Faith Recovery

On Turning Over Our Lives

When a regular Joe like me teaches a recovery lesson I think it’s most likely to be useful—or at least interesting—to start from exactly where I am myself.  I’m not so much presuming to instruct as just comparing notes. A series of articles on recovery. I’m on a team of leaders who do the teaching at […]

Misguided or Misleading?

I’ve long held that the primary objections atheists have against Christianity are emotional in nature, rather than intellectual. This doesn’t make their objections any less valid, in my opinion. Emotional objections are very real, and usually more difficult to wrestle with than purely intellectual issues, no matter what you do or don’t believe. We’re all […]

A True Contradiction?

It’s a tricky thing to engage an atheist in a debate over scriptural interpretation. They are by definition approaching the biblical writings under numerous presuppositions; namely that God doesn’t exist and the Bible is a man-made myth.  Therefore the motivation behind their challenges is not typically a desire for an open exchange of ideas or a sincere […]

On Trusting God (Two)

(Continued from Part 1) @frank_is_free: It’s interesting how you describe the relationship; symbiotic is the word that comes to mind. However, I’m still not sure how you know there to be two entities and not just one (you) believing there are two. You said you distinguish thoughts dropped by God from your own by the […]

Jesus Never Existed?

In a recent discussion about the historicity of Jesus, a gentleman going by the Twitter name “Nihilism and Dread” (‏@Jesse_MDM) posted this message to me. @roso_creative here’s a good video explaining it, you should check it out but I doubt you will. https://t.co/8KeChZZ0fS — Nihilism and Dread (@Jesse_MDM) August 25, 2016 This video is a […]

On Trusting God (One)

@frank_is_free: I often see believers pointing to faith as the reason why they hold their religious beliefs. Would you say your beliefs are more based on evidence than in general? @roso_creative (me): As compared to the average believer I know, I’d say I’m unusual in the degree to which evidence plays a role in my […]

A Hashtag Hand Grenade

I posted what I thought was a simple, innocent tweet the other day and was completely surprised by the responses I got to it. Here’s my tweet: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes.” #Romans #JesusChangesEverything — Robert Solberg (@roso_creative) August 3, 2016 […]

On The Serenity Prayer

We have a “wildcard” lesson built into our teaching rotation at my Celebrate Recovery meeting where we focus on the Serenity Prayer rather than one of the steps of recovery. This time around that wildcard lesson was assigned to me and as I dove into the prayer I started getting a little intimidated. There is […]

Happy Independence Day
