Welcome

Greetings! My hope is that Sharp Iron can be a friendly enough place that you would feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and opinions on a variety of topics. Although I am very interested in spirituality and how that affects every aspect of our lives, I hope we will not feel bound to any one particular area. At no time would I expect to create a consensus of opinion, in fact that idea may even be at odds with this site’s intent. As we listen with open minds to differing points of view then hopefully we can learn from them, honing our minds as we cut away that which binds our hearts. At times, sparks may fly.

Life is nothing if it is not worth living and we live our best when we enjoy good company during good (as well as not so good) times. Salute’.

-Christian Beyer


“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”

Proverbs 27:17

…or as Eugene Peterson puts it in ‘The Message’:

“You use steel to sharpen steel, and one friend sharpens another.”

    I am comforted that you chose to pay respect to the family. All to often our discomfort outweight the loving response we want to make.

    There continues to be the debate about what Jesus looked like. I’ve always thought that is the one area Christians are unwilling to explore. It would shatter much of the church’s tradition and put many religious publishers out of business.
