Acting Like Romans

Posted on October 7, 2016October 7, 2016 by Alan

I ran into a really interesting article tonight thanks to Instapundit about “How Roman Central Planners Destroyed Their Economy.” Although not all enacted by today’s progressives in the United States (yet)…it does seem like Romans created a progressive’s playbook. (Just read the article…think Venezuala…you’ll understand.) Strangling, escalating, damaging control of people and markets. What got…

Failure to Communicate

Posted on July 23, 2016August 16, 2016 by Alan

Weeks ago I heard Guns N’ Roses’ “Civil War” again, which starts off with this famous quote from Cool Hand Luke: What we’ve got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can’t reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it….

Rainbow in Honolulu

Rainbows and Skittles

Posted on June 22, 2016 by Alan

Work has brought me to Honolulu multiple times this year, and I type this in a Hawaii Prince Hotel room. You feel horrible for me, don’t you? 🙂 One thing I love about Hawaii is how often I see rainbows (thanks to sporadic rain showers). The photo in the top left of this article is from this morning,…

“The Great Question” About Our Faith

Posted on June 15, 2016June 15, 2016 by Alan

Andrew Klavan begins his “The Great Question” with… Islamism is the great evil of our age, and the great question of our age is whether this foulness is the natural child of Islam itself or a cancer on its body. Given the continual, regular atrocities done in the name of Islam (but that we are…

Orlando (Jesus Wept)

Posted on June 14, 2016June 14, 2016 by Alan

Jesus wept. The shortest verse in the Bible (John 11:35) seems especially apropos given the carnage in Orlando. Those two words remind us that the sinless Son of God deeply cares about the pain we feel. In context, Christ knew He was about to raise Lazarus from the dead, yet… When Jesus saw her weeping,…

Disbelief Versus Unbelief

Posted on June 13, 2016June 14, 2016 by Alan

Yesterday I ran into a link to an article I think every Christian, especially budding theologians, should read: “Learning skepticism, an essential skill for citizenship in 21st century America” Contrary to what some might argue, doctrine is important. For instance, Jesus is the Son of God; if you do not believe that, you are not…

“Be Nice”

Posted on June 4, 2016 by Alan

Augie and I were out getting mom birthday cards and gifts…and at the Hallmark Store I couldn’t help but purchase what is pictured here. Now, Michelle liked it so much that instead of it ending up in my office, it’s in her hutch. 🙂 But, how biblically correct is it? Well, I suppose it all…

LGBT and the Church

Posted on June 4, 2016June 4, 2016 by Alan

A friend of mine on Facebook linked to this article: “Homosexuality: We Need A Posture Shift” You should read the whole thing to ensure you aren’t basing your opinion on my post, but it starts off with: Jesus’ radical love toward the marginalized and outcast is shocking. Not just that he loved, but how he…

“Nonsense Remains Nonsense Even When We Talk it About God”

Posted on May 23, 2016 by Alan

I started C.S. Lewis’ The Problem of Pain today on a flight to Honolulu. Now, before you get envious, it is for work. However, I sill stipulate that there are far worse places and things to do for work. 🙂 In either case, it is yet another thought-provoking work by him, and I am sure…

I Am Ordinary

Posted on May 11, 2016May 14, 2016 by Alan

Ordinary. I’ll never walk with God like Enoch. I’ll never be as righteous as Noah. I’ll never match the meekness of Moses. I’ll never show the fearlessness of Daniel. I’ll never develop a heart like David. I’ll never attain the wisdom of Solomon. I’ll never have a voice in the widnerness like John. I’ll never…

When Your Death Shows God’s Favor

Posted on April 30, 2016 by Alan

I’m reading through the Bible again this year and a couple weeks ago I ran into an interesting section. My instinct is to consider God having a person die early is a bad sign…e.g. Ananias and Sapphira (see Acts 5). Basically, early death by God’s decree = bad. To quickly catch you up for a clear…

Arguments from Silence

Posted on April 3, 2016April 3, 2016 by Alan

A couple days ago a friend of mine tweeted this: I know there are many faithful men who have “multi-campus” video churches,I just don’t see Scripture that allows for pastor who’s not there. My response was: But it also doesn’t directly speak against it. I think, however, it goes against the scriptural motif. Personally, I…

Polls Won’t Matter When You Stand Before God

Posted on March 26, 2016March 26, 2016 by Alan

I suppose you could consider its title trolling, but I clicked through on “Science Is a Good Substitute for God.” The article’s final line (other than a disclosure from the author that he’s been an atheist since his teens) is: It turns out that people who rely upon the efficacy of the human intellect to solve…

Defining Sin So You Cannot Commit It

Posted on March 20, 2016March 20, 2016 by Alan

This post is a collection of musings based on how the world seems to be interacting right now, especially on social media. Hopefully it won’t seem too disjointed. 🙂 #1 — If you are a Christian, everything else is secondary to our Lord and His commands. That statement is the most important thing you’ll read in…

An Exclamation Point Society (and Church)

Posted on March 5, 2016 by Alan

As I was driving Augie to our monthly-ish haircut and our weekly Saturday morning breakfast together and reflecting on a Twitter friend saying a popular pastor committed blasphemy… It hit me that, at least on social media (and it seems elsewhere), we are an “exclamation point society.” Nobody just misspeaks, they LIE!!! Nobody just interprets…
