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…
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…
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…
As a teenager, I recall a strong desire to be free of my parents’ command and overwatch. If only I could do what I wanted when I wanted—how wonderful would that be? As a parent, I now explain to my kids what my parents taught me. They cannot be free until they take full responsibility…
In a rare American interview with 60 Minutes’ Norah O’Donnell on CBS, Pope Francis said many controversial things. At about the 38:44 mark of the video, after being asked by O’Donnell about what gives him hope as he looks at this world, he answered, “People are fundamentally good. We are all fundamentally good. Yes, there…
Christians often get heartburn trying to figure out passages such as Deuteronomy 9.13–10.11. It records the golden calf incident in which the Israelites at the foot of Mt. Horeb (Sinai) decided to make a golden graven image just weeks after God had audibly spoken from that same mountain, “You shall worship no other gods before…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
