Not Only Isn’t It Fake News, Its the Good News!

I recently came upon a news item from several years ago, to which Ken Ham wrote: “The Pope reportedly said atheists are ‘good people’ — the Bible says there’s only one ‘good’ and that’s God (Luke 18:19). He was also quoted as saying evolution is real. But the Bible makes it clear evolution is incompatible [...]

Musings

We usually do hate the arguments that disprove ours. Money, fame, career success… in the end they always prove to be unsatisfying things. Things that money cannot buy: true joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and eternal life. Are you just praying that you don’t die? Ah, but “to live is Christ and to [...]

I’ll Show You a Place High on a Desert Plain

One might not expect Bernie Sanders to understand Christian teachings, since he does not profess to be a Christian. One might, on the other hand, expect Christopher Van Hollen to understand Christian teachings since he does profess to be a Christian. As the Senator from Maryland says, “There are lots of ways that people can [...]

Heretical Garbage I’ve Posted (For Research Purposes Only)

“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”- Isaiah 53:6 I have made quite a few bad decision in my life. I’m guessing you have, too. I am endeavoring to do better. Perhaps you are, too. A [...]

God’s Sovereignty, The Shack, and Three Edifying Reminders

Randy Alcorn retweeted a quote from Jerry Bridges: “If there’s a single event…that can occur outside of God’s sovereign control then we cannot trust Him.” This sparked someone to ask this question: “So, what does this mean in light of tyrants like Hitler? Also, how does human will play into this? It seems that, in [...]

Five Reminders How Little Has changed in Five Years

ONE: The book is just okay in quality. Not terrible, but certainly not great literature. It ended up being successful, I think, because the basic story makes an emotional connection… kind of like Nicolas Sparks books. As you might imagine, my biggest concern is that it paints a completely non-biblical description of God (which could [...]

Five Helpful & Instructive Musings from Social Media

Five Helpful & Instructive Musings from Social Media ONE: This three-and-a-half minute video is compelling for at least three reasons. 1. The kids are so darn cute. 2. It’s very well produced, so it looks cool. 3. It illustrates the the wonders of economic freedom from the perspective that biblical Christians should see things (because [...]

Even Tim Keller Can Be Wrong

Tim Keller wrote a widely distributed article titled “A Biblical Critique of Secular Justice and Critical Theory. Here’s a link: https://quarterly.gospelinlife.com/a-biblical-critique-of-secular-justice-and-critical-theory/. A fellow pastor messaged me about the article, recommending it in glowing terms. The initial reaction I shared with him included these thoughts: Tim Keller is brilliant and an exceptionally gifted wordsmith. His intellect [...]

Christ is Hated Because Sin is Loved

The title for this blog borrows a quote from Matthew Henry. “And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his [...]

Christ Has Died, Christ is Risen, Christ Will Come Again

God is good, His love endures forever! According to Pew research, less than 15% of Western Christians utilize the Bible as a moral compass. And perhaps it’s the way the questions were asked, but the answers provided to these Gallop pollsters are concerning. None of the responses indicate a motivation for going to church as [...]
