What Robinson Crusoe Teaches Us About Adversity 8:49

6d ago8:49

8:49

Adversity is a fact of life. Everyone at every level of society experiences adversity, and indeed, if they have not, they just haven't lived long enough. The fictional Robinson Crusoe, a character and story developed by Daniel Defoe and published in 1719 tells his shipwrecked alone on a deserted island for many years and how Crusoe moved from cursi…

Are Nation States Legitimate? 10:00

13d ago10:00

10:00

Ever wonder why we have nation states in the world, and are they legitimate? Why do nations even bother to maintain borders? Scripture repeatedly references nations. The English word is translated from Hebrew or Greek, meaning people groups who might speak the same language, follow the same religion, or live in the same area, a somewhat broader def…

Are We Happy When Our Enemies Die? 9:51

20d ago9:51

9:51

The Scripture tells us to love and pray for our enemies. Needless to say, humanly speaking, this is difficult to do, particularly for believers involved in war like what's happening in the Middle East. But even without this kind of violence, most would admit that loving or praying for people we do not like and who we consider opposed to us in some …

Revisiting The Death of Discussion 9:57

27d ago9:57

9:57

Here I am revisiting a topic from two years ago--actually longer than that, for I did a podcast on this subject in 2022, wrote about it back in 2016. It's still a threat to what's best and good about America. American culture has lost its ability to discuss, much less disagree or debate. I call it the death of discussion because social trends have …

The Decline of Western Civilization 9:57

1M ago9:57

9:57

Prominent scholars, among them the late Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer, have been saying for some time that Western Civilization is foundering. Its foundation is cracking and it may be in decline. An inexorable decline? Only God knows. But there is much evidence to suggest this thesis is coming to pass. Western Civilization has rejected its Judeo-Christi…

10/7 Hamas Massacre One Year Later 9:36

1M ago9:36

9:36

It's been one year since Hamas invaded Israel in a surprise attack resulting in about 1200 dead, 250 or more hostages, and a record of soulless brutality that ranks it among the worst incidents of man's inhumanity to man. War in the Middle East, particularly Gaza, West Bank, and Lebanon has been the result as Israel defends itself, all while coming…

Should Pete Rose Be Inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame? 9:45

2M ago9:45

9:45

Pete Rose died this week at 83. By any measure, he was one of the greatest baseball players we've been privileged to watch. But he is not in the MLB Hall of Fame. Why, because he gambled on his own team's games and was declared permanently ineligible to participate in professional baseball, and later, to be considered for election to the Hall of Fa…

How to Pray in Times of War 9:48

2M ago9:48

9:48

Sadly, war is a fact of life in a fallen world. It is horrible, "hell" General William T Sherman called it. So how do we pray in times of war? Do we pray for an immediate ceasefire? Do we pray for "our side" but not the enemy? Do we pray for everyone affected or just our friends? What does the Bible say about prayer and war or violent conflict? Wel…

"You're Perfect Just the Way You Are," But Are We? 9:39

2M ago9:39

9:39

Current culture and pop theology repeatedly tell us, "You're perfect just the way you are." But are we? Are we happier, less anxious, or medicated? Why is it that mental health problems are being described in crisis terms, yet we have more therapy available than ever before? Why if we have more things, more toys, more financial wherewithal, we're l…

What Does the Bible Say About Guns? 9:33

2M ago9:33

9:33

Guns are a major current controversy that repeats with every mass shooting or shooting at a notable person like the former president, Donald J. Trump. As Christians, we are called upon to apply God's Word, will, and moral instruction to our lives and the world in which we live. So what does the Bible say about Guns? Is it immoral to purchase or own…

Spiritual Awakening in the American University 9:29

Year 2023 saw several unplanned, unsponsored revivals or religious awakenings take place on American public university and private college campuses. Beginning year 2024 academic term a similar experience has occurred at Ohio State University. Is this the precursor to more such events during this academic year?

Love Your Neighbor--Immigrants Too? 10:00

3M ago10:00

10:00

Scripture commands us to love our neighbors as ourselves, but does this include immigrants? Does it include illegal or unauthorized immigrants? Immigration can be considered on many levels, but here we examine the idea of "Love your neighbor" on both a personal or individual level and a political or national level. Certainly, no matter how immigran…

Review of "Shepherds For Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda" by Megan Basham 9:50

3M ago9:50

9:50

Megan Basham's book published 2024, asks the question: “Why have so many well-known evangelical institutions and leaders in recent years started promoting causes that no plain reading of Scripture would demand, like lobbying for fossil fuel regulations or dismantling white privilege, while issues that unequivocally call for Christian charity find t…

Truth Matters 9:48

3M ago9:48

9:48

Truth is disappearing in Western culture; in America too. If we do not believe in truth, real, objective, facts-whether-we-like-them-or-believe-them truth, then the edifice of our civilization crumbles. Our culture crumbles, then our nation inevitably will crumble. This sounds melodramatic and hyperbolic, but it is historically demonstrable. No tru…

Going for the Gold--Golden Wedding Anniversary 9:38

3M ago9:38

9:38

Golden Wedding Anniversaries, 50 years, are not for the faint of heart. You get married, you make a commitment, you go off with your spouse, and there is no return policy. Fifty Years is a long but short time. With a thousand other voices, I can say it's amazing how fast time flies. God is good, and this is captured in Sarah's and my family verse, …

Christian Worldview, Race, American Presidential Politics 9:29

9:29

With Vice President Kamala Harris's entrance into the 2024 American Presidential election as the presumptive nominee of the Democrat Party, and with former president Donald J. Trump's comments about her heritage, race is now an issue in the campaign. It's a good time to think about race and racism from a specifically Christian point of view. What d…

Since the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony July 26 social media has been on fire with people expressing their disgust or their support for what appeared to be a representation of Leonardo da Vinci's painting, The Last Supper, featuring drag queens, a large woman as Jesus, and a young child.

Losing A Lifelong Friend 9:11

4M ago9:11

9:11

Losing a friend is never easy or pleasant. While God told us we need not fear death, he did not say we had to like it. Indeed, God called death the enemy. It is a separation, but we know from Scripture that for those who are "saints" = those who trust the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, when they die, they are absent from the body, present with the Lo…

Western Nations and Mass Immigration 9:27

9:27

In the past decade, Western European nations and more recently during the Biden Administration in the U.S., the West has opened its borders to a literal flood of aliens or immigrants or migrants or refugees, or in the case of the US illegals, or undocumented or "newcomers," whatever the politically correct phrase. The logic used by political elites…

American Presidential Politics and the Providence of God 9:44

4M ago9:44

9:44

Since former President Donald J. Trump was shot and injured Saturday, July 13, many people have observed two things: 1) there must be a "dialing back" of the vitriolic rhetoric that has come to characterize this campaign, and 2) the providence of God spared Mr. Trump's life because God is not finished with him and he is slated to help lead America …

Biology Is Divine Design II 9:42

4M ago9:42

9:42

The transgender juggernaut taking American culture by storm is not just about sex but about identity. It is about choosing to be God so one can determine one's own sex. It is idolatry. Transgender activists know this philosophy cannot coexist with biblical Christianity, so it is on collision course with traditional Judeo-Christian values. Such diam…

Biology Is Divine Design 9:41

Since Bruce Jenner said, "Call me, Caitlyn," transgenderism has taken American culture by storm. No part of society has remained untouched, and the same can be said for almost all extended families. But gender dysphoria is one thing, people struggling with emotional and mental issues, while transgender ideology and activism are another, the latter …

Living in a Post-Truth Culture 9:38

5M ago9:38

9:38

Modernity is now overlapped by Postmodernity. Where once people believed in objective truth and reason, now they believe in subjectivism and feelings. Many, especially the young, no longer believe truth is possible. They speak of "My truth" and "Your truth" as if reality plays favorites or facts are optional. This fundamental shift has produced a P…

Bible Version Journey 9:23

5M ago9:23

9:23

Using different versions of the Bible throughout your life is probably a common occurrence for anyone who seeks to live an active Christian life. For me, it was the KJV - isn't that true of everyone over, say, 50? Then on to the NIV for about 30 years, and recently a shift to ESV. What matters is that the version you choose is accurate and faithful…

Fatherhood in America 9:56

5M ago9:56

9:56

Fatherless homes have increased significantly since 1960, so much so that the experience of children growing up in the average American household today is dramatically different from the one experienced by people born before 1970. Does this matter? Yes, it does. Turns out God knew what he was doing when he designed the family unit as mother and fat…

Losing Freedoms 9:36

Americans, as citizens in nearly all Western countries, are losing individual and personal freedoms to over-reaching governments populated by elected officials and bureaucrats who are more interested in expanding their power than doing what is best for the citizenry longterm. Mostly this inclination comes from the Left or so-called "progressives," …

American Institutions Committing Suicide 9:39

9:39

American institutions are in a self-generated decline, largely due to officials' buy-in to values that are contradictory to and undermining of the traditional ideals that made the American experiment possible and flourishing in the first place. They reject equality before the law in favor of something called equity, reject meritocracy in favor of D…

Thinking About the Complexities of the Israel/Hamas Conflict 9:57

Israel/Hamas have been involved in mortal combat since just after the surprise Hamas terrorist attack Oct 7, 2023 upon innocent Israelis across the border from Gaza. It's a tragic experience no matter how it is parsed, but it's been interesting to note how some Christian leaders lean heavily one way or another, which in itself is understandable and…

Two Kinds of People in the World 9:48

6M ago9:48

9:48

There are manifold ways to think about kinds of people in the world, but one way right out of Scripture is to think about "Sinners in Need of Grace" and "Sinners Saved by Grace." Either a person has asked Jesus Christ to forgive their sins and by grace through faith (Eph 2:8-9) become a Christian, i.e., a sinner saved by grace, or they have not and…

These generously labeled "protests" predictably evolv…

Why has American culture changed so dramatically in the past 25 years? Was there a tipping point that triggered significant cultural change, and if not, what contributed to the shifts in values and behaviors we're now seeing in the streets, on campuses, even in the halls of Congress? In what way does American culture's view of truth, or the lack th…

Year 2024 is a presidential election year, so once again Americans are following the statements and antics of leading candidates from the Democrat - in this case the incumbent President Joe Biden - and from the Republican - former president Donald Trump.

MIsgendering, i.e., using a person's given name -- something called Deadnaming -- rather than the name they've chosen to match their perceived gender identity, or not using the person's Preferred Pronouns they say match their gender identity, is now a controversy in the U.S. Christians struggle with this challenge - do they refuse to use a transiti…

"The Chosen" is a multi-season television drama about the life of Jesus Christ and his disciples.

Civil liberties are the "unalienable rights" of the Declaration of Independence, life, liberty, and in Thomas Jefferson's words, pursuit of happiness. Civil liberties are human or natural rights, our human birthright from God as designated in nature. Civil liberties list what government cannot take away. Civil rights are additional, expanded protec…

Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it,” is a principle that until recently I thought applied solely to the development of good Christian attitudes and behavior. Then it occurred to me that this principle works whether one is teaching a child worthy or unworthy values and ways of mov…

Satan's Next Frontier 9:06

It seems that each time a moral standard is displaced, the social process refocuses upon another traditional moral standard that the Left argues is somehow a great restriction and oppression upon personal liberty. Gambling, a longtime social evil, fell in the 90s and early 2010s, same-sex marriage was legally embraced in 2015, then transgenderism t…

Climate Change is no longer simply about concern for the environment.

Digital Identification is now a commonplace of postmodern life.

Aging Biblically 9:30

Age comes to us all, great and small, rich and poor, no matter our demographics. In fact, the only alternative is death. So aging doesn't seem so bad by comparison to most of us.
