You may discover … that this is more than Just a website!

This is actually more like a Discipleship Study Guide and a Ministry Information site. Hope you will still go look around. So, why not a website? …Because, websites are often associated with “Trying to sell you something” and …we are NOT trying to sell you anything.. Not even Jesus? Nope, silly rabbit, you can’t sell Jesus! … and if we, (in a sick way) could? He would be way out of our price range and yours, because Salvation is something Priceless! OK dudes … Jesus is like… FREE. In other words, knowing Jesus … the only cost, is that you believe! Also, know this, that you have the “American Constitutional Freedom” in America anyway, to hold on to any Historical Cultural beliefs of faith, you also have the “American Constitutional Freedom” to follow any faith you choose for yourself, and also to share this faith, your observations of faith, to collect faith data through experiences, to form your own faith conclusions, and to express these conclusions, by mouth/or writings per your constitutional rights. So, just go explore this site and have some fun exploring. Note: There does exist here, hidden nooks and crannies to find within these pages. You will find all these things and more, from Youth Educational Game aids, Discipleship aids, Some Hard Questions, Critical Thinking, Missionary Educator Teaching games, Old and New Photos, Blog posts, Videos, even some (Magician) Magi Secrets, some of our Worship Music, Evangelism, Prayer/Faith Opportunities, and even a few Music videos … like on da-MTV. You may find all this, embedded with in these pages. So, why the Hard Questions? Because, we were once Youth and Children’s ministers. Meaning, that we consider, the “asking of hard questions” as being very healthy and normal, in all learning environments, and we think it promotes actual learning to occur. This is good for anyone starting to move into …thinking for themselves. Kids need to think for themselves because, “Many, just jabbering opinions- talk-n-more talk, but all are not really giving out the correct answers.” it’s Just a fact, that not all answers, are correct! You must “Critical Think” it through. Discipleship Teaching, comes natural to us. Got older kids/teens with spiritual questions? Send them here to go look around.

Our Personal Public Disclosure: Why? Because transparency is associated with Truth. We are Christians, that have become Missionary Educators/Evangelists. We know we have some bias believing what we do. With that said, If it’s found within these pages, there does exist any agenda other than creating a Safe place to explore Critical Think and a place to Simply Taste and see that God is good. Just know upfront that, our leanings are probably slanted towards more of a (Combined Scholastic view with a bit of selected parts of the Modernist) Schools-of-thought. We are not in anyway (Post-Modernist and we do not follow along with Secular Humanistic) Schools-of-thought. We find that most people are (in someway) a combination of at least three different schools-of-thought or more. Hope we can still be accepting of each others differing views! And at the very least engage in discourse. And If while reading, you find a page difficult in some way, we hope you just move off of “that page” and go to “another one”. Blessings, Mark and Karen Daughtry

• Just what is Scholastic ?… Think it can best be described as separations of the disciplines and also the belief that there exists in this world many (Disciplines and Schools-of-Thought), and some (Schools-of-thought) are good, others are not, some uplift morals, others do not, some contain truth, others do not, some think God gives us truth, others do not, But, you must be able to critical think in-order to recognize the good schools from bad. Some schools teach that man creates truth, not a good school that I would want to attend. An Example: Jesus had 12 students, His disciples, and He taught them amazing Truth. … Many others taught way differently and or against God… This is where the other (Schools-of-thought) come into the picture. A warning by (Irenaeus) presented some 2000 years ago, gave very strong insight and critical think guidance.
• Just what is a Modernist mind frame ?… I think it’s just a weaker forerunner as milder version of the Humanistic School-of-thought, which is not all bad. God created humans to be human, have free will, have doubts, have questions, use their own mind, Critical Think, use observations, draw conclusions, make decisions, do good for all humankind, and celebrate all humans self worth. Modernism, is Ok with allowing for, a human struggle with the tangible; and yet, still it is open to aspects of the necessary intangible thinking. Meaning all things just can’t be understood and that is ok. For example: Descartes (Father of the Scientific Method)…. Now, he was a known Christian and a Modernist, (although, in his own stated views, he was mostly a works leaning person, instead of an understanding of God’s grace person), I am thinking, (that grasping the deep, deep, depths …of Gods amazing grace is probably something that is (not easy), even for a brilliant mind to do) .
• ————————- Why is there a line drawn here? ———- Because, I myself, choose to continue the joy in keeping an open mind towards ones personal God experiences, and the intangible things, that we cannot always observe; therefore, I personally choose not to cross this line. Why? Because, I don’t want to replace Theology (Study of God) with any other ologies, Like Philosophy, Sociology (Comte), Phycology, or even Cultural Anthropology. See, the Post-Modernist have already filled peoples minds so that they will say’s “that God, is just a construct of the Human Psyche or the human brain”. And I simply choose, not to believe this silliness. Or follow along with the Philosophers, who continually replace morality with Relativism and/or … God’s truth with Relativism. They, only try to destroy “The Old Ways” to satisfy their own puffed ego. For example: take the issue of Relativity, now, I really like (Albert Einstein), and I like his amazing (Theory of Relativity) As amazing as this theory is, it was meant to find meaning in the discipline of Physics. And therefore: I am also choosing, to leave God, in the discipline of Theology. And not move God to the discipline of Psychology. I will not just declare, that God is a psychological construct: “a deity spawned out of mere human thought.” When my experience has shown me other-wise… this is just more man silliness thinking. …And there are bucket loads of man made sillinesses, falsehoods, and false deities bouncing around like ping pong balls. I truly believe, there is only … one true God. This is, my personal observation, my data, and my conclusion. And my personal expression is this…. that He was not dreamed up by some Man!—————–Just call me an Old School believer in the Faith.——————————————— And therefore, this is my Line! And this is the reason why it is here!…. Because, I made up my mind, I have chosen this, and I made this – a very personal line, … I drew that line, in the sand here. ———————————————— and Yes, I am very happy where I drew it for myself. …I highly encourage all to make up their own minds. Elijah said basically “I don’t care which (God/gods) you chose to follow, go and follow em, and let me know how things are working out for you! (1 Kings 18:21) Choose who is your God! I did!… Study Gods word! … make up your own mind. … and you .. do you .. and let’s see how that is working out for you!
• Just what is a Post-Modernist … They believe most everything created by a Western educational practice or culture, is bad, and must be destroyed, torn down, thrown away, and without research or question, they think, even History should be discarded, or worse, we should let an approved Revisionist Recreate everything from scratch. There is an implied, burn the books mentality about everything that disagrees with, or challenges their Group Think methodology which only promotes and shares a desire, for a Godless-Removal of the Old Ways, making way for creating a Morality Void Utopian State. FYI… I am an opponent to any idea of removing God from our society and/or culture.
• Just what is a Secular Humanist … They feel that in-order for humans to progress, they must surrender an archaic belief in a faith/God. (T.B. Wakeman) even wanted all Christians to be thrown in jail. Non-secular Humanists aren’t all bad, and granted, they usually are not always Secular-Humanists. Simply said, about the non-secular humanist, they have a very high view of Man. They believe, that there is actual good in humans to do good aside from God. I see possibilities of the human race doing good stuff here. I also believe that, like wise, a lot of evil is from Human conduct, not the Devil. And you should not say, “The Devil made me do it, nonsense!” Part of any humanist belief should be having the guts to take responsibility for your own actions before blaming God, Religion, or even other humans. Not all professing non-secular humanist are closed to God possibilities, they, (some of them) even openly wrestle with a belief in a God, and some may attain a slight belief in the possibility of faith in a deity/God. This is called Agnosticism. Where one, is simply open, to the possibilities of allowing for a faith to develop. Non-secular Humanist, tend to be more Agnostic, where Secular-Humanist tend to be more Atheistic. “In their personal views”. This is only my personal observation of the two. Most important: Remember this is America. And everyone is entitled to his/her own belief or personal views.
