International Day for Conscientious Objectors

May 15, 2009 3 comments

Today is the International Day for Conscientious Objectors.

Let us give thanks for the witness of conscientious objectors to war and military participation. In my own life I am blessed and inspired by the witness of my wife, Marcia, who refused to cooperate with the standard process for gaining United States citizenship.

Because of her deep convictions, Marcia refused to say the US oath of allegiance in her citizenship ceremony and she became a conscientious objector to U.S. military service. She is a witness to the peace of Christ in the world.

Songwriting as prophetic voice

October 27, 2008 2 comments

Check out my Dad’s new series of posts on the prophetic voice of songwriting at rogerflyer.com

His own description of the series:

“In this series of blog posts I am postulating that songwriters serve as prophetic voices to tribes, governments, popular culture and to Christendom. Whether or not they are God’s prophets is where the conversation begins….”

So far he’s written four great posts, most of which are lyrics of his own songs:

1) Where have all the flowers gone?

2) Jesus was from Jersey

3) Blood and Land

4) Where you Greta Garbo?

My Poppa’s New Record

October 29, 2007 3 comments

My wonderful and talented father, Roger Flyer, has just completed a new record called “Songs Hidden In Eggs” that is being pressed right now. Within in this week it will be “hot off the press,” so I thought I’d let you in early. They will go fast! He is also playing a number concerts in the next few months at which he will be promoting the new album.

Owen and Sleepy Linguistics

October 26, 2006 2 comments

Please forgive me for not making any new posts for so long. Honestly Jon, your last comment was and still is compelling. All of a sudden (well actually it was nine months coming), things got crazy here. In a good way, indeed, but nonetheless, crazy. Between studying the linguistics of biblical Greek and Hebrew and long sleepless nights I have had my hands and mind full. I would like to continue posting on the blog, but perhaps we should switch subjects. Personally, I don’t feel like talking about biblical authority anymore. So, I’m going to try to move on to something else. I hope this does not disappoint anyone. Feel free to continue to discuss. Don’t stop on my account. I just need a change of pace. Don’t worry it doesn’t have to be related to linguistics!

In the meantime, check out
