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 [...]
Pregnant And Beautiful
There’s something special about a pregnant woman. It’s more than the glow, it’s the amazing feeling that there’s a new life growing inside. When taken in this perspective, there’s a tiny miracle inside, and it’s something beautiful on the inside and the outside.
Grace, Seasoned With Salt
We need to make sure that our speech is that which will build up. That’s exceedingly difficult in our current culture. What we say we believe is no longer a personal belief about a action, but it’s a statement that directly applies to people, and people take personally. I am against same-sex marriage. I’m against [...]
Don’t Seek The Spotlight
One doesn’t participate in the Miss USA pageant because they’re timid, modest and reserved. They may get in it for the college money, for the recognition of their beauty, or because they have a competitive spirit. The problem with seeking fame is that always comes with a cost. In Galatians, the Bible talks about how [...]
Taking a Stand is Costly
It was not easy to be a Christian after Christ left the Earth. A quick read through Fox’s Book of Martyrs reveals that many of those in the early church met cruel fates. They were beheaded, crucified, used as human torches and fed to lions for sport. These people took a stand for Christ over [...]
Delayed Reaction
When confronted, there are two things to remember: Defensiveness will only get you so far. Defensiveness sets you up for an attack Carrie Prejean’s reaction to the revelation that she had cosmetic surgery done was to get defensive. She sated that she did not believe that it was against the Bible to have cosmetic surgery [...]
Beauty Is Only Skin Deep
You don’t get to the point where you’re almost Miss USA by being ugly. It’s not based on your character or how fun you are to be with that you find yourself named Miss California. There’s only one reason that these types of competition feature swimsuits, formal wear and offer money for cosmetic surgery and [...]
It’s Good To Take a Stand For Marriage
The reason that Carrie Prejean is in the news is not only for the fact that she is good looking and was Miss California—it’s that she was almost Miss USA (or at least that’s what many said) but for an answer she gave to Perez Hilton about same-sex marriage. In her interview portion, Hilton asked [...]
Save It For When You’re Married
In the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the two young children that live with their widower father are all excited because they feel that if their father kisses the lovely leading lady then “they’ll have to get married.” Today, the leading lady and man move in together while he’s recovering from a divorce. Our society [...]
Confession Is Not Enough
It’s a given part of human nature. Each and every one of us have sinned. We’ve all “fallen short” to use the concept that Paul uses in the book of Romans. However, the fact that we all sin is not an excuse for sinning. The grace that God gives us to triumph over any sin [...]
Anything You Record May Come Back to Haunt You
Carrie Prejean wasn’t the first person to make a recording she thought would remain private, only to find out that it did not. Many people every day are making recordings, taking photographs and writing statements that they believe will only be read, seen and heard by the intended recipients. Yet, the Internet has proven just [...]
10 Lessons from Carrie Prejean
It occurred to me this morning, as I was preparing for the day, that the situation that Carrie Prejean finds herself in offers us many lessons as to how people, especially Christians, have to live circumspectly in this present age. Specifically, there are 10 things that I believe that you and I should consider and [...]
Carrie Prejean Teaches Us Another Lesson
The sad part is, it’s no longer shocking. First it was racy photos, and now a “sex tape” that has appeared showing former Miss California, Carrie Prejean, in an erotic display that she says was for a boyfriend at the time, she was alone, and she is a teenager in the video.1 The tape surfaced [...]
What Do Looks Have to Do With Anything?
It all started with Hillary. We had the discussions about someone that was running for high office could show cleavage, whether they should wear pants-suits, and even some discussion about what a ladylike sitting position is—and this was all before Gov. Sarah Palin even walked onstage. Indeed, it was obvious to anyone paying attention that [...]
Are You Happy With Your Looks?
It’s amazing what you can see on television nowadays. Shows like The Swan and Extreme Makeover try to convince you that major surgery can make you look better, younger, healthier, etc. Though they are not as popular as they were at one point, they exposed the ever increasing trend of people wanting to use surgery [...]
