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

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. [...]

Having Kingdom Focused Dialogues Online?

12/31/2023

Changing the word used for a given reality doesn’t change the reality. Should we call ourselves “followers of the Way”, “believers in Jesus”, “the chosen”, or “disciples of our Savior”, it won’t matter. If we make our message about Him, then we commiserate with the lost, as we share the gospel that God’s rescues sinners from condemnation so that we can joyfully work to do the work of His kingdom. In Christ the yoke of guilt is lifted. [...]

Proof That Fools Can Have a High IQ

12/18/2023

Non-biblical individuals advocate for what they say is right/true without contemplating the ground for their convictions. Often this is due to thinking they don't have to contemplate such things because they feel their position is rooted in neutrality. But neutral ground is a myth. All convictions are grounded in something. Whatever that "something" might be, not all of your neighbors will agree - so it's not neutral. [...]

5 Wonderful Ways to Spread Holiday Cheer

11/18/2022

The safest place on the planet for any human should be inside the womb. We know this isn’t the case, as evidenced every month by the estimated 4-million children killed before their gestation period has reached its natural end. Yes, four-million worldwide. That’s an average of 5,500 per hour, every hour. Or 90 per minute, every minute. This is more than one abortion per second. Every second of every day. Day after day after day. [...]

Simple Ways to Strengthen Your Christian Faith

10/27/2022

Christians are called to be stewards of all that God's given us. This includes the environment. Does the Paris Accord accomplish this? At least one professing Christian, David Rank, believes that it does. There are other professing Christians who disagree. It'd seem that Christians can agree to disagree over the answer to this question. The importance of stewardship is not up for debate. The importance of the Paris agreement is. [...]
