We live in a very strange time. The strangeness is not necessarily caused by the blustering politics, worldview clashes and a viral pandemic crashing over the globe. The strangeness is not necessarily caused by the swirling media confusion either. Rather, it is strange because we think we should be immune, pardon the pun, to such […]
A number of years have passed since I first heard my black friend talk about it. He was upset. Now, I need to be clear, he was not upset at me or even other whites. I also need to be clear that he has faced despicably racially discrimination in the past. Even so, he was […]
I know there are many such types; I see them often. It was a meme, an anti-Christian meme. Sitting prominent center was a little church with its large steeple ablaze from a lightning strike. Text on the image said something to the effect of: “Either your God is mad at you or you’re worshiping the […]
Social unrest during this trying time is on the rise. Everyone seems to be concerned with the trajectory of today’s COVID-19 crises. As I look at the whole situation, a number of intersecting concerns come to mind. First, I’m concerned about this serious disease. The virus is virulent, people are getting sick and some are […]
Pandemic. Worldwide epidemic. COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2. 2019-nCoV. Where is God in this time of mass viral outbreak? If God is all loving, all good and all powerful, why does he permit pain, evil, suffering and death? This is not the first time we’ve had to think about this question. How many of us have lost a […]
One dark night, your neighbor steals apples from a local orchard. The next morning, the same neighbor is out and about screaming and crying that you, you stole apples from the local orchard! To add insult to injury, he is screaming and crying all this as he is munching on one of those apples from […]
I’m sure you’ve heard this classic tale countless times. An always well-dressed emperor employed two “weavers” to manufacture a new suite of clothing. These “weavers”, or should I say swindlers, pompously proclaimed that the cloth they would weave would be invisible to stupid people. Such a capital idea. Of course, the emperor only wanted brilliant […]
The stories are almost all the same, the hero versus the villain. There’s an opening setting, conflict, rising action, tense climax and finally a conclusion. The protagonist is in battle with the antagonist. The stories of Bond, James Bond, are no different. Adventure, action and intrigue mark his life. He keeps his cool but he’s […]
I’ve recently come across several news stories that piqued my interest. They all had a common thread; they all had something to do with the LGBTQ issue. The first one was the obvious story: the Chick-Fil-A story. The debate was all about whether or not Chick-Fil-A capitulated to leftist “LGBTQ” groups? Another post was about […]
It’s one of my favorite stories. A well-known contemporary Christian advocate got challenged by his son about the truth of Christianity. Sean McDowell informed his dad he didn’t know if Christianity was even true. Did his dad, Josh, respond in anger, frustration or fear? No, rather all he gave was the innocuous “that’s great son.” […]
