You know, stuff
God is really showing me His grace and wisdom right now. After about 10 years with the same pastor (at two different churches) and lots of deep relationships with some great Christian brothers, God is leading me and my wife to step out and find his next home for us. My wife has not felt [...]

[H/T to Milton Stanley for this one] Jeff Weddle of Anti Itch Medication has a great post up about how we are all dying and how so few take the time to deal with eternity when it is not directly facing them or a loved one. Both points are true, and it is unfortunate that [...]

The topic and concept of Hell is one that fills volumes and that has been discussed since mankind first left the garden. With that said, I think the modern church has done a in service to the topic. We, the western Christian church, seems to have largely reached a point where we focus so much [...]

Well since it has been a long time since I published a update on how life is around the Being Frank world, I thought it would be a good time (as the blog is being rebooted) for that to occur. It seems fitting for the first post back to be about why we have been [...]

The NY Times as a piece up (here) on the results of a recent Pew Study on religious knowledge in America. I would be lying if I said I was surprised by the results – bottom line few American’s know a lot about their faith or the faiths of others. It turns out that Atheists, [...]

Over the last few months God has really shown me just how in charge He is. God really is in command of our lives (even if we think He is not, He will show us He is really in command of the Earth), and He does control the lives of us all. Too many times [...]

This is the time of year that so many people get excited about “the holidays”, but honestly even the “the holidays” is not a true statement, as this is really the CHRISTmas season. Unfortunately, the real reason for the season seems to be less and less part of “the season” each year. This season is [...]

Recently, I personally have been going through ALOT in my professional life. For the first time in my life I really was not sure how I was going to make it much longer without quitting / losing my job. This was not a bad day, but bad weeks leading to bad months. Throughout this time [...]

Alamo took numerous underages girls as his “brides” in the name of God and as his role as the ministry leader. Alamo even threatened the girls that they would lose [...]

Vanity Fair has a great story up about Marc Drier. Most people have forgotten about Drier, due to Bernie Madoff, but Drier stole hundreds for millions from hedgefunds and ran a ponsi scheme that finally brought him done.
