Why am I so hard on Republican Christians? This is why. If you are a true Christian, no, let me say it this way, you are only a true Christian if you have been broken by Christ. Period. That is the benchmark. If you have not been flat on your face, or curled up into … Continue reading The Tares in Power

Open Letter To Muslims In The West
Author's Note: I am reposting this after the latest horrific attack on Israel by Hamas. It is not concerned with that conflict per se. It is intended as a quiet read, meant for a quiet moment. But quiet moments may come into very short supply. Even now weeks after Oct 7, the streets of Western cities fill … Continue reading Open Letter To Muslims In The West
Sheep Dogs, Wolves and the Lamb of God

Mind exits body in a loss perceptible on the deepest … Continue reading The Resurrected Elephant in the Room
The Answer’s In the Back
I think I'm really starting to love this new iteration of the American Liberal. The way you love the happily retarded. Now, the anachronistic slur--not a slur really, as I hope we'll see--is intended only to set a time frame. I worked in the early 1970's at the now defunct Mansfield Training Center for the … Continue reading The Answer’s In the Back
Introduction
My name is Dan Bennett. I'm a Christian. This blog is, as of its inception, a vanity project rather than Evangelization. It is an attempt to explore what it means to be a Christian in today's world, from a necessarily singular and personal perspective. This seems a truism. Who else could anyone speak for but … Continue reading Introduction
