The Effect of a Worldview
One of the things that struck me while reading For Men Only1 was that it takes a very different perspective on the married life dynamic than much of what can be found on the topic elsewhere. It’s no secret that I read a lot of Vox Day, and he subscribes to the whole evolutionary psychology [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s About the Heart – A Relationship With God
It’s often said that Christianity is different than any other religion because Christianity is not really a religion as much as it is a relationship. God created people to have a relationship with Him, and when we sinned, the relationship was broken. That didn’t stop God from wanting that relationship, it just meant that it [...]
How Hard Would It Be To Meet the President?
Have you ever wondered how hard it would be to meet a famous person? This past Sunday I was at a church where Dr. Woodrow Kroll of Back to the Bible was the special speaker, and I figured that it would be relatively easy to go up and shake his hand, and it got me [...]
It’s About the Heart – He Is Everything
If God is a part of your life, then you have to ask yourself, how much of my life is His? You see, He will not rest until He makes you into the image of His dear Son. He wants to be the Lord of your life. That means that there are two different people [...]
It’s About the Heart – Throughout the Bible
When you ask the question, “Do You Love Me?” you immediately realize that this is a question directed at the heart. What you may not realize is that it’s always been about the heart—from the beginning of time. You see, throughout the Bible, God has always been concerned about our heart attitude toward Him. Throughout [...]
10 Worst Bible Passages
If you were to pick the hardest Bible passages, what would you pick? A recent post by Ann Althouse suggested her Top 10 Worst Bible Passages. A lot of the problems that people have with these passages has to do with context and an understanding of the times. For example: 2. "Go, now, attack Amalek, [...]
