Posted by chris in News, chris ritter on 13. Apr, 2010 | No Comments
by- Chris Ritter Donald Miller‘s book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years is an excellent book. A while back I started doing a review of each of the five sections the book is split into, but apparently I got bored with it because I only did three of the five parts… not much of [...]

This is a test run for a community blogging effort based on Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” devotionals. Charles Spurgeon was a pastor for many years in England and was referred to as the “Prince of Preachers”. He wrote many books, started a college to train pastors, and preached to what many consider the first [...]

Chris writes pretty often on his blog (www.theritterlife.blogspot.com) and this is the page to see a list of many of his writings from that blog. Rather than put them on two different websites, we thought we’d consistently provide links to the entries and their titles. Feel free to comment on this page or on Chris’ [...]
“What If He Isn’t Alive? What If He IS?”
Posted by chris in News, chris ritter on 06. Apr, 2010 | 1 Comment
If Jesus isn’t alive… we have no reason to celebrate like we do as Christians. we are all fools for believing the biggest hoax in human history. how can you explain the instant life transformation of the disciples, most of whom died gruesome deaths because they wouldn’t stop saying he was alive? there is no [...]
Thoughts on “Angels and Demons”
Posted by chris in chris ritter on 23. Mar, 2010 | No Comments
Noelle and I just watched the movie “Angels and Demons” starring Tom Hanks. It’s sort of a sequel to “The Da Vinci Code” – which, for the record, I enjoyed as an entertaining movie with a fairly interesting story line and nothing else. While many people have criticized both of these movies for many reasons [...]
Wages of Sin vs. Free Gift of God

I used to work at Scandia Family Fun Center off of Madison Blvd. Yes, the pretty ghetto place right off of I-80. I worked in the snack bar and it was not a great job. Sure it had some perks for a 16 year old like everything being free for me and my friends, but [...]
Don’t Forget the Old Testament
Posted by chris in chris ritter on 09. Mar, 2010 | 1 Comment
As I’ve been going through seminary I am constantly learning just how important the Old Testament is to the New Testament. It seems to me that the Bible should just be called “part 1″ and “part 2″ instead of “Old” and “New” because the way it sounds right now it’s as if the “Old” is [...]
Some thoughts on my heart

I said something to one of my college students yesterday that has actually seemed to be more for me than it was for her. We were sort of updating the other people in our group as to where we felt we were in our relationship with God lately – how we were doing, where we [...]
State of the Union, State of the Throne

Last night President Obama stood in front of congress and in front of the world and gave the state of the union address. I was only able to listen to about half of it because we had to get to youth group at the Decker’s home, but my point in writing is not to sum [...]
Pebble Beach

I played Pebble Beach today. It was most likely the only time I will get the chance to do so. About a month ago my father in law informed me that a close friend of his had won 2 free rounds. This guy works for the Pebble Beach company and had said for over 2 [...]
