Quote – Unreliable Sources

RJ Walters

Don’t be misled by history or any other unreliable source. Will Rogers Will Rogers had lots of things to say about a variety of different subjects. This quote kinda goes along with the one History belongs to the victors Of course, that means that whoever comes out ahead in a conflict is almost always the one to record his story in the annals of history. Sometimes it takes centuries before that mistake is corrected. However, there is another side to this type of thing, and that is judging a person by today’s standards instead of the period in which he … Continue reading Quote – Unreliable Sources

Core 4 – Spotlight & InSearchOfAmerica

RJ Walters

During my 55 years of traveling across America, I have taken thousands of pictures, and have only managed to show you a small portion of them. I came up with a couple of ideas to partially alleviate that. But then again, maybe the primary reason for these new subjects is that I want to get my mind off all the insanity presently going on inside the Beltway. 🤬 Continue reading Core 4 – Spotlight & InSearchOfAmerica

RJ Walters

This post is about how TimeLine Chronicles, which is a new site I am now working on, is going to take a much broader view of history than anything I have covered at RJsCorner.

Being Prepared…

RJ Walters

Even though I was never a Boy Scout, I am a person who tries to be prepared for the challenges I will be facing. If I want to discuss a controversial topic I try to study both sides to see where my feelings might reside. “Think For Yourself” is one of my primary mantras in my life. I simply don’t let others tell me what to think. But then again, maybe that is one of the reasons I was never a Boy Scout (ha). Then I see the current Oval Office occupant who is totally unprepared for the many challenges he faces.  I know he never dreamed he would actually occupy that prime real estate, he was just having fun dissing people. Maybe that is an excuse for being … Continue reading Being Prepared…

A Giant Rummage Sale…

RJ Walters

Anyone who has visited this blog in the recent past know that I am pinning great hope on the “emergent” church being able to rescue the current Christian establishments from their focus on believing things about Jesus as opposed to of “being” a Christian through our actions. I was very disheartened when I discovered the statistic that almost no one can tell the difference between a Christian and anyone else in the population. People who call themselves Christians live their lives pretty much like everyone else. In fact they actually divorce more often than non-Christians! Something has to change to … Continue reading A Giant Rummage Sale…

A High Level View….

RJ Walters

In this post I will try to give you a very high level view of what I believe is the critical history of the church.  Of course, as this study progresses there might be some things I change likely my mind about.  As with most everything else I am open to different views and one of them may change my overall concepts (but I kind of doubt it ;) ) Before I get into the view I will be using I want to give you some idea of other ways church history has been viewed: Here is a very colorful … Continue reading A High Level View….

About Me and This Study…

RJ Walters

I want to state up front that I most likely don’t have a complete picture of church history and I’m sure some of my conclusions will go contrary to many of today’s theologians. Especially those with very narrow agendas. I also want to tell you that since there are now 39,000+ different versions of the church of Christ I believe that the church is severely fractured if not broken. But that does not mean that I have given up hope as I definitely see a possibility for great healing. I come into this study with a strong emphasis on the … Continue reading About Me and This Study…
