restless reformer

by Fred the Fundamentalist
So, I made a mistake.  And after two weeks of thinking it through, I’ve realized the error of my ways.  I had completely forgotten that God used the word “Easter” in Acts 12:4 when I criticized the use of “Easter” as a name for the day the Lord was resurrected.
Now, one of […]

I can’t hold it back anymore.  I’ve got to point out an area of compromise that many Christians are involved in.  We just celebrated the resurrection, and everyone keeps calling it “Easter.”  Don’t you all know that the word “Easter” comes from the pagan goddess Eostre?  You should call it Resurrection Day.  […]

I recently looked at a Eugene Peterson book. You know what it said at the top? “From the author of The Message.”
Did you catch that, folks? The Message is a supposed version of the Bible, isn’t it? Is Eugene Peterson claiming to be the author of the […]

I’ve been really convicted lately that I’ve not been fundamentalist enough. I need to get fundamentaler. I know I just need to be more sold out. The Christian life has to be extreme, right?
I met this dude the other day; his name was “Ed,” and he was an “evangelical.” He […]

Fred was unable to post last Friday, because he spent the entire day trying to track down his new favorite preacher.

The official memo from heaven has finally come down, folks; James Dobson has endorsed Mike Huckabee. I don’t know what took him so long to endorse the guy who is clearly God’s candidate, but better late than never, I suppose.
Clearly the hand of God has moved and eliminated that cult-leader Mitt Romney. Besides, […]

Behold the wiles of the devil! I’m hearing Travis behind the scenes muttering to himself, “It’s Christus Victor…it’s Christus Victor…all the atonement theories fit nicely under Christus Victor.”
Can he not see what he’s allowing himself to believe? He has to change the name of our Savior in order to get it to fit […]

The apostates over at the Boar’s Head Tavern are going on and on about how the Bible isn’t inerrant. They’ve done this before, and someone has to show how super apostate it really is. Paul had to deal with “super-apostles”? I have to deal with Super Apostates. And I shall do […]

I’ve taken a couple week break from writing, obviously, and I know you’ve missed me.  Even though Friday is my designated day, sometimes I just get a feeling from the Lord that I’m not supposed to write anything, so sometimes I just don’t.
Today, I came across this comment at Mike Frizzell’s blog:
It all gets back […]

Fred is terribly busy with his plans for celebrating Christmas (though he’d be quite mad that I’m calling it “Christmas”), so instead of his regular weekly editorial, I’m running a repeat - the story of how his church decided to change the name of Christmas to “Christworshipservic.”
Fred is alright with me retelling this story, as […]

So you’ve probably all been wondering who God wants to be president of the United States. Isn’t it obvious? Mike Huckabee. I can’t even believe there’s a discussion on this. Discussion should just be entirely prohibited.
Look, folks - God’s been very, very clear on who he wants as president for a […]

The other day when I was at work, I was having lunch, and of course I wasn’t talking to anybody because I always sit and read my Bible at lunch in the break room so people will see me doing that and get saved, when I noticed that a professed Christian was eating yogurt.
“Tell me […]

I know Travis is getting all geared up to observe Advent here at this blog.  I’m officially registering my protest, because clearly, Advent isn’t celebrated in the Bible, and it was made up later by Catholics who were influenced by something evil, no doubt.  Advent is just legalism anyway.  It’s a ritual for people who […]

I’ve written a lot about Fred here. His ups and downs since his dramatic conversion to fundamentalism have been chronicled, including his Halloween experiences, and his first Christworshipservic. But Fred would like to speak (blog) for himself. As he wrestles with his faith, he feels (and feeling is everything) that he needs […]

“Each year,” Pastor Funk said from the pulpit, “We’ve tried to listen to the Lord’s voice on what to do with the evil day that approaches. You know the day I’m talking about!” he began to thunder. “That day when parents dress their kids up like the forces of darkness! That day […]
