Happy Monday – Tuesday Edition
After a three or four day weekend, Tuesday can be worse than Monday when it comes to time to get back to the daily grind. So we bring you Happy Monday Tuesday Edition. Let’s get on the good foot.
Okay, that probably makes it worse. Let’s try again:
Why We Have Memorials
Today is Memorial Day in the United States. (Since many of us have a three day weekend, look for Happy Monday on Tuesday this week.) While I’m not suggesting Memorial Day is a religious holiday, there is definitely a biblical basis for memorial. Continue reading
Boy Scouts and How Christians Will Respond
UPDATE: The SBC will vote next week, June 11 or 12, on a resolution encouraging all of its 16 million members to withdraw support of the Boy Scouts. 4,000 troupes sponsored by the SBC and 100,000 scouts would be directly affected. Read that full story here.
By now you’ve heard that the Boy Scouts will be lifting the ban on gay members. The change will take effect on January 1. The ban on openly gay leaders will remain in place, but both sides agree it’s only a matter of time.
I expect many local troupes will suddenly find they are unwelcome at local churches. Not on Sunday morning, but during their regular scout meetings in what would otherwise be an empty gym or fellowship hall. Churches that currently share their meeting space or even storage areas with Boy Scouts are suddenly going to see the Scouts as a “gay friendly” organization. Before it comes up at your local church, let me tell why this is a bad idea. Continue reading
Number 666
The Master’s Table has been online since May of 2008, and this is post # 666. For the biblical back story on the number 666 you will want to review Revelation 13. All of chapter 13 describes the first and second beast, and the final verse, 18, cites 666 as the number of the beast, being the number of man. If seeing the number freaks you out (say $6.66 change out of a 10 dollar bill, or a blog with 666 posts) then consider the following.
