Well, this is a broad sentence. We can talk about that briefly, but I guess I’m really trying to tackle the question, should Christian want war with Iran? Because this is an incredibly complex geopolitical conflict, let’s make 2 assumptions. Assumption #1 – I don’t know all the ins-and-outs of Iran, Israel, or the US’s international interests, malfeasance, or relevant historical actions. Assumption … More Should Christians Want War?
“I’m in love, I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it!” ~Buddy the Elf I.Love.The.Chosen. I’m really late to the party. I know. I initially put The Chosen into the same category as all the other Christian movies I’ve seen over the years. A good message, but terrible acting, a worse script, and … More A Critical Response to Critics of The Chosen
I thought about this question the other day and have been chewing on it since. It would seem obvious, but maybe it isn’t? I’m not talking politics here. (Everybody has sucked all the fun out of talking politics lately.) I’m asking the question should Believers in Jesus care one way or another if the President … More Should the Church Want a Godly President?
There’s plenty to argue about in this election. And there’s part of me that loves arguing and a part of me that hates it. What isn’t up for debate is that there will be true, born-again believers who will vote in numerous different ways in this 2020 election (and Christians who will want to deny … More Christian Voting Options for 2020
I love the Constitution. I think it is a pretty incredible document. I think the first 10 Amendments (i.e. the Bill of Rights) are pretty awesome too. It recognizes that the rights of the individual are greater than the rights of the government and have been naturally granted by God and not bestowed by any … More The Second Commandment: Thou Shalt Bear Arms
I hate war. There’s so much politics. There’s so much suffering. There’s so much death. I never want people to have to experience the horrors of war. As a Christian, I individually want to “turn the other cheek” and “love my enemy.” However, these are instructions for individual Christians, and not written to governing officials. … More 5 Reasons We Should Go to War
Language matters. Language communicates ideas and ideas matter. Language can convey love or hate, hope or fear. Language matters. Anytime I talk “politics” I always want to preface where I’m coming from. Let me try to share without using labels. I think government should let me do whatever I want as long as I don’t … More The Language of Conservatives and Liberals
Yes. Yes it is. What do I mean by that you ask? Well, let’s think about how Religions of yester-year operated (and certainly some today.) 1) Dogmatic Teachings 2) Make All the Money You Can 3) Rule Politics to Rule through Fear 4) Publically Ridicule Dissenters 5) Excommunicate Heretics Well, what about … More Is New Science Acting Like Old Religion?
No. (Sorry for the click bait headline. Think how often I’ll do that if I actually got paid by advertisers.) But, how much more intense would the pre-game analysis be if the “experts” and former players were risking their lives with every pick. That’s must see TV. I guess they’d have an in-memoriam section from … More Does the Bible Say We Should Kill Those that Predict the SuperBowl Wrong?
I don’t know how to say “farewell” to President Obama. I’m going to try to be as honest as I can (which probably will mean everyone will disagree with me.) I’m confused about how to feel about President Obama. I listened to a lot of talk radio and they warned me that “Obummer” was going … More A Confused Farewell for President Obama
