December 28, 2020 by Tony Miano 3 Comments

Friendship Evangelism and Why I Oppose It These memes are not intended to be provocative for provocation's sake. With the help of my pastors, my church family, and others who love me, I have worked hard to not be "that guy" anymore. I confess I'm still working on … [Read more...]

Something to Think About: From Huffing Paint to Huffing Fear

December 17, 2020 by Tony Miano 1 Comment

Born during the Baby Boomer generation (1946-1964), I was raised with the warning to never put a plastic bag over my head because I could suffocate.

June 26, 2020 by Tony Miano 2 Comments

There is a particular piece of advice I have given many Christian officers over the years. The same advice, dealing with the church, can and should be applied to evangelists. Fighting the Hardening of the Heart "It seems like I'm angry all the time. I don't trust anyone. If you don't wear a badge, you're one of them. I assume a person is lying to me because their lips are … [Read more...]

The Death of George Floyd and the Death of Christian Civility

May 30, 2020 by Tony Miano 15 Comments

As I thought of the tragic and unnecessary death of George Floyd, it took my mind elsewhere--the apparent death of Christian civility in cyberspace.
