Review of “The Post-church Christian”

Not long ago, I heard Millennials (AKA “Generation Y”) were ditching church in record numbers. Through an interview on The Unitive, I found myself at PostChurchChristian.com. They offer a free copy of The Post-Church Christian: Dealing with the Generational Baggage of Our Faith to bloggers willing to review the book. Suddenly, my path was clear…

Inflation: Jeremiah 12

“Why do all the faithless live at ease?…You are always on their lips but far from their hearts. …

The Sound of Wailing: Jeremiah 9

“The sound of wailing is heard from Zion: How ruined we are! How great is our shame!” (Jer. 9:19) Throughout scripture, wailing is common when the Lord comes in judgment and leaves no hope of escape or recovery. There was wailing when all the first-born were slain in Egypt, and in John’s…

The Jesus Pictures: Guest Post by Cameron Fultz

Recently, a friend lent me a book entitled The Jesus Pictures by Cameron Fultz. In the book, Cameron outlines a Christ-saturated approach to the scriptures that is taught by the scriptures themselves (Luke 24:45-47; John 5:39-40). I feel this is deeply important. What follows here is material I’ve excerpted from chapter one of Cameron’s book (with his…

Christ in the Feasts

In December of 2011, the Lord drew me to study the seven feasts that Israel observed (see Leviticus 23). Throughout 2012, I studied the feasts off and on. My church also let me teach about each feast as it came up on the calendar. Gradually, I organized my notes into a new booklet, and I’m…

Thanks, Mitch! *** Revelation is nothing if not a book about the supremacy of Christ. From start to finish, it is full of images that communicate both the fact and the spirit of His supremacy. What do…

Suggestion Box

I’m going to step out here and do something I’ve never done before. This is a question for readers of The Voice of One: Is there anything you’d like me to write a post about? This is definitely a risky move because this post could easily hang out there, flapping in the cyber-wind, with nary…

The Need for Ante-creation: Jeremiah 4 & 5

Picture by Patrick Murphy: http://inspiredsketch.blogspot.com/ An excerpt from my booklet entitled, “Jeremiah: Fire Shut up in My Bones.” *** “I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; and at the heavens, and their light was gone…I looked, and there were no people; every bird in the sky had flown away. I looked,…

Something New (Sort of )

I’m happy to announce something new at The Voice of One. Well, sort of new, anyway. On the far left of the blog are links to booklets I have written. That isn’t new. What is new is that they are now in PDF format. Each booklet contains two links: one for reading on your computer,…

Interview with Bryan Halferty about “The Unitive”

Bryan Halferty is a guy I’ve known for…about 13 years. During that time I’ve watched him evolve from a wet-behind-the-ears college kid to a family-man. He’s also a minister with a deep desire to see the church and the world experience Jesus as fully as possible. One avenue through which Bryan connects with people is…
