How Did We Become Illiterate?
The literacy rate in the United States is 99%. We know how to read. But we are illiterate in one important area. We suffer from Biblical Illiteracy. Many would disagree. They shout that this is a “Christian nation” that is founded upon “Christian principles.” True enough, but we are still ignorant of the Scriptures to […]
Obama, Thomas and Ignorance
I try to avoid overt politics here. This site is first about Jesus Christ and his gospel of salvation. We do talk about political issues sometimes as they touch on things of faith but we do shy away from talking about candidates. But today is different. Kind of. Cal Thomas is a political pundit who […]
The “Attractional” Church
Churches are searching for young adults. Survey’s have repeatedly shown that people in their 20’s are abandoning churches in growing numbers. Some return when they marry, have children and begin to look for additional stability but some never come back. To plug the slow drain some churches have turned to big bands and big social […]
Are You Looking in the Right Mirror?
Most take a quick look at themselves before leaving home each morning. A quick check confirms that hair is properly styled, that clothes are neatly fitted and that no evidence of breakfast remains on the teeth. Throughout the day we often sneak another peak just to make sure nothing has changed. We want to look […]
The Dangerous Prom
Spring brings the prom. It’s the social event of the year for many young people. But hidden beneath all the fancy dresses and well groomed, tuxedo-clad men lies a dangerous truth. The prom is no place for a Christian. It’s an optional event that is fraught with danger. So much so that the term “prom […]
Really? Praying for Abortions?
Guess we shouldn’t be surprised, Satan himself is often disguised as an “angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14). I’ll let this article speak for itself except to say that wickedness knows no bounds. There may be some tidbits of good here but, really? Planned Parenthood Holds Prayer Service As always, your comments are welcomed.
It’s Not Working
Churches try all sorts of ways to attract people to their services. Some focus heavily on music and large scale productions while others have turned to large youth oriented carnivals and rallies. Still others spend large amounts on advertising and market research. Of course many still rely on the ICP’s (incredibly corny phrases) posted on […]
Here We Go Again…Modesty
My good friend Jeremy Pate has a fine post on modesty. It’s rich with sarcasm but maybe that’s the best way to get the message out. Please take a moment to read I have nothing to say about modesty at his blog.
Blurry Vision
Many years ago a former boss was traveling to a football game in Mobile, Alabama. A decorated World War II veteran he suffered serious vision troubles because of his time in a prisoner of war camp. He was driving and chatting with a notable football coach who rode along with him. Suddenly, and without slowing […]
No Man Is An Island
John Donne, English poet, wrote that “No man is an island entire of itself.” The point being that we all are a part of one another and our actions impact others. How true! The things I do affects others today and well into the future. I am not isolated. I am not alone. What likely […]
