Submit a question or topic to Attempts at Honesty

I would enjoy hearing from you if you have a suggested topic for a post or if you have a question about the Bible or church life. You can use the contact form on this blog, or you can enter your question or suggestion in the comments section at the bottom of this post.

I don’t offer this because I am an expert, but to stimulate discussion. The goal of the discussion is to arrive at a Biblically accurate viewpoint on the topic at hand allowing for legitimate disagreement where Scripture is not absolutely clear.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you with questions and suggestions.

Hugging Porcupines and Other Ostensibly Stupid Behaviors

The Porcupines Among Us Every church has one or more porcupines in attendance. The porcupine is the person who feels entitled to stand in judgment of the church and often acts in a way that is disruptive to body life through their sense of superiority and entitlement. They are not in open hostility, nor are […]

On the pursuit of relevance

So while I think there is nothing inherently wrong with wailing guitar solos and smoke machines as part of the worship experience, perhaps we should pump the brakes on the drive to make worship like a rock concert and the sermon like a motivational seminar.
