Are Those Planters for Sprouting Ideas?

03/01/2025

Take time to build true friendships. Model the behavior you hope to see in others. Build up families and strong values. Defend the truth with kindness and authentic honesty. Encourage individual flourishing by offering assistance without creating dependency. Humbly admit your own faults, frailties, and biases. Depend on the finished work of the One Who's already perfectly done it. Walk in the way of this blessing. [...]

Why Does It Have to Be So Loud?

02/01/2025

Song choice and volume of music are important considerations. Making just the right choices can be a difficult task for local church leaders. The air temperature in the sanctuary is another common sticking point! There is such a thing as too hot, and too loud. Often the decibels are too much for older congregants. The Church shouldn’t divide along generational lines. So, it’s a mistake to appease the young at the expense of serving all. [...]

Is Practicing Yoga an Act of White Supremacy?

01/01/2025

The authors might be unhappy that yoga has been homogenized, but their foundational problem is with yoga practitioners who appropriate the non-spiritual elements of yoga while jettisoning the true core of historic yoga. Put more simply, these authors understand that when a person FULLY and completely adopts the practice of yoga, that person has adopted a religious practice. The authors are essentially saying, “How dare you?!!” [...]

The Grand Experiment

10/22/2024

The United States is sometimes called "The Grand Experiment" because it is recognized by most as the first country to be formed "by the people/for the people" and is therefore based upon democracy and liberty. The idea behind this phrase is usually rooted in a number quotes, such as: George Washington- "The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty is finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American People." [...]

Nothing New Under the Sun

10/21/2024

I am used to receiving feedback on the shows I host. Sometimes it comes before anyone has even listened to the show! Some have unfriended me because of my habit of posting the truth even when it is unpopular. Thinking biblically is the only correct way of thinking about things, especially for all real Christians. Receiving pushback is not a problem for me -never has been, never will be. But encouragement is always appreciated. [...]

20 Years of General Housekeeping

10/01/2024

Many professing Christians hold many views that don't square with biblical teaching. It's obvious that we have a biblical illiteracy problem in the United States. This problem impacts how we tackle societal ills around us, and hampers our ability to do so with wisdom. As Paul's example at Mars Hill illustrates, trying to get non-Bible readers to listen to biblical arguments is tough to do. So, maybe we can find ways to speak their language. [...]

Thoughts? What Say You?

04/17/2024

When a person dies his spirit is no longer in the body. This is what people mean by saying, “The person is not there, it’s just a shell,” when discussing a corpse. By saying this, are we failing to highlight the wholeness of what it means to be human? Humans are more than merely spirits. The debate tends to be over how to understand the immaterial aspect, not the material aspect. Maybe both aspects should be tackled with equal vigor. [...]

Try Reading This Over a Cup of Coffee

04/10/2024

Christians should hold other Christians to account. As for non-believers, Christians should call them to salvation with the message of mercy, grace, and forgiveness. There’s no need for a Christian to condemn lost sinners for their sin, as they already stand condemned by God's Word. Instead, the Christian should call lost sinners to reconciliation with their Creator and pray that they’ll repent to become disciples of Christ. [...]

Guns, Murder, Pagans, Clowns, and Stinkin’ Badges

04/02/2024

Among people in the "pro-life" community there are many embracing a "two-victim" view. Have you ever heard a “pro-life” leader call for women guilty of carrying their babies to abortion mills to be arrested and charged with murder or accessory to murder”? This is as a glaring inconsistency. With all other murders, someone is arrested, charged, tried and punished if found guilty. The “abolition” movement aims to clear this up. [...]
