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…
Encouragement During a Highly Anxious Political Climate
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…
Jesus, Help Us to Love Wisely
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…
Teaching Kids Obedience AND the Reason
Too many parents (finger pointed at myself) get in a rut with the word “No.” We want to stop our children from breaking the Law. I mean, read the Ten Commandments—how many of them start with “You shall not”? Obviously, we MUST teach them “No,” and we should start when they are very young. However,…
Doing the Weightier Matters of the Law
Jesus confronted the Pharisees: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others” (Matt. 23.23). The other aspects of the law are not necessarily less…
Defying Gravity, Truth, and Reality
Wicked star Cynthia Erivo has been cast to play the leading role of Jesus in the already irreverent play Jesus Christ Superstar in 2025. The fact that I am not surprised says a lot about today’s attention-demanding, morally bankrupt, and frankly uncreative Hollywood. The farther they get from the one true God the more fake,…
No Creed but the Bible?
“We have no creed but the Bible,” said the preachers of my youth. Indeed, this is the mantra of many fundamentalists groups and, often, groups which spin off into heresy and cultism. That does not prove it to be an incorrect statement, but that is a fact. What are you saying when you claim, “I…
Don’t Lay Down Your Sword!
My family and I watched a lecture last night by Greg Bahnsen. Judging from a reference to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, which had just come out, he must have delivered the lecture in 1991. Sadly, Bahnsen died young from medical complications to a surgery at age 47 in 1995, so he is no longer with…
Women in Submission in 2025?
With the recent appointment examination of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, the main theme of his examination (besides being pummeled for past sexual and alcoholic sins) regarded his views of women in the military. Incensed lawmakers pushed Hegseth to promise he would not remove women from the military, but Hegseth eloquently navigated their (less-than-clever)…
Don’t Judge!
Have you ever… …called someone an “idiot” (or worse) for cutting in front of you in traffic? …thought (in your head) that your spouse was ignorant, weak, or insane because they refused to see a matter your way? …clucked your tongue at a frazzled mom who couldn’t control her kids in the department store? …grimaced…
