Question 57 — when we come to the end of life’s journey

Perhaps I should let my friend and superior blogger, Greg England, handle this question as I’m sure it comes up in his work from time to time. Since he is busy doing things like playing with a grandchild (Hi, Peanut!) and working for a living, I’ll go ahead and take a shot at it. Cremation [...]

When God Stands Still — question 56

I can remember the illustration as if I heard it yesterday. I couldn’t have been more than eight years old. Cars back then had no console and cup holder in the middle of the front seat. The entire seat was a bench and few people wore seat belts. In some cars, they were considered options [...]

It’s Up To You… question 55

Although I’ve yet to get a comment on the last blog, I thought I’d update this one so I can get back to writing my real books and maybe, just maybe, write some on the online novel. I have a pile of about 19 questions still at tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com and will take more as I can [...]

Questions 52, 53, and 54

[NOTE: are you a minister, youth leader, etc. looking for a very cool sermon/devo? Go to Gunny Mark's blog (link on right) and read what he put up about hitting walls. That'll preach! Leave him a note to thank him for his service]  Some quicker takes than normal… Yes I would like to hear more [...]

51 – What Should Be Our Response to Illegal Aliens?

At the risk of alienating (pun intended) those on my left and right, I have decided to go ahead and tackle this question.  There are those in our church who believe that illegal aliens have no rights and should be deported. Others say that goes against our Christian faith and that we should, instead, offer [...]

Should I Stay or Should I Go? Question 50b

I think I’ve sterilized this question so that the congregation can’t be determined. It is a follow up to the last question I answered last week. [We] have no desire to convince anyone that clapping is RIGHT. We can accept they don’t want to do it, and we feel no need to push it. But they [...]

50b on its way…

I’ll try to update sometime this weekend. I just got back in town and I am snowed under with work, meetings, and a wedding. My computer didn’t want me to connect to Tentpegs when I was in my hotel for some reason so I haven’t updated this page for awhile. Sorry! I’ll get on it [...]

Somebody’s Not Happy… question 50

This is somewhat of a landmark. Fifty questions. I wasn’t aware, when I started this series, that there would be this many questions fired off. I’m enjoying this and hope you are, too. This particular individual — unless I miss my guess — is not a happy person right now. Why does the church cater [...]

Jesus, but not the church? Question 49

This one came over the transom at tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com recently and I decided to let it jump the queue. Can you be a Christ follower if you are not a card carrying member of the Christendom union? like Melchizedek was a priest outside of the levitical system is the whole of our religious institutions the end [...]
