I was studying this week and came across some colorful commentary on church history. Most specifically I found a book on Heretics (see “Heretics” by G. K. Chesterton – 1905). Now, by colorful I mean it was actually, REALLY interesting. Yet when compared to the life of the author himself, the content of the book pales.

The writer, one Gilbert Keith Chesterton, was a most gifted and prolific writer. In addition to 69 published books before his death G.K. left another 10 or so books unfinished. Chesterton defended Faith, Christianity, and the importance of Orthodoxy (the authorized, accepted christian doctrines) with fire and inspiration.

First, a little back story:

CalebStrong.org (CS) began as a Men’s Fraternity group that simply kept meeting after the three seasons. We explored Apologetics, Biblical history, and Strength of Character, as found in the example given in the Books found in the Bible, like Joshua, Daniel, and many others.

Family Update: Our First Home

I am not sure if you have followed the story of our move to MinArctica (aka Minnesota).  So here is the quick catch-up:

We moved here about 4 years ago due to both calling and career. We have struggled with a few things here and there but for the most part we have enjoyed our new home.  We have been renting since we got here. We  wanted to be sure we found a solid community, church and school system for our family to be a part of. Last year we thought we found a home to call our own, but circumstances changed. First with the home itself and then with work and health issues.  The short version is that God had … Click to Continue →
