Traitors for Christ
Punishing the Class I’m going to assume two things of everyone here. First, that during school you were (or are) perfect angels. Never the troublemakers. Always the innocent, well-behaved bystanders. Second, that you’ll relate to this experience… You are just there, doing what the teacher wants, as white as snow…but the other kids in class…
Hate If you are on social media and you see the acronym, TDS, what does it mean? Trump Derangement Syndrome. Now…don’t worry…this is not going to be a political sermon. However, Trump Derangement Syndrome came to mind after I recently read the story of Lazarus. However, before we review a portion of that… What is…
Can’t Win at… Do you ever feel that you just can’t win? That no matter what you do, someone is going to be unhappy? Michelle is familiar with a few of these stories, but I’ve felt that way quite a bit at work. Not with my boss specifically, but as an example…early this year one…
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…
Jeremiah’s Call Today I would like to jump right into Scripture. Is that okay with you? 🙂 Let’s turn to the first chapter of Jeremiah…starting with verse 4…and look how that young man was called: 4 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew…
Nativities and New Years As Michelle, the family, and I reflect on this past year…one thing we thank and praise God for is that…after more than a year and a lot of mokyearching, the Lord has brought us into a wonderful family here. I may not be able to remember all your names yet :-),…
“If you’ve got nothing to hide, then…” Isn’t that a popular refrain as authorities continue to incrementally invade our privacy? This is not a political blog; it is a religious one. However, government spying has real-world implications to believers around the world. In many places it is impossible to show your unapproved faith in public (or…
Ominous words: "While we all agree that religious freedom is important, no one’s religious beliefs make it acceptable to break the law by discriminating against prospective customers," ACLU staff attorney Amanda Goad said in a statement. "No one is asking Masterpiece’s owners to change his beliefs, but treating gay people differently because of who they…
Escaping Is anyone here that also has felt that a perfect life would be a log cabin in the middle of nowhere—a million miles away from the hustle-and-bustle of modern times? Totally unplugged and just communing with nature and God? Go ahead and throw in space in your cabin for your loved ones…that is, if…
Ray Charles Preaching back in Antrim, New Hampshire I was famous for quoting songs in my sermons…and sometimes having them be the actual inspiration for the talk. Or perhaps it might be more accurate to say I was infamous for it 🙂 In either case, don’t worry…I’m not going to start singing up here. I…
Dateline Afghanistan This week the Associated Press reported some positive news from Afghanistan about a Christian named Sayed Mussa: An Afghan man who was jailed for nine months for converting to Christianity has been released after an intense campaign by international diplomatic missions and Christian activists, an official said Friday.1 Sadly, just being released from…
The lead article in the most recent Voice of the Martyrs Newsletter is about the exploits of Rolo, a former member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC) who now spends his time leading residents of FARC-controlled areas (and FARC rebels themselves) to Christ. Needless to say, it is a very risky proposition. Not…
