If You’re Going to have a “Club” Church – Make it a Good One!

If You’re Going to have a “Club” Church – Make it a Good One!

by Bob Soco | May 8, 2022 | Church Life and Engagement, Church Practices and Traditions

Certainly, within my lifetime, I will not see the end of "club" churches. While they are adding to the collapse of Christianity in the West - primarily because most "club" churches are just awful, I am confident that their days are numbered. So, I thought I would...

Reflections on Lent; For Nepsis and Against Acedia.

Reflections on Lent; For Nepsis and Against Acedia.

by Bob Soco | Mar 18, 2022 | Reflections and Devotions, Spiritual Growth and Devotional Life

I remember once in my place of work that, as Ramadan came around, my work colleagues were conscientious to a fault to demonstrate both their care for Muslim colleagues who were fasting and to note how impressed they were at the practice. That same year, those same...

The Postmodern Opportunity for the Church; If We are Brave Enough to Take It!

The Postmodern Opportunity for the Church; If We are Brave Enough to Take It!

by Bob Soco | Feb 21, 2022 | Church and Cultural Engagement, Church Life and Engagement

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdMUIzfzzBo&list=PLNqhXer1OYprv1CxvXl9rNF-Chxz3wBny&index=103 Let us begin by defining the term postmodernity. Clearly, as the word suggests, it is 'after modernity' and so its definition is a contrast to what came before. So,...

What is the True Measure of a Man? The Point of Life; a Christian Perspective

What is the True Measure of a Man? The Point of Life; a Christian Perspective

by Bob Soco | Jan 31, 2022 | Christian Living and Discipleship, Christianity

Recently, I was invited to a five-star hotel to meet with someone who wanted to talk about more than the latest football results. He was more interested in the stock markets; hence the five-star hotel reception. I entered into what could only be described as your...

The Loss of Christian Youth – What We Can Do About It (Part of the Picture)

The Loss of Christian Youth – What We Can Do About It (Part of the Picture)

by Bob Soco | Dec 10, 2021 | Christianity and Social Issues, Christianity and Society

Why 88% of Christian Youth are Lost - Voddie Baucham - YouTube (please watch the video before you read the article) We Christians have a problem! Look at your fellowship this coming Sunday and ask where the young people are between 15 - 24 years of age. Where are...

The case for Hallowmass / ‘Halloween’

The case for Hallowmass / ‘Halloween’

by Bob Soco | Nov 5, 2021 | Christian Movements and Revival, Christianity and Society, Church and Cultural Engagement, Persecuted Church

So let us just clear up one annoying thing; right from the start - 'halloween' - just means Hallows Eve, think Christmas Eve - but the festival is called Hallowmas, not Christmas. So you would never say 'happy halloween' just like you would never say 'happy Christmas...

The Axioms of a Muscular Christianity

The Axioms of a Muscular Christianity

by Bob Soco | Sep 27, 2021 | Christian Movements and Revival, Christianity and Society

We've written on Muscular Christianity before, but it is worth revisiting the idea, and to press beyond the introductory blog that also appears on this website. I hope here in to explore the axioms of what I mean by a 'muscular Christianity' which is someone what a...

Upon the Idolatry of Bricks and Mortar

Upon the Idolatry of Bricks and Mortar

by Bob Soco | Sep 20, 2021 | Christianity and Social Issues, Christianity and Society

The Church has an idolatry problem. Well, it has many idolatry problems. I am neither talking about the celebrity pastor culture nor the issue of statues or art used as a means of veneration of what it represents. Nope! I am speaking of offering our souls and bodies...

Christians: Are we Disciples of Christ Jesus or of the Enlightenment?

Christians: Are we Disciples of Christ Jesus or of the Enlightenment?

by Bob Soco | Sep 1, 2021 | Christian Movements and Revival, Christianity and Society, Church and Cultural Engagement, Persecuted Church

Christianity, I mean the real thing; not the stuff of civic society, is not the enlightenment with a bit of religious ritual for frosting. This is, of course, exactly what liberal and progressive churches have turned Christianity into. Christianity is radically...

Changing the Timidity of Christians through the Cult of the Martyrs

Changing the Timidity of Christians through the Cult of the Martyrs

by Bob Soco | Jul 9, 2021 | Christian Movements and Revival, Christianity and Society, Church and Cultural Engagement, Persecuted Church

I have literally spoken to thousands of Christians and have noted something disturbing…timidity. It is the hallmark of many Christians, a desire to not engage in conflict, not get involved in controversy, or to risk too much for their faith. The causes of this are...
