For nearly a decade, my family (well, mostly my wife and I) have struggled with an issue over our family structure. When we dated, and were first married, we both worked; she as a lawyer, and me as an intern…
Discernment’s Lack of Discernment
It’s a new season, spring is coming to an end and summer is being ushered in. With that, yet another discernment ministry controversy that shouldn’t be. It’s not my purpose here to discuss the scandal-of-the-month. Rather I wish to address…
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
This post is a bit long. If you wish to skip the story behind the question that instigated this post, feel free to move down to the tweet that is embedded below and begin there. Last night I went to…
Happy Reformation Day!
In honor of the 492nd anniversary of the Reformation, I give you the Reformation Polka, and all 95 of Luther’s Theses: Out of love and concern for the truth, and with the object of eliciting it, the following heads will…
Is it Really Hatred?
The Christian Worldview is often misunderstood, and often deliberately mischaracterized. The reality is that we begin with an understanding of the inherent evil that is within us all. Every man, woman and child ever born (excepting only Jesus Himself), has…
Followup: God’s Corrective Action
It’s been two weeks since the events of my previous post. In that time I have had the opportunity to discuss it more with others. I have found some people that whose opinions I greatly respect, and often influence my…
God’s Corrective Action
It’s been a few years since I’ve written about the amazing correlation between large-scale events that defy God and corresponding disaster. Back in September 2004, I wrote about Bill Koenig’s research into the U.S. Government putting pressure on Israel on…
How Much Do You Have To Hate Someone…?
I’ve heard that Penn Jillette has said this in the past, but it was refreshing to hear it from his own lips, on video. I certainly pray that one day, someone will share their faith with him, and the Holy…
Bad People Go to Heaven and Good People Go to Hell
Have you ever heard the question “why do bad things happen to good people?” Have you ever wondered the opposite? Why do good things happen to bad people? The problem is our point of view. Proverbs 20:6 says “Most men…
The Birth of the Reformation
In honor of the 491st anniversary of the Reformation, I give you all 95 of Luther’s Theses: Out of love and concern for the truth, and with the object of eliciting it, the following heads will be the subject of…
Disproving Gravity
I had a little fun playing around with Google Earth today (work is really slow). I remembered hearing from some Creationists (I think Answers in Genesis) that the elevation of the terrain at the entrance to the Grand Canyon (the…
Keeping Humility
Essential to one’s salvation is humilty. We cannot come to the point of repentence and faith that is necessary to salvation without first being broken and humbled before God. Probably the biggest challange once we are saved and we begin…
Saving People Money Isn’t Saving Their Souls
So the local Contemporary Christian Radio Station is running a gimmick encouraging people to go through the drive-thru on Friday and pay for the order of the person behind you in line. They even have a note pre-formatted that you…
“Revival”?
So there’s something going on in Florida? I haven’t heard much, just that something’s going on down there. I probably know slightly more than Dan Phillips knew when he wrote this, but not much. Though these things come and go…
