i’m going to have to start working with these scripts

Last updated on: June 23, 2022 at 2:54 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

I’m going to have to start working with these scripts I seldom if ever try to explain psychosocial theory in tandem with the Christian walk. Scripts can be applied all types of ways, including double entendre which I’m not very good at. At time, I’ve got jokes. Of course we can flip the script, in various ways as well. A pastor seemed to look right through me once and ask “Are you a writer?… Are you really a writer?…” The... Read more

a quick historical note on Juneteenth

Last updated on: June 24, 2022 at 9:40 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

St. Moses the Black of Ethiopia With all due respect Happy Juneteenth! Morning readings include Psalm 137 Please remember the people of God really can relate to the plight, and so can many Christian faith groups from the beginning of the church until now (globally) who fell under persecution. Why do you think many of the church fathers who were driven into hiding deep in Africa were called desert fathers? There are various reasons, but scholars believe there is an... Read more

only possible to humble faith, Micah 6.8 | ethics, pt. 3

Last updated on: June 18, 2022 at 10:21 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

“Now, that it is our business to live virtuously, and that God asks this of us, as not being dependent on Him nor on any other, nor, as some think, upon fate, but as being our own doing, the prophet Micah will prove when he says:”[1] He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with...

click bait vs. developing the why

Last updated on: June 8, 2022 at 3:03 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

We live in a period when people spend more time trying to influence people they don’t know, neglecting the people who are next to them craving their attention. Sope Agbelushi A Christian involved in a social services field posted this today. I don’t know the author, but I know the Christian who posted it, and that’s part of the point isn’t it? I’m not sure how to proceed because I’m in an ethics series, but I still like to post... Read more

Clement & Augustine on Psalm xix, ethics pt. 2

Last updated on: June 5, 2022 at 10:55 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

In the previous related piece, I tracked a groundswell of ethics. First, mores (pronounced like Moray eels) are something like innate ideals, possibly undercurrents of virtue. It is possible humans have mores simply because we’re made in God’s image, Christian, non-Christian, or becoming Christian. Second, values develop for individuals and groups as mores are articulated and agreed upon. Third, ethics are often codes, like a code of ethics or eventually formal law. Ethics is also the discipline, the field of... Read more

Mental Health, movies & the prophets

Last updated on: May 31, 2022 at 8:31 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

May is mental health awareness month, although there are neverending items on the calendar. It’s Memorial Day weekend, so it’s also time to remember. Yesterday was also national hamburger day. We love to celebrate. As stated many times before, I’m licensed with the state of Michigan to offer marriage, couple, group, and individual counseling because my experience and education is recognized by the state.

considering church & college ethics in this time

Last updated on: May 29, 2022 at 1:56 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

There are plenty of church and college issues to consider now in this time. The following is a review of governing documents. I am in the process of discerning, perhaps not in a traditional sense of finding a new ministerial path. However, I am searching for a vocational direction. I would love to remain under some sort of Christian umbrella if at all possible. There have been multiple times in my career when I have been able to do so,... Read more

ethics, group norms, & tattoos

Last updated on: May 26, 2022 at 5:34 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Toward the end, I will explore what I personally consider to be a lesser way of engaging in ethics, although it is my opinion. There are group norms, a way of ethical decision making (more like sociology) that is a little more messy, perhaps digressing into groupthink. “The definition of religion is elusive to both scholars and lawmakers. But to the common man, religion ought to have a primary concern with moral conduct, with setting norms for behavior. If this... Read more

leaders in the time of Christ | 3rd space, pt. 3

Last updated on: May 20, 2022 at 11:42 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Who are the leaders at the time of Christ? Is there a group who are considered part of a 3rd space at the time, if we think in something like concentric circles? All three circles expand from an inner group sometimes called the Temple Cult. Priests, Levites, Synagogue Leaders/Priests, etc. Recognized leaders Pharisees, Scribes, Lawyers, etc. To use the term Temple Cult may seem offensive Cult in no way implies occult in historical Theology. This is a way of narrowing... Read more

I’ve heard it too many times | 3rd space, pt. 2

Last updated on: May 18, 2022 at 12:06 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

I’ve heard it too many times, especially in the church world. “It should just take a couple of years.” I’ve seen very similar plans recently. In the previous article, I shared the idea of a 3rd space, referring to 1) regular places for teaching (i.e. Temple, Synagogue, etc.), 2) homes of a prominent leader, and then 3) the suggestion that outside is a 3rd space, at least as Mark recounts the emergence of the ministries of John the Baptist and...
