When I was in graduate school, many moons ago, a friend and I would sit in the library and discuss different theological ideas (that’s right… we knew how to have a good time!). We gradually developed some unspoken ground rules: in order to further our discussions, each was allowed to voice unprocessed ideas, even to play “devil’s advocate” at times, as we explored new ground and re-explored known territory. That’s what I want to do here in the Kitchen of Half-Baked Thoughts. The ideas presented here do not necessarily reflect the views of the one presenting them. I won’t knowingly state things I don’t believe, but I will throw out possibilities and conjectures, hoping to draw firmer conclusions from the ensuing discussions.

Hi Tim. My name is Daniel Bonnell. I just read your review of the Mosaic Bible. I am one of the artists in the Bible. My paintings were used in five locations in the front devotional section.
After viewing your site I thought you might like to view my work. It
seeks audiences such as you and your readers. I especially think you
might find my Confessions tab most interesting as it is dark humor
not found in the Christian realm anywhere. The is found at
http://www.BonnellArt.com .
It would be good to dialog with you and share links as well.
Peace of the Lord.
Daniel Bonnell
Thanks for visiting the site Daniel. I’ll take a look at yours.
Grace and peace,
Tim Archer
Hi Tim.
I read your comments on a http://oneinjesus.info/2009/10/19/pacifism-the-early-church/ about.
I was curious if you know of any information on why Tertullian and Origen seemed to have shifting beliefs about pacifism?
Thanks!

Thanks Dana, but this really isn’t the venue for that. God bless.
Hi Tim
Are you related to Brian Archer. He is a dear friend of mine whom I have not had the pleasure of hearing from since his departure from Ohio.

Hi Kelly,
I’ve got lots of Archer cousins around, but not familiar with a Brian. Could be related, but not that I know of.
just wanted to leave a ‘thank you’, God bless
Tim,
I cam across your site while searching for articles on the use of social media for missions. You had a brief post on this topic on Aug 2, 2011. I work with a missions agency that works with Muslims. I also help facilitate the Mobile Ministry Forum (www.mobileministryforum.org). This weekend (just 4 days from now), I will be leading a discussion on the use of social media for missions. I am looking for good resources, case studies, stories, etc. that might help get more people equipped & involved. If there is anything you can share, I’d love to hear from.
Yours in Christ,
Brian James
Just to let you know that your site needs some formatting / aligning. Thanks.
Hello. I have been researching the Archer surname since becoming chronically ill a year ago. I have been scanning these pages for information on your family’s history. If it’s just to much trouble, may I ask the first names of your parents?
Tim,
My name is Chris Cox. I am the deacon over Adult Education at the West Main church of Christ in Tupelo, MS. I would like to ask you some questions through email. Could you send me your email address or email me? My email address is cacox@iccms.edu. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Dear Tim: Really like what I see on your blog- very insightful. I have posted it on our Facebook page (Bilingual Church Group) so our new group can learn about your ministry. Thanks.
