Church bashing or correction?
Posted by: Tsholo on: February 7, 2012
I was apprehensive about sharing this, cos I don’t believe as Christians we should be bashing the Church, or other church denominations, but at the same time, not speaking out against something like this says that I agree with it, doesn’t it. I’m not a member of Mars Hill. I’ve never met Mark Driscoll and [...]
Being Christ-like
Posted by: Tsholo on: October 5, 2011
If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like‑minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility [...]

In the subtle, in the party, in the noise, in the silence, in weird faces, and weird places, through stories, and ancient pages. Find Him. – @skillieskil (twitter) ======================= Read that on twitter a few days ago and really liked it. It’s a reminder that God is not found just in churches and buildings and [...]
Perspectives – more arisefest thoughts…
Posted by: Tsholo on: January 11, 2011
…or thoughts inspired by arisefest… i had a brilliant time at arisefest…seriously, too awesome. brett wrote a reflection piece on it here…which reminded me of a tweet i had seen a couple days after the fest. the artist brett was talking about on his blog said something to the effect of “last year i got [...]

i first heard about tree63 in 2003. that was the year i decided to stop listening to “secular” music (for about the third time since becoming a christian) and my radio was constantly dialed to CCFM (local christian music station). i really dug their stuff. and i found out they sang the wimpy song aka [...]
the ark really does stink…
Posted by: Tsholo on: August 11, 2010
…or why i still call myself a christian “The Church is like Noah’s ark: it stinks, but if you get out you’ll drown” – Shane Claiborne paraphrasing Reinhold Niebuhr. that explains my feelings on the church on the moment. i really can’t say i love the Church right now. i’m talking about the universal church [...]

how much of what i believe is indeed what I believe? how much of it is merely there because that’s what i’ve been taught? we all have a set of rules and moral behaviours that we are taught as kids to obey and we go through life with these rules as our basis for what [...]
Christianity should come with a disclaimer
Posted by: Tsholo on: May 14, 2010
It’s excerpt friday, and without further adieu… =========================== I think Christianity should come with a disclaimer. Something like… to find your life you must lose it…or take up your cross daily…or something like that. I heard somewhere that following Jesus will wreck you….this has become more and more aparent as I grow up. When you’re [...]
Freedom
Posted by: Tsholo on: February 19, 2010
“To the Jews who had believed Him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendents and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be [...]
To Guit or Not To Guit – that is the question…
Posted by: Tsholo on: February 16, 2010
As I already said, stewardship, to me at least, includes being thankful for and using your skills and passions and money to the glory of God. One of my passions is music. I love listening to it, I love singing it…and I really want to love writing it. I write lyrics, but I don’t write [...]
