My twelve-year-old son exclaimed the other day, “Why do they have to put the first letter and then tell you the exact number of letters in the word?! Now we know exactly what it is!” We were watching some news, and the commentator was quoting from some post on X. So many say “F” this…
In the last 10 to 15 years, I have noticed a major spike in talk about mental health issues. Major companies regularly address this issue and have dumped boatloads of cash into building “safe spaces” for employees. Apparently, May is Mental Health Awareness Month and has been since 1949. Who knew? Well-meaning mental health practitioners…
For years, debates have raged over abortion, suicide, and euthanasia. The debates are intensifying. A Christian culture would have no reason to debate these issues. What we have today is an anti-Christian (godless) society which consistently chooses death over life. It’s a twisted juxtaposition. The same culture which hates thinking about aging and dying also…
Sister Sue lived across the street from Mr. Cherill Schmid, our preacher in Mount Olive, AL. I remember the church gathering at her house, sitting all around her living room, spilling into a couple of other sections of the house, kids cross-legged on the floor, adults on couches and easy chairs and fold-out chairs.

My daughter and I attended a recent debate in northern Louisiana between AK Richardson and James White focused on a positive interpretation of Romans 9. Richardson’s theology was described as generally “church of Christ” theology, and he preaches for a church in AR. James White is an elder in a Baptist church in AZ and…

(And the KJV-only guys leap to defend their precious…) Where Easter Began In Acts 12, King Herod killed James, the brother of John, and when he realized what a popular activity Christian-killing was, he planned to also…
Empathy takes “Don’t judge me” to the next level. What is empathy? According to Merriam-Webster: Empathy, n. “the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another.” God has made people differently, so, as you would expect, some have higher capacities for empathy than others….
If you are a Christian in America, online, and haven’t heard about The Chosen: Last Supper yet, I congratulate you. I have been seeing advertisements constantly for the past couple of months. It hits theaters on April 28, and I have been told I should get my entire church to go see it and also…
Several of my Facebook friends seem quite anxious lately. I’m trying to remember if I had the same anxiety over the last four years when I felt our country’s political moorings had come untethered. I don’t think I held the same level of anxiety as those who are furiously posting and reposting against the current…
Though I was not completely surprised, I was still slightly bewildered as almost the entire Democrat wing of representatives refused to rejoice in the beautiful gifts and accolades given to several individuals and families during President Trump’s address to Congress on March 4, 2025. The entire side of the room seemed petty, sulky, and inhumane…
