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…

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,…
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)…
A Return to Reality and Logic
Our public school system has systematically and consistently crumbled since 1980 when the Department of Education was formed in the United States under the Jimmy Carter administration. I remember when George W. Bush pushed his “No Child Left Behind” mantra, which sounded nice but had no teeth. According to World Population Review: Ironically, despite the United…
Sins Worthy of Death Part 3
Most of us easily agree with Scripture that murderers are worthy of death. They took another person’s life; they brought death upon themselves. In societies like our “advanced” one, it is, perhaps, more difficult to agree with Scripture that those who commit sexual immorality are worthy of death. Today, we will see a few other…
Sins Worthy of Death Part 1: Murder
I have said it myself, and I’ve heard many say, “All sin is worthy of death.” In the cosmic sense, this is true, as the root of all sin is our selfishness and pride and desire to control our own lives like our first parents. However, in the social sense of justice which God outlines…
The Morality of Our Election Choices
The memory of the righteous is a blessing,but the name of the wicked will rot. (Prov. 10.7) President Biden likes to say, “History will judge…” Indeed, historians judge from all kinds of angles, but God is the real judge. No matter how we attempt to rewrite and organize the facts, God knows the truth, and…
Why Are Christians So Hated?
It should be well known that Christians are the most peaceful of all people. We do not wield literal swords and guns to fight for our spiritual cause. Many Christians over the years have submitted meekly and humbly to sometimes horrific deaths because they refused to renounce the name of Jesus. They followed Jesus. As…
Were Christians’ Feelings Hurt by the 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony?
By now most have heard how some Parisian artist created a monstrous blasphemy to usher in the 2024 Olympics last month—a version of the Last Supper with an obese lesbian woman in place of the Lord and drag queens feasting instead of the apostles. Many have scoffed at the silly Christians getting offended over nothing…
