Is it hypocritical for Evangelicals to passionately advocate the sanctity of life in the womb and simultaneously support the state sponsored taking of a human life? I have personally known many a people, to include several professing Evangelicals, who would take such a position. I have personally witnessed Evangelicals bombastically attempt to point out… Continue Reading

Thiswell-known and oft-quoted verse from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount is the locus of my blog article… Continue Reading
Evangelicals & The Name
Alexander the Great, one of the greatest military generals who ever lived, conquered almost the entire known world with his vast army. One night during a campaign, he couldn’t sleep and left his tent to walk around the campgrounds. As he was walking, he came across a soldier asleep on guard duty – a serious… Continue Reading
Evangelicals & Government
Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” Ronald Regan The most terrifying words in the English language are: I am from the government, and I’m here to help. Ronald Regan No government should be without critics. If its intentions are good, then it has nothing to fear from criticism. Thomas… Continue Reading
Evangelicals & Anger

There is Stinkin Thinkin taking place at epic proportion. This past week we have two major corporations (Delta Airlines &… Continue Reading
Evangelicals & Wokeism
The older you get, the worse you get. If you grew up anything like me, you had parents that used various cliches repeatedly. The aforementioned one that begins this blog post was one of my father’s favorite. Little did I understand how prescient that expression would have for the real world in adulthood. Unbeknownst… Continue Reading
Evangelical & Racism
I am changing the title from my last post, but the topic remains the same. Our society inundates us with sloppy reasoning regarding some of the more serious topics of our day. The one I want to address today is the topic of systemic racism. The Left ubitiquously, almost literally, cannot go an entire… Continue Reading
Evangelicals & Erudition

God is impressed by Character (Rick Warren) Character is doing the right thing when no one is looking (J.C.

Evangelicals & Providence
Unfortunately, there is a gross misunderstanding concerning the theological doctrine of Providence. Though Providence shares many of the same components as Election, there remains a stark difference between the two doctrines. Election deals primarily, though not exclusively, with the doctrine of soteriology (doctrine of salvation). One prime example of Election is when God chose the… Continue Reading
Evangelicals & Popularity
You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. (Matthew 5:13) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify… Continue Reading
Evangelicals & Discipline
For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. (Hebrews 12:11) When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be avenged. 21 But if the slave… Continue Reading
