Christmas In August with C.S. Lewis

By on Thursday, August 4th, 2011 | No Comments

In C.S. Lewis’ book “The Loin, The Witch and the Wardrobe,” readers are taken to the mythical land of Narnia.  When Narnia is living under the authority of the witch, it is “always winter, but never Christmas.”  It is a land filled with darkness and despair, devoid of hope and without possibility.  Today our world […]

Recover The WOW-Factor

By on Thursday, July 28th, 2011 | No Comments

Sherry was an attractive girl – very attractive.  She dressed well, had a great smile, a warm personality, and an infectious giggle.  Her favorite word was WOW!  She could not speak three sentences without inserting that word somewhere in her conversation. I met Sherry in the AGAPE Club – the Christian club that met before […]

Recently I found myself in the Emergency Room of a hospital here in Richmond, Virginia.  I was there to visit the family of a young child in my church who had suffered an eye injury.  Thankfully, the young fellow is fine.

Your God Isn’t Angry With You

By on Thursday, December 2nd, 2010 | No Comments

In a recent post (What Happened At The Cross? –  http://nieporte.name/?p=1017) I stated my conviction that the “penal substitution” view of atonement was not generated from within the scripture, but imposed upon it from the outside.  I also stated, from my viewpoint as a Trinitarian, that such a view gave God something of a multiple-personality […]

Life After Life

By on Tuesday, November 16th, 2010 | No Comments

Read John 11 – Our society is preoccupied with issues related to  “life after death.”  Books, articles and television programs have addressed the question: “What happens to a person after death?”  People want to know—when facing death—if  they simply cease to exist or if there’s something more.

By on Saturday, October 16th, 2010 | No Comments

Who Is Jesus?  If you do an internet search of the name “Jesus,” you’ll have to admit he’s a popular person. One search engine produced over 150,000,000 pages devoted to Jesus.

Incestuous Relationships in the Church by Paul Donnan (This and other blogs by Paul can be found at http://well-beings.blogspot.com/) Sound like a tabloid expose’ on yet another church scandal?  This one is even more rampant than our Catholic brothers’ troubles.  However this insidious problem is flying below the radar and hasn’t even been detected by […]

The Cat And Dog Test

By on Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 | No Comments

When speaking about being a Christian witness, Chinese missionary Hudson Taylor used to suggest what he called “the cat and dog test.”    Taylor would say in his sermons, “If your father and mother, your sister and brother, if the very cat and dog in the house are not happier for your being a Christian, […]
