Often, we believe lies because they have truth intermixed. Also, when culture continually drowns us in their worldview, we tend to slowly start to accept it—especially when it becomes dangerous to take an opposing position. “Diversity is our strength” has become the motto of our day, and Americans believe it because this country has been,…

What Part of “All Authority” Have We Not Understood?
Sometimes we seem to have a split personality as Christians, and we often do not think critically or logically about our faith. What do we really believe about our Lord Jesus Christ? When He says, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth,” how do we understand that? Do we think…
New Methodist Manual on Inclusive Language: Cultural Christianity?
I recently wrote an article about DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), focusing on our modern-day workplaces, but this seductive and destructive philosophy is gaining footholds among some modern-day churches who seek to identify with this world’s culture. They seem to think God commanded them to ride the cultural waves, but they are reading from a…
How Does Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Help?
I’ve written before about DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). If you work for a company of any size these days, they probably have a DEI team, or at least a guy or gal who pushes DEI initiatives in your company. They will have a written DEI plan (usually easily accessible on their website) with a…
Decapitating Idols
If you have been following the news, you’ve likely heard the Satanic Temple of Iowa erected a “religious display” in the Iowa state capitol next to the Christmas nativity scene. Why Jon Dunwell Didn’t Fight It Republican State Senator Jon Dunwell gave his reasons why he thought the display should be allowed, but he also,…
Preserving Christian Culture
A red-spotted purple admiral butterfly sipping nectar from tiny pink flowers is objectively beautiful. Anyone who says it’s not speaks against the truth because God created both butterfly and flower to be beautiful. Together they deliver a double dose of gorgeous. Mozart arranged objectively beautiful music. Maybe it’s not your style, sure, but to claim…
An Old Man on a Porch in a Rocking Chair
Last May, Stephen A. Smith interviewed Neil Degrasse Tyson (astrophysicist and science commentator), in part discussing modern sensibilities on gender differences. At 59:08 in the YouTube Video, Tyson said: “Apparently, the XX/XY chromosomes are insufficient, because when we wake up in the morning we exaggerate whatever feature we want to portray the gender of our…
Ditching DEI for Indiscriminate Love
Idols of ideology pervade our culture, and “diversity” is a leading idol of our day. Consider Garth Brooks’ latest news-making, as he has boldly declared he will serve Bud Light in his new Nashville bar, Friends in Low Places. Brooks said, “Diversity. Inclusiveness. That’s me. It’s always been me. I think diversity is the answer…
Pride Month – There Is No Neutrality
Not long ago, they told us, “If you say that homosexuality is a sin, you are speaking hate. After all, the homosexuals are not hurting anyone. So please just keep your hatemongering to yourselves so we can all get along.” So we did. Then they said a few minutes later, “Homosexuality is good.” And we…
Why I’m Continuing to Boycott Target
CNN Business posted an article on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, titled “Target removing some Pride merchandise after anti-LGBTQ threats against staff.” Target says their employees have received threats by an anti-LBGT campaign which has “impacted their sense of safety and well-being.” In response to these violent threats (which remain unsubstantiated, but are uncalled-for, if true),…
