Blessed Assurance
There are many hurt people out there. The unfortunate thing is that some have been hurt by people that name the name of Christ, and this has the effect of turning people away not only from the people that have hurt them, but from God Himself and His Church. Many of these people struggle to [...]
Unwed Pregnancies are a Product of Western Culture
In a recent article on sex education at The Week, the question was posed, “Should sex educators teach kids about pleasure?” The responses were mixed, and the comments were along the same line—they’re going to do it anyway. This has been the common refrain with discussions of birth control, abortion and unwed moms, but rather [...]
Is The United States a Christian Nation?
In a recent post explaining my acceptance of some libertarian ideas, I made the passing reference to the fact that America is, and has been a Christian Nation. However, this fact is not accepted by everyone, especially atheists. Their arguments are typified by the first comment I received on this post: While some of the [...]
Equality and the Bible
I once read that one of the interesting things about C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia was the whole concept of multiple kings and queens of Narnia and one High King. The reason that this is interesting is that we usually don’t think of anything but a King being the absolute ruler, but in Lewis’ books [...]
Why I’ve Recently Come to Embrace Libertarian Ideas
I’ve always considered myself a Conservative. In fact, I’m registered as a Conservative and find myself voting for Conservative candidates. This identification has to do with bot social conservative values as well as fiscal. The problem that I have in watching where the country is going is that I’ve observed a trend that proves that [...]
Perry: Eliminate Funding to Planned Parenthood
In a recent speech to the residents of Bettendorf, Iowa, Governor Perry not only took on the amount of money that elected representatives make and their seemingly permanent positions in Washington, but he also announced that part of his plan was to remove federal funding for Planned Parenthood so that our tax dollars will not [...]
When Did Jesus Play for Denver?
It wasn’t his desire, and it wasn’t his doing. And yet, it happened all the same. Tim Tebow, the outspoken Christian quarterback who was drafted in the first round and many believe should be a tight end, fullback or safety, is causing a stir with his faith. It seems that a handful of Denver fans [...]
Was Cinderella Pregnant for 28 Years?
I don’t know if you’re following ABC’s latest hit show, Once Upon a Time, but the plot revolves around the wicked queen of the story of Snow White casting an evil spell over all the fairy tales taking away their “happily ever after.” They’re only hope is the daughter of Prince Charming (AKA James) and [...]
Who Should Get the Republican Nomination
This past April I turned 35. I’ve always joked that when I become 35, then I’ll be able to run for President. After all, when you’re in your early 30s, there aren’t many “milestone” birthdays left. With that theme, my dining room was covered in Red, White and Blue and even my cake told me [...]
Why Men Hate Going To Church
As the one in charge of helping plan our church’s outreach and discipleship program, I have been very interested in anything related to why people attend church—or better yet, why they do not. That’s part of the reason that I read Ten Stupid Things that Keep Churches From Growing, and it’s also the reason why [...]
Living In Love
This summer, my wife and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary. It seems hard to believe that it was ten years ago that we were standing in her home church exchanging vows and that the time would fly by this fast! Ten years and four kids later (fifth on the way!), it seemed like a [...]
