Hi, My name is Tara and I’m a Da Vinci Code Addict

I have to admit that the only reason I took the time to read Dan Brown’s infamous “novel” was after seeing the movie. I didn’t even have any expectations for the thing. I just wanted to read an entertaining story and I thought Ron Howard did an excellent job. If you don’t want to be spoiled, I’m [...]

The Dichotomy of ‘Modern Emergents’

Lately I’ve been reading quite a few books by Brian McLaren and others regarding the Emergent “Conversation” (that term really sounds silly, but vocabulary and semantics are oh so important…. aren’t they?).

Thank You For the Pain (with apologies to de Sade)

Brian McLaren’s Inferno: the provocative church leader explains his view of hell
This is the kind of thing where McLaren really loses credibility with [...]

Welcome to Rev22.org

Ok so what is this blog and why is it here? Well that’s the question isn’t it? Let me start with the “why” first.

Reason 1: Because I’m a programming geek at heart and just wanted a playground to be able to write code whenever I felt the urge.
Reason 2: To provide a place for free [...]

Overcoming False Religion With Truth Spoken In Love

Ephesians 4:14-16 (NIV) Â
14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. 15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is [...]
