The Dishonesty of the Homosexual Agenda

One of the things that troubles me in the “homosexuality and the Bible” discussion is the lack of integrity of much of the homosexual scholarship. One example of this comes to the student of the Bible in 1 Cor 6.9. I was recently reading an article where the following was stated; Modern translations of the…

A Quick Note On Law Keeping

One of the primary confusions that I see within the Christian sphere has to do with attitudes towards law keeping, specifically, God’s law and the ordinances set forth in Scripture. Two attitudes that are prevalent within the church are (1) we are no longer under the law and therefore, we have no guiding law-like system…

THE PROBLEM OF EVIL AND MATERIALISM

THE PROBLEM OF EVIL      The final area of internal critique of the materialistic worldview comes via the problem of evil. Intimately tied to the subject of objective morality, this issue for the Materialist is seemingly insurmountable given their foundational presuppositions. First, the recognition that evil does exist implies that there is an objective standard…

Moral Absolutes and Materialism

Moral Absolutes      The second realm of law that the materialistic universe cannot justify falls into the area of moral absolutes. Like logical laws/absolutes, moral absolutes are the universal, abstract and invariant standard that undergirds objective ethical claims.

Al Mohler and the Sandy Hook Murders

Albert Mohler just weighed in on the horrific shootings that took place in Newtown, Conn. and it is well worth the read. Again, please be in prayer for the families who have lost loved ones in this event. I can’t even imagine. And, Lord Jesus, please bring us all to a better understanding of these…

God Help Us

The message, “We just must do something to take guns off the streets,” or, “Why in the world does someone need a weapon that holds 30…

It’s Been a While…

It’s been a good while since I last posted due to my busy school schedule, so, just to prove that I’m still alive and have not been taken to glory, I just wanted to share a few comments. First, there is much “to-do” these days in reference to the issue of morality, with many stating…

A Few Thoughts From Today

After a number of hours of reflection, anger, disappointment and repentance, and after a number of hours of homework, I finally have a moment to relay a couple of thoughts regarding today’s Obamacare ruling. First, given the nature of the beast and the fact that we live in a post Christian country, this should not…

Romney, Obama and the Kingdom of Christ

If you are a conservative who is not on board with the Mitt Romney express, you have heard it said by now; “Not voting for Romney is a vote for Obama.” First, let’s deal with this horrific error. One thing needs to be pointed out right off that bat, a vote for neither Romney OR…
