What's good for the Goose, is good for the Gander
(For those who believe that homosexuality is "genetic" and eliminate choice altogether) "They were born that way!" I know you've heard this argument, as have I, in defense of the homosexual lifestyle. In fact, this sentiment exists at almost every level of society these days and the way things are ...
Amendment One: The Right Thing
I know many will dismiss this column as a “religious” intrusion into political and legal affairs, a typical response for our day, but since most columns I've read are devoid of any consideration of the divine in regard to the gay marriage issue, I thought it important to balance the ...
Do Judaism, Christianity, and Islam really worship the same God?
Over the years, I’ve come to realize that rationality, logic, and just “good-ole” common sense usually play some role in a good discussion or debate, but all of that seems to change when a discussion takes a religious or theological turn. It’s almost like the mere mention of the word ...
Christmas: The Declaration of Human Uniqueness
We live in a strange age. We live in a time when men seek freedom while other men, evolutionary scientists particularly, tell us that we are not free. We do seem to live in an age when men are more comfortable with reducing human nature to mere matter, a reductionism ...
Christmas: The Scariest Time of Year
Well, Christmas is upon us - again - and unlike years gone by, I wanted to give my readers, assuming I have any, enough time to circulate the column that I think expresses the reason that our culture hates Christmas as it does. While there may be numbers of reasons ...
Robert Jeffress had it Right: Let Mormon’s Speak for Themselves
Sometimes, it helps to just keep ones mouth shut and let people “hang” themselves,” as my dad says, and such is the case with the recent incident of Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church, Dallas, for calling Mormonism a “cult.” Since that statement, the detractors of the Christian Faith ...
President Obama Joins Religious Right?
Sitting at my computer and listening to some of the 9/11 memorial service, I heard a strange voice reading scripture. The voice I heard was a familiar one, as was the passage, but for some odd reason the two didn’t seem to go together. It was akin to a barking ...
Atheists are Thieves
I don’t mind somebody borrowing my tools from time to time, but what makes me angry is when they borrow them and then refuse to bring them back. Imagine approaching a friend and/or neighbor, the same one to whom you graciously loaned one of your tools, and then hearing him ...
Gay Marriage: A Philosophical and Theological Statement
I don’t know anybody on the “right” or “left” of the political isle who doesn’t believe that we’re in financial mess as a nation, and while we argue over the solution, some people saw it coming many years ago. Oh, the validity of the old adage, then, “an ounce of ...
The Resurrection: The Physical Link to Eternity
Those who read the New Testament will quickly discover the emphasis upon which the disciples placed on the physical resurrection. It was so important, in fact, that the apostle Paul – the persecutor turned evangelist – declared it to be so essential that if not true then Christianity is the ...
No Gay Gene? (choice re-emerges)
In 1998 the American Psychological Association rocked the world with its discovery of what some called the “gay gene,” concluding as one might expect, that homosexuality had a genetic cause. "There is considerable recent evidence,” the report read, “to suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a ...
Martin Luther King Joins Religious Right
Martin Luther King Joins Religious Right No, I haven’t lost my mind and the above title is not a misprint. As many celebrate both King and his mission this month, I am inclined to believe that the Civil Rights Movement with Martin Luther King, Jr. at the helm, emerged from ...
Creation, Compromise, and Contention
Any swimmer who has taken-on the beach knows that the visible waves aren't the most dangerous obstacles to his efforts. The greater danger lies in the undercurrents that can sweep the most avid swimmer to his death. So it is with the underlying belief system behind some Christian’s teachings on ...
Why Do I Write the Way I Do?
Why Do I Write the Way I Do? Having been involved in bivocational ministry for quite some time now, I’ve learned many things about both the need for outreach and the problems associated with it in the workplace. While many believers desire to be a witness in their daily environment, ...
Strait Talk on Abortion
StrongStrait Talk on Abortion I begin this piece by reminding my readers of what G. K. Chesterton said about the manipulative use of language. In discussing the creation/evolution controversy so prevalent even in his day, Chesterton demonstrated how the deceptive use of language could help slip an otherwise foolish idea ...
Religous by Birth
I was ready to argue against such an absurdity and the assumptions behind it when a brilliant idea hit me, and since I haven’t been hit with very many “brilliant” ideas as a writer, I decided to heed the rare occurrence. So, rather than crying over the moral "spilt milk" in our culture, why not just adopt the same assumption used by homosexual activists to manipulate their political and judiciary pawns.
Opinions are but Truths in Disguise
The disbelief that Absolute truth doesn't exist falls from the weight honest examination. Absolute truth doesn't exist, some tell us, and, frankly, they mean that "absolutely."
