"Delusions of Grandeur"
February 29th, 2008As I was Blogulating, I thought, Hey! Maybe a snappy new title! Of course you all know I don't get too pumped up by: Reverend, Pastor, Prophet, Your Eminence, your holiness or any of that, but what about "Your Blogulence?" Has a nice ring to it, does… more »
"100 years from now, who will care?"
February 28th, 2008In 100 years, will anyone be thinking about you? Will you matter to anyone then? Sure, your life is very important to you now, just as mine is to me. And our families are important to us, but 100 years from now, will anyone be able to look back on a pict… more »
"The Lost Teachings of Jesus Christ"
February 27th, 2008Actually, they're not really lost, they're just swept under the carpet. You can find them in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the new testament of the bible. Isn't it strange that we rarely hear sermons on Jesus' teachings, (unless you are a… more »
"Dead Letter Office"
February 26th, 2008I received a letter asking " if God will (or can) change the hearts or minds of people". This is of course a condensed version of the question from a gentleman who's spouse has left him. He mentioned that his pastor went through a divorce and told him th… more »
Problem solved

Will Dogs go to Heaven?
February 24th, 2008Not just dogs, but cats and other animals too! Call me silly, but this is something that I think about often. The bible refers to dogs (or dog) 40 times in the bible. Although, throughout the entire old testament, the word dog is never related with anyth… more »
"School Shootings" - How to liven up your day . .
February 23rd, 2008This title is not meant to be disrespectful, but actually more of a "quote". On January 29, 1979, Brenda Ann Spencer, 16 years old and armed with a .22-rifle, opened fire at Cleveland Elementary School, killing two adults and wounding eight children and… more »
The Strait Scoop!
February 22nd, 2008Do you smoke? Do you like to have a beer or glass of wine occasionally? Are you Fat? If you've answered yes to any of the above questions, then you have no doubt had some preacher recite 1 Corinthians 6:19 to you at one time or another. 1 Corinthians… more »
The Magic Formula
February 21st, 2008There are millions of people who are gambling away their salvation. They are simply betting on the best looking horse. They pick a local church or flip through the television channels Sunday morning, then stop at the best looking one. That's usually… more »
The Pastors Wives
February 20th, 2008I am amazed at the letters that I (and my wife) receive from women who what to know what their role is as a pastors wife. They really don't know, and how could they? There is nothing in the bible that relates to the role of the pastors wife in the church… more »
God is in Control
February 19th, 2008No matter how we vote, it will be God that picks the next president of the United States. I hear allot of talk about change and make no mistake about it, there "will" be great change in the next 4 or 5 years. The birth pangs that Jesus spoke of are happe… more »
"Vanity, Pride and the Gatekeeper"
February 18th, 2008Telling the truth is not popular in the modern church and it isn't easy. I guess it never was. It wasn't easy when Jesus told the truth when he walked the earth and he was murdered by the religious leaders and people for telling it. So you can imagine, i… more »
"The Water"
February 17th, 2008I guess it may look hypocritical to some folks that on occasion I sign my letters as "Pastor" Dan Douglass, (technically, it's Reverend) when I've made it clear that I don't believe in using a title that would leave the impression that any one person is… more »
