A Father Celebrates Killing His Child
"I cannot imagine arguing against a woman’s right to control her body and thus her life"
Touré is not disputing the humanity of the unborn. He concedes that seeing the second trimester sonogram of his son made him reconsider his view of when life begins. At the end of the day, however, human life in the womb is morally irrelevant to him. The only morally relevant issue is a woman’s absolute... Continue Reading
Prayers for the Future
How should believers respond as First Amendment liberties come under assault?
I think your assessment of the environment surrounding the First Amendment is correct. I have two young children (2 years and 7 months) and the possibility for more in the future, who will grow up in a vastly different America than I did. Part of me is saddened when I consider this likely reality. The... Continue Reading
Misunderstanding Israel and America
A Critique of The Harbinger and dispensational theology
A couple of weeks ago, I was listening to American Family Radio’s Bryan Fischer as he said, “Only two nations in history have ever had a direct covenant relationship with God, Israel and America.” He claimed that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were America’s covenant documents with God. He was making this claim... Continue Reading
Don’t Let the Screen Strangle Your Soul: Part 1
The danger of becoming dependent on technology
Much has been written and will be written about our insatiable appetite for the screen. I’ll leave it to others to decide if Google makes us stupid and whether young people are more or less relational than ever before. Let me simply suggest three ways in which the digital revolution, for all its benefits, is... Continue Reading
A War on the Military?
Just How Much More Disruption Can the Radical Left Cause our Military While We are at War?
Who are we kidding? We can withdraw from one front, but in this new century global war waged by radical Islamic terrorists, the “front” is always moving. Western Africa now looms as a new battle front. We are at war and to deny it is naive, but to make sweeping changes in military operations plus... Continue Reading
13 Reasons Christians Don’t Have to Be Afraid
Several promises in the Bible that we can remember when the temptation of fear assaults us
Fear is like the monster under my kids’ beds — its power is fueled not by what’s really there, but by what might be, what we imagine could be. Fear is a hollow darkness in the future that reaches back through time to rob our joy now by belittling the sovereign goodness of God. But... Continue Reading
Jesus, the Propitiation of God’s Wrath
God himself makes the offering that turns away his own wrath
God propitiates his own wrath. Know anybody else like that? Will China pay off the US debt? Will any of the victims of Bernie Madoff personally pay his financial debts? When does the offended personally provide the means to take away his own offense? Only God. This is why he is love. Not that his... Continue Reading
Blind Evolution
How could an unthinking process steer biology towards something so unimaginable as sight?
A man born blind- an intelligent, rational, thinking man who tries to understand color- cannot even begin to imagine color. He can’t even slightly imagine what the world looks like. It’s beyond his conception. And yet, we are to believe that the blind process of evolution- the unthinking, irrational, impersonal forces of nature- was able,... Continue Reading
Why the Good News Turns Bad Without Adam
It makes God bad and disembowels our salvation
Let’s put it this way: what if sin did not enter the world at a particular point in time, with a real, historic first sin? Well then we have to say that God must have created a sinful, fallen world. Sin must be a part of what God considers ‘very good’ (Genesis 1:31). Now either... Continue Reading
NAACP, Hispanics Fight Government Intervention
Working together to stop the government's ban on beverages in New York
The absolute absurdity of government telling business owners the number of ounces they can or cannot sell warrants a much longer comment than this blog allows, but America beware: this type of intervention is coming to a town near you. Politicians, yet again, have put themselves in the seat of omniscience to tell the rest... Continue Reading
