me, so I don’t really get picked for many teams; and I don’t know anyone else, so I can’t really ask anyone to hang out.  Well, consider this [...]

By Chad Crawford • Dec 7th, 2009 • Category: bible stuff, engaging

Who doesn’t love a good meme? My friend Tripp tagged me here at your Homebrewed Christianity, and I’m excited to participate. I may or may not have asked him to tag me. No shame in this game. I offer my humble response below. But first, the rules.
Summarise the Bible in five statements, the first one [...]

By Tripp Fuller • Dec 3rd, 2009 • Category: bible stuff, engaging

Mike Morrell tagged me in this meme in which the ‘tagged’ attempt to…
Summarise the Bible in five statements, the first one word long, the second two, the third three, the fourth four and the last five words long. Or possibly you could do this in descending order. Tag five people.
So here’s my attempt (constructed during [...]



Don’t Cling to Me

By Chad Crawford • Apr 12th, 2009 • Category: bible stuff, living

The words of Jesus to Mary Magdalene when he appeared to her always sound a little harsh to me. I try to read them in that gentle Jesus voice you always hear in the passion plays. I expect Jesus’ words to his disciples in his post-resurrection appearances to be extremely loving, calming, happy words of [...]

Progressive Christians, Tradition, and the New

By Tripp Fuller • Feb 20th, 2009 • Category: bible stuff, church history, thinking

The Church is always facing new challenges, always drawing from new sources, always trying to be Christian in a new way, in a new place. Important to me is what is meant by new or better yet where God is in the new. As Clayton points out Church history is full of new [...]



Judge Wapner and the Trial of Abraham

By Tripp Fuller • Jan 16th, 2009 • Category: bible stuff, living

I was blessed with a ticket to the most postponed trial I know of, Abraham’s attempted murder of his son in Genesis 22.  The trial was hosted by a wonderful synagogue with the ability to make wrestling with scripture an entertaining 3 hour event.  I didn’t know what to expect when a friend from my [...]

Terror Texts You Can Sing!

By Tripp Fuller • Nov 24th, 2008 • Category: bible stuff, books, engaging

I am not sure this is what Phyllis Trible was thinking when she wrote ‘Texts of Terror,’ but then again if this musical takes off maybe they can get her to hep work on the sequel.
