What is Mary’s Appropriate Place?

By ⋅ December 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

In reading different blogs over the Christmas Season, I’ve been struck by two different perspectives on the person of Mary, and wondered where you are in who she is. Dan Phillips states some good things about Mary, but leads off his What did Jesus (not) say about… His mother, Mary post this way: I’ve often [...]

Christian Colleges and Universities

By ⋅ August 8, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

“Where are you going to college?” This is one of the most difficult questions that face a senior in high school.  It’s no wonder that many start in their Junior year, visiting different colleges, trying to figure out their major and where they think the campus lifestyle will best suit them. I went to Bob [...]

Have You Had Enough?

By ⋅ January 6, 2009 ⋅ 7 comments

Another holiday season has come, and one thing is certain—we’ve all had a lot to eat.  I’m not sure where the tradition came from, but what I am certain is that this is not just the season for presents and good cheer, it’s also the season to make exotic dishes in the hopes that family [...]

Sexual Sin and the Church

By ⋅ December 21, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

She is sleeping with her boyfriend, left the church because they were going to discipline her, should they follow through with the public announcement? That is the situation a church in Florida found itself in this past week as a woman in the church first confessed to a woman in her Bible Study that she [...]

Bible Verse Arms Race

By ⋅ May 20, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

It doesn’t take long in discussions with Christians (or atheists for that matter) on blogs or forums to witness this strategy.  I like to call it the pile on, but an arms race seems to fit the bill as well. The definition of this tactic is to provide multiple Biblical texts, in rapid fire style, [...]

Christian Atheism

By ⋅ March 20, 2008 ⋅ 19 comments

One of the things that is truly fascinating about the atheist movement in America in 2008 is not that there are people that actually believe that the Universe was brought about from nothing, but that they attempt to take morality from Christianity and then claim a secular derivation in order to take ownership of said [...]

Fashion’s Effect on Men and Women

By ⋅ August 31, 2006 ⋅ 20 comments

It is no secret that the culture today is pressing onto men and women a certain look– and that look is not one of inner beauty, but it is an appeal to the carnal desires of the world. God made men and women to be appealing to one another to look upon– for obvious reasons. [...]

Head Coverings

By ⋅ November 24, 2004 ⋅ 31 comments

Watching any of the good old westerns, you’d no doubt see the hero (and sometimes the villians) take off their hat when entering a building– or at least in the presence of a lady. Today we have trouble having our children and adults ever taking off their hat, even for the national anthem or prayer [...]

Must Women Wear Skirts?

By ⋅ November 23, 2004 ⋅ 27 comments

For this Christmas, my wife said that we were overdue on getting new clothes. I think that it’s easy to neglect this area (especially being a man) unless circulation between parts of your body is being cut off! So, we’ve been shopping online and at the mall together to try to get at least her [...]

Worship- Not Just a Weekend Sport

By ⋅ November 22, 2004 ⋅ One comment

I’ve been reading through A. W. Tozer’s collection on Worship and Entertainment as part of assuming my new duties as Worship/Music Team leader at my church.  A lot of what he states in there coincided with what the sermon was about yesterday morning, so I figure that’s due up for my two cents here. I [...]
