                                What is Victories and Vumblings


                                All of us have our victories for Christ and our fumblings (oops, vumblings).  The purpose of this site is to provide a quantity of online teaching and downloads so we can be victorious as much as possibly with minimal vumblings.


                                We want to have a website as a repository so Christians could come here and choose from a variety of learning methods, including short essays, audios, videos, PowerPoint, and pdf downloads.There is no charge for anything.  You may download and use as you please.  There is no need to provide citation for your source as far as we are concerned.  If you do use any of the material for anything that makes money, then please give proper citation for that.


                                This site is in initial construction and is added to nearly every day.  There will be links that will not work yet; those have been included so that you can see what is being worked on.  Please be patient as the site is being built. 
                                 

                                 



                                What Is in the Works?

                                (To be released soon)

                                A leading difficulty in believing that God exists, a God who is loving, is the problem of suffering.  A general article on this topic was released on Jul 13, but this article will be broader in scope and more detailed in explanation.


                                What's New?


                                Jan 12  There is no Lisu font that can be typed directly from the PC keyboard.  The only means available was torturous.  So, I created my own font and installed it.  Read the post and watch a short video.  [Click here]

                                Dec 27  Watch a short demo on the way that I am creating a "talking dictionary" to help me in my Lisu.  [Click here]

                                Dec 25  What about all the believers who are forsaking the church.  It is a phenomenon noted by many polling organizations.  Can a true believer forsake the church?  [Click here]

                                Dec 24  Blog post with a short video of Lucy, Jesse's daughter, giving me lessons in Lisu.  She was so kind to invite me to her house for about five hours of lessons.  [Click here]

                                Dec 24  Blog post on the difficulties I immediately encountered with the Lisu language.  [Click here]

                                Dec 24  Blog post describing a flurry  of emails between Jesse and myself via his daughter, Lucy.  I also discuss my main concern in going to Thailand.  [Click here]

                                Nov 28  Everyone has to make decisions.  The question I attempt to answer is, "Is there a difference  between the way that a Christian makes a decision versus a non-Christian?"  The answer to that is "Yes."  [Click here]

                                Nov 20  Skeptics will state that polytheism and monotheism is all the same.  The hundreds of mythological gods have been dumped.  Since they are all the same, why not dump one more?  Are there any problems with this argument?  [Click here or here]

                                Oct 7  Non-theists do not play fair when arguing against Christianity.  They confuse what proof is and demand from Christians what they would never demand of themselves.  [Click here or here (The Concrete and the Abstract)]

                                Jul 30  A common criticism of skeptics is that the gospel accounts cannot be reliable because they were written 40-60 years after the events took place.  It is well known from court accounts that eyewitness testimony is unreliable.  Is the criticism true?  What have the skeptics overlooked?  [Click here]

                                Jul 29  "The ways of God are mysterious."  Is that true?  When we hear this are we to cease questions and searching?  My article on "Mystery and Reason" attempts to discuss this.  [Click here]

                                Jul 14  Dan Barker, an evangelical minister for 19 years who has become a nationally known atheist, wrote a chapter in his book, Losing Faith in Faith, critiquing and disagreeing with C. S. Lewis' Mere Christianity.  Mr. Barker gave me permission to quote his chapter in full; after which I have an article with counter-arguments to Mr. Barker. [Click here]
