Ascent From Darkness

Ascent from Darkness follows the life story of the author, Michael Leehan, through his own eyes.  This first person narrative sounds authentic in its style, and makes you marvel at the depths a man can sink to.  It also challenges you to take a look at those around you and to examine just what is [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Television and Christianity

On a recent episode of Friday Night Lights, there were some elements that bring up an interesting discussion about children, Christianity and television.

You Must Promote My Lifestyle

Constance McMillen is a homosexual.  She is also a senior in a public high school in Mississippi, and as such she was looking forward to her senior prom.  She wanted to bring a date, and because of her lifestyle, she wanted to bring another young lady and she wanted to wear a tuxedo instead of [...]

Evangelical Christianity and the New Testament Standard

Evangelical Christianity is now tragically below the New Testament standard. Worldliness is an accepted part of our way of life. Our religious mood is social instead of spiritual. We have lost the art of worship. We are not producing saints. Our models are successful businessmen, celebrated athletes and theatrical personalities. We carry on our religious [...]

Western Political Thought

No, not the law of the Old West, but the foundation of Western Political Thought as it applies to today’s culture and America.  This country is one of that will soon experience what many have felt before it—what every country has felt when it forgets its roots and strays from it’s foundation. Western Political Thought [...]

Who Were the Founders?

I made a statement in my post about how America has been like Paris Hilton about the beginning of our nation—what the atmosphere was like at the founding and what the people there believed and what they chose to use as a basis for their law and principles. Since this happens frequently, I believe that [...]

Where Are All The Men?

A great discussion has erupted over on Is This Modest.  It started out talking about romancing one’s husband, but mutated into a discussion about men and the church.  The question that is running around the comments section is “Has the church become so feminized that men don’t care to attend?

Respect a Man I Disagree With?

The setting was the Roman Empire.  From his prison cell, the Apostle Paul was writing letters to churches and individuals instructing them on the faith—teaching doctrine through words that would be read and parsed down through the generations. It was a bad time to be a Christian.  Not in the grand scheme of things, for [...]

10 Questions for Christmas Conversation

I know, the holidays are over.  Because of my schedule and the changes that are going on in my family’s life over the past month since I was told that I had to find new employment, I’ve been a pretty delinquent blogger.  That couldn’t stop me, however, from noticing this great post by Christa Taylor [...]

Have You Had Enough?

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

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 [...]

You R Going 2 Die

So said the scrawling on the bathroom stall I found myself in Monday morning.  Now, I guess I could have taken it as a warning, and left immediately, but instead I found myself reflecting on the fact that we’re all mortal, and we all have a short time on Earth to make an impact.

The Christian Worldview

The more I’ve talked online about Creation vs. Evolution or Atheism vs. Christianity the more it confirms to me that these two worldviews are very difficult to reconcile because of their nature. Both believe that they reflect truth, and that the other reflects nonsense. Both strongly hold their opinions, and the longer that they debate [...]
