In predictable fashion, after another horrific display of evil, the very compassionate Left has come out to pillory “thoughts and prayers” as “not freaking enough“, or even denigrating the idea because children were murdered while literally praying. Whenever I hear someone confidently proclaim that prayer is “not working”, I want to ask, “How do you …
As Republicans debate President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”, the Left is mounting a time-tested attack. Jimmy Kimmel, for example, that bastion of well-reasoned critique and opposition, wonders how Republicans can support this bill and still go to church on Sunday. While there is definitely a good discussion to be had about how one’s faith affects …
I was mowing recently, and, as I often do, I was listening to music. This time, I was catching up on music from a old favorite of mine, Bride. One song in particular — “We’re All Going to Die” — caught my attention and got me to thinking about death and its implications for me …
Clearly, I know how I am going to vote, and I can tell you how I think you should vote, but there is no clear Biblical doctrine by which I — or anyone else, Believer or otherwise — can bind the conscience of another Christian. Go, therefore, and vote how you feel led, and do so with a clear conscience.
There is a new (at least to me) artist who has released what some have dubbed the most pro-life song ever. I think Seventh Angel might like to have a word, but my point is not quibble over that point; I’d like to help spread this song around, because it’s pretty awesome. I do have …
I recently had a conversation where my interlocutor lamented that the Church “wastes” money on buildings and salaries instead of focusing on “the work of the church”, which is, in his view, feeding the poor. While that is, indeed, an important part of the life of every Christian (or should be), is that really “the …
One of the preachers at Falls Creek had a great thought for Christians who succumb to temptation and feel that they’re unqualified for service. He noted that often, when a Christian stumbles and sins, our tendency is to step away from service, worship, etc. It’s a natural and common reaction, but he noted that that …
I recently read a post on Twitter (it is and shall forevermore be called thus) that regurgitates a pretty common liberal argument in favor of unfettered illegal immigration. The argument goes something like this: Person 1: I oppose illegal immigrationPerson 2: Are you a Christian?Person 1: Yes, I am!Person 2: The Bible says you’re supposed …
Today, Pat Robertson died. My first reaction was a touch of sorrow. I didn’t agree with a lot of what he said, but he’s a brother in Christ, so far as I can tell, and, generally speaking, death makes me sad. There is a group, however, that was not sad, that being the somewhat militant …
I have been involved with martial arts (karate, specifically) for decades, since I was about 9 or 10, I think, and I have loved it. One thing I’ve learned, though, is that there’s more to self defense than punches and kicks. This became breathtakingly clear to me at my most recent belt test where, once …
