Learning as I go . . .

This is an apology to many of you who get posts from Attempts at Honesty by email. I made a mistake and I’m sorry for it.

WordPress (the platform I use to manage the blog) uses plugins to add functionality. I had been using one plugin that provided many functions that I didn’t use so I decided to find more efficient options. I chose to add only the functions that I really need. In theory, this will speed page load times.

Unfortunately, when I deleted the all-in-one plugin, I didn’t realize that it would also disable email distribution of the posts. So you may have missed the last post or two.

I have now added all the email addresses to the new list so everyone who signed up should be getting this post by email. I’m learning as I go . . .

If you haven’t seen an email from Attempts at Honesty in a while, feel free check out the most recent posts to see what you missed. If you are getting this by email, links to recent posts appear below.

About Mark McIntyre

A follower of Jesus Christ who shares observations about how Scripture should impact the church and the world. Mark is the original author and editor of Attempts at Honesty.

God is the initiator

We are wilfully ignorant of God. We are ignorant because we choose to be. The coming of Jesus confronts us in our rebellion and forces us to make a choice. We can choose to remain as we are or engage in the process of learning to respond to God’s initiative.

This little light of mine – Thoughts on Matthew 5:14-16

Jesus words about believers being the light of the world are familiar to most Christians. What does it mean to be the light of the world and how do we go about doing it?

Even the King

I am encouraged by the hopeful expectation expressed by David. David expects that deliverance will come, it is only a question of when.

Abusive Churches

Some thoughts on abusive churches prompted by an article by Pat Zukeran of the same title.

Is there more than one God?

Christianity believes (because the Bible declares) that there is only one God. And as we learned yesterday in Question 4, there are specific things to be believed about that one God as revealed in the Bible.

A follow-up to some comments

In February of last year (2012), I published a post entitled “The temptation of anger in response to militant atheism.” That post received a number of comments from those who challenged some of my assertions. The commentors also asked some very good questions. In this post, I attempt to answer some of the challenges and questions.
