The Gospel is Offensive

Being offensive is the highest form of cultural sin. That’s bad news for us Christians because the gospel is offensive.

I want to make this clear, it is the Gospel that is supposed to be offensive, not us. The Bible clearly tells us of its offensiveness 1 Peter 2:8, Galatians 5:11, and Romans 9:33. But why?

The gospel informs people, amongst other things, the following…

  • You are a sinner by nature and choice.  (Romans 3:10-18)
  • You are under the wrath of an almighty God. (Romans 1:18 ; Romans 2:5)
  • You can’t fix yourself. (Ephesians 2:8-10)
  • Your best efforts to do good are more stinky than a pile of poo and filthy menstual rags.
  • You cannot know God via any other means or religions outside of Christ, everything else is damnable. (John 14:6)

Just Say No to GoDaddy

If you haven’t heard, the questionable web host known as GoDaddy is supporting SOPA. A terrible bill to pretty much ruin the internet. (Update 1: So they’ve withdrawn their support, a little too late in the game if you ask me.)

Add to this their terrible customer service, endless emails and up sales and a laundry list of other complaints, I’m pulling all 23 of my domains from GoDaddy before the start of the new year. I’ve decided after reading a few articles over on Lifehacker to switch to NameCheap.com, who is offering a discount right now using the code “SOPASucks” to get domain name transfers for $6.99.

Besides the fact that SOPA is a terrible bill in congress right now, GoDaddy’s service has been TERRIBLE for the last couple of years now. I’m personally tired of the endless up sales at check out, the poor customer support, and their prices aren’t even cheap anymore.

I’d also recommend you check out this guide from Lifehacker if you are interested in jumping ship. How to Jump Ship from GoDaddy

(Update 2: Gizmodo is reporting that GoDaddy is purposefully delaying the transfer of domains. I started transfers on the 23rd and they still haven’t moved to NameCheap yet.)

Why You MUST Quit Sometimes

El Capitan is 3,000-foot vertical rock wall in Yosemite National Park that thousands climbers from all around the world go to challenge every year.

If you decide to challenge this big wall you had better come prepared. El Capitan takes on average 4-6 days for the average climbing party to make it to the top all while hauling 100lbs of gear, food and water for each member.

To get up the sheer massive wall of El Capitan you have over 70 established routes to choose from all with varying levels of difficultly. With most greater than a 5-9 / 5-10. (Basically means expreinced climbers only.)

But you will encounter many challenges along the way. It’s very easy to get off route or be under prepared or for a storm to approach and ruin your ascent.

In life we need to always be aware of where we are on the path we’re heading. It’s like a route up a mountain. If we get off course, we need to be willing to stop and reevaluate. And sometimes we need to be willing to quit and go back down to try again another day. Continue Reading…
