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
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men (Matt. 5:13). Thiswell-known and oft-quoted verse from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount is the locus of my blog article… Continue Reading
This week I am blessed to write and publish two blog posts. I will seek to be economical in my words with this post, so wish me well. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito caused a national stir with his speech at a recent meeting of the Federal Society (see note below). Justice Alito was the… Continue Reading
A follower gently corrected me in my last post, so I dare not commit the same faux pas this time and refer to Joseph Biden as the President-Elect. Instead, I will refer to him as the presumptive POTUS, based on the votes cast in this year’s Presidential election. Now, with that technicality hopefully put to… Continue Reading
Like most children, my parents were fond of reciting ubitiquous statements. Parents must conspire to come up with these statements and dispense them repeatedly to their offspring. Expressions like “if ‘such and such’ jumps off the roof does that mean you will jump off the roof too” or “you do not believe fat meat is… Continue Reading
The right to freedom of expression is sacrosanct if a nation is to flourish. Whether it was Copernicus with the courage to speak about the scientific understanding about the geocentric model of Ptolemy that had prevailed for centuries, which had placed Earth at the center of the Universe or Martin Luther tenaciously speaking against the prevailing doctrinal malfeasance of… Continue Reading
And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place. (Acts 17:26) It is only now that I truly realize the blessed conditions my brothers and I grew up in. I would not have… Continue Reading
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good. (ESV, Proverbs 14:1) But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ (ESV Luke 12:20) You serpents,… Continue Reading
“It is no wonder, then, that Liberalism is totally different from Christianity, for the foundation is different. Christianity is founded upon the Bible. It bases upon the Bible both its thinking and its life. Liberalism on the other hand is founded upon the shifting emotions of sinful men.” It should come as no major… Continue Reading
We live in unprecedented times. Now, there is a very real sense that all of the time is unprecedented as the events that currently take place have never happened before. But there is a whole other sense we can say unprecedented, and everyone understands what people mean perfectly when we speak about the year… Continue Reading
Sadly, we live in a worldwhere most people usually gravitate to one of the spectra. Either we go theroute of extreme coldness, or we choose the polar opposite of searing heat. We becomeeither too hot, or we become too cold. The best course of action, in mostcases, is to be someone in the middle. For many… Continue Reading
We are most certainly living in unprecedented times. It is during unprecedented times that our thinking and reasoning must be at their sharpest. One of the reasons I find Calvinist thinking is that it usually comprises some of the most erudite thinking in the Evangelical community. Names like Johnathan Edward, George Whitfield, John Owens, Martin… Continue Reading
I don’t see myself casting a white dude as the lead. Jordan Peele I believe it is imperative if one is going to provide commentary, it must be fair, it must be consistent, and they have to address the problematic subjects. African Americans continue to advance the argument that racism is a persistent problem… Continue Reading
The Year 2020 is quickly sizing up to be one for the ages. COVID-19 pandemic, the racial strife, the cessation of sports to name just a few, and we have not completed the month of July yet. My biggest conundrum by far is the radical, unorthodox response of so many professing Evangelicals from both the… Continue Reading
