This is Part I of a two part series that uses some data and testimonies that don’t get a lot of air time where the Coronavirus is concerned. In Part I, we look at the response from Insurance companies to the claim that a death benefit can be denied if the deceased passed away as […]
It’s not just brilliant statesmanship or profound philosophy that makes us who we are. It is the way we appealed to the Bible for the moral substance for our cause and the template for our approach to government. While there have been several personalities since then that have used either the Bible or the flag […]
Maintaining the idea that sin is “private,” is a misnomer. You can think of it as the flow of traffic. Adam and Eve When Adam and Eve chose to take a bite of that apple, they tapped their brakes and everyone behind them was compelled to slow down (Rom 5:12). If a couple chooses to […]
It’s one of those questions that can take you by surprise in that conventional church culture puts a lot of emphasis on who we are apart from Christ. Many of the sermons and a lot of the Praise and Worship we sing focus more on the insufficiency of the believer rather than the all sufficiency […]
When you hear an atheist talk about what they don’t believe, it’s often articulated in a way that sounds as though his perspective is based on an empirical foundation characterized by reason, science and compassion. There’s nothing mystical or “miraculous” about their approach to the human experience. They don’t subscribe to anything other than what can […]
Eliminate the stained glass windows and the sacred texts and “religion,” from a purely philosophical perspective, is how you answer four basic questions: Where did you come from (origin)?

The Liberal disposition towards God is similar to a football player who’s on the field, playing the game, but doesn’t believe in a Referee. There are no penalties, only plays. The idea is to move the ball down the field and enjoy the fulfillment that comes from putting points on the board. That is not […]
Christianity is not just loving your neighbor and giving to the poor. That’s the easy part. Anybody can smile and write a check. The real challenge is loving God. That’s the first and greatest commandment and it’s the way in which you love God that will shape the way you love others (Matt 22:37-39; 1 […]
What does it mean to be saved and why do you believe in the death and resurrection of Christ? What makes you think it’s true and what difference does it make? Saying that you were, “…brought up in a Christian home,” doesn’t really answer the question. Nor does it mean much when you say that […]
If a building is on fire, you don’t criticize or restrict anyone who is helping to put out the blaze. Not unless you want to see the building continue to burn… Everything you hear about COVID-19 is framed around “cases” and “death tolls.” Whenever any effort is made to include in the conversation recovery rates […]
