OtherMinded.org

Welcome to my new web site! It’s good to be up for now on the internet. Hopefully the content I put up here over the next few months or so (if I can keep it going) will be a help to you in these strange times that we live in.

Why otherminded? Well, on the one hand we had a period of time where censorship and charges of “mis-information” were common here online. Content was stripped and people who dared to criticize the policies and norms of “respectable” society were cancelled. And, no, I don’t mean by Christians and / or conservative minded people, but by what we used to call the “thought police”, who were aggressive in removing content that disagreed with Covid, DEI measures, and other left – leaning mindsets. It would be like all of us could only get MSNBC or CNN for news with Fox News and National Review and other right – minded programs, audio / video, magazines and newspapers were banned. And the UK, EU, Brazil, Canada and other countries do in fact block access to conservative and anti – establishment content. If the domain had been available, I would have purchased the domain “Right Minded” instead of Other Minded. But, besides that, I also wanted to try and express a Christian viewpoint. In the Bible we are told to “set your affections on things above, and not on things on the earth” (Col. 3:2) and later in that passage to mortify and put away the things which offend God and to “put on the new man” (v 10). It sounds a bit ironic (hypocritical?) perhaps to comment on culture and society and such parts of this world, but there seems to be a need to tell the truth about the things that are going on, whether anyone wants to hear it or not. This is a great responsibility, and I am not sure that I am worthy to handle it, but, for now at least, I don’t really have an audience to speak of. If I am wrong about something I post, feel free to call me out on it, especially those of you who know me. But a time may come to stand up against wrong ideas and poisonous doctrines that seem to be so common today and in the future. And that is how I see my little corner, to hopefully not be “other minded” than the things which the Bible tells us are true and acceptable, and, yes, commanded (as Galatians 5, on legalism and Philippians 3 to follow Christ). And one other thing for me to work on: to be minded towards others, and not just myself and my getting opinions getting circulated. Lord willing, someone can see things in a better way than before upon consideration of what I write, and maybe be helped and blessed as a result.

Plans for this site: I am hoping to add several types of essays, for different categories(?) – some for the Bible and Theology, some on politics, some on social and cultural issues, and maybe even some articles about technology and maybe even have a spare page for myself and things I am doing in my life. As to when I plan to put up content, maybe check up once or twice each month. I am fairly busy and sometimes my health could be better but I’ll try to be more or less consistent with something every 2 – 3 weeks. Please feel free to come back. And, hopefully, I’ll be able to get an e-mail address to go with the site soon.

Thank you, in advance, for your comments and support.
