Super Bowl LVIII was played last Sunday, and a great deal is being said on the interwebs about one of the advertisements by a group called He Gets Us. It shows a series of people washing the feet of others and ends with the message, “Jesus didn’t teach hate. He washed feet.” Then it says,…

I Cannot Wait to See Him Again
Early in my life’s journey, I came to a fork in the road. One path seemed lonely and steep, while the other seemed wide and easy. I chose the easier path which was purported to be filled with fun, frolicking, and frivolity. It sloped gently downward, at least to begin with, so I thought my…
Believe in the Lord Jesus and You Will Be Saved
It has become fashionable for Christians to tell their neighbors and friends to “make Jesus Lord.” They say a person must accept Jesus as their personal savior and make Him Lord of their life. I am not opposed to using phrases and words which are not directly found in the Bible if they capture a…
The Power of Love
Darwin grossly missed many things, but his recognition of “survival of the fittest” is correct. In the animal world, the weak become food for the strong. When watching a herd of antelope flee an attacking pack of wild dogs, you might notice a mother and her offspring running together and think, “See how she loves…
Jesus: True Friend of Sinners
WWJD with Gay Neighbors? What would Jesus do if He lived next door to a gay couple? What if He met them one day as they were coming out of their apartment? Would He make small talk? Would He act like everything were cool? Would He try to get them to like Him and be…
Getting the Moral Cart before the Gospel Horse
Bekah and I were in our twenties living in a little house in Pinson, AL. Across the street lived a young couple, and we struck up a loose friendship with them. One might consider them, perhaps, typical of their culture and age. She tended towards the Goth trend with dark makeup, dyed hair, and conspicuous…
Respecting God’s Pronouns
Charlotte Clymer is a “trans woman,” a biological man who goes to great lengths to present himself as a woman. Recently, Clymer was interviewed by Joy Reid on MSNBC, and the discussion went, in part, like this: Clymer: I would challenge anyone just to get to know trans people. We are a vibrant, diverse community,…
The Trans Movement and the Gospel
“I was lookin’ for love in all the wrong places” – Johnny Lee Everyone, whether he knows it or not, has a driving desire for salvation and eternal life. Some travel across oceans and unknown continents searching for the fountain of youth—but God has hidden the Tree of Life. Some give themselves to saving the…
How to Stop a Progressivism Train
The train has not only run off the tracks but has rolled down a ravine. Smoke belches from the wreckage. Parents, kids, and grandkids—several generations scattered among the carnage—beckon with blood- and soot-streaked hands, “Join us down here! We are going places. This is progress!” A few of us stand on the lonely hillside and…
Winning Souls for Christ
Evangelical churches have pushed “winsomeness” over the past few decades as the way we should present the gospel to the lost. “Why are not more coming to faith?” they asked. “Why are we not seeing more people flooding into the kingdom of Christ? How can we better win souls to the Lord?” They then looked…
