When is “Speaking Your Mind” a Bad Idea?
By: Rev. Ed Schneider, MPTh I had the honor of engaging in a group discussion concerning what others appreciated about those who regularly are involved with some iteration of public communication. These public communicators would include coaches, preachers, politicians, and other individual leaders from a wide variety of organizational responsibilities.

Watch Out! I’m About to Fuss!
I am sickened by and profoundly angry at fraudulent, hateful and arrogant preachers parading around as authentic representatives of God’s mercy, grace, peace, and empowerment of a resurrected Christ. One horrible example of this unfortunate reality is Greg Locke, a Tennessee based pastor and internet faux-Christian speaker.

Cheap, foolish, and biblical hypocrites are driving me more crazy than I already am!
Again, I will say this next part as clearly as I can. When referring to a scriptural reference it is far more important to know what the passage means, how it generally applies to humanity and then to you personally. If you get that far it would be incredibly useful NOT to rely on a singular verse out of context and how that verse may … Continue reading Cheap, foolish, and biblical hypocrites are driving me more crazy than I already am!

The Sadness of Undiscovered Faith
“What a terribly sad thing it can be to contemplate the subject of faith. My heart aches for those who pridefully extol their perceived weakness of Christian faith, especially as I realize they are quite literally doomed to never discover the inherent power or source of it.” Sermon excerpt from “The Irony of Christianity Faith” EDS (2008) Continue reading The Sadness of Undiscovered Faith

An Exercise in Clarity
By : Rev. Ed Schneider, MPTh Just yesterday I found myself in conversation with a church leader concerning teaching other Christians the practical value of highlighting the core of their understanding concerning faith. I shared with my clergy colleague that summarizing my own theological and doctrinal building blocks would be a challenge. The reason for this potential difficulty is after almost 700,000 words published, in … Continue reading An Exercise in Clarity
