Traitors for Christ
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…
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….
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,…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
