The Frozen Frontiersman

THIS IS A RANT.

I meet far too many “Christians” who are, for all tenses and purposes, “Bible-Dumb.” You know, the I’ve-never-read-most-of-the-Old-Testament types. “Its too long.” “Its too boring.” “I don’t understand why Numbers and Obadiah even exist.” Understandable, yet alarming. Why do we give up so quickly? I am just sick of hearing polls quoted by pastors that expose literally 90-95% of Christians and the so called “Bible-believing” lot as basically biblically handicapped.

I don’t really want to harp on the “why” of this issue–the reasons are endless and simple to discern at the same time. WE DON’T KNOW THE WHOLE BIBLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT TAUGHT TO US ANYMORE. This is sad, but so very true. Something that you the reader must learn about me is: at the same time that I am very outspoken and zealous for truth, I hate hearing myself whine and complain about something I myself am not willing to take action in fixing. This is why, in part, we (my wife, church, and I) opened a music venue. I was becoming sick with the state of Christian music and its apparent lack of conviction and wisdom. So, we’re gonna do something about it. When we retain the full counsel of God, ie. Scripture in its entirety, vast landscapes for ministry open up before us.

This is a preemptive strike.

To soften the blow of my velvet brick to your glassy existence, I want to walk with you (if you think you have anything to gain from in-depth devotion to Jesus-The Word (John 1)). I have led several of my newer and younger friends here to simply “up-armor.” This is a verb used by the military when they fortify a vehicle with thicker, firmer armor because they KNOW this body will see fire. I want to strengthen and encourage. And I KNOW that those who see frontline duty, WILL see serious shots fired, action, and casualty. If you seek to take the Gospel to a lost and dying generation, you need as much help as possible. I’m here for that help.

Without further ado, I will now take us on a day-by-day jaunt through the eye-opening book of Habakkuk. Yes, that’s one of those little ones in the middle of the Bible that no one reads.

Stay tuned…this is revolution.
