The tell-tale evil heart
I’m sure I’m not the only the one to see the irony. A Utah woman gets 30 years to life for killing her six newborns fresh out of the womb, when if she… Continue reading
Obstacles, objections, and obviousness
I’m on a mission…a mission from God. ‘Cause “I have seen the light!” Oh, Jake and Elwood. I hope Jake…John…is still doing backflips on account of he has literally seen THE Light, and… Continue reading
You’re free to practice your religion…as long as you don’t bring God into it.
That’s the message we Christians have been getting lately. Our First Amendment guarantee of “free exercise” is conditional on submission to government-sanctioned ideology…not God. If in obeying him we end up offending someone,… Continue reading
The scandalous cross
This was originally posted last April. It’s like wearing a tiny electric chair on a chain. That’s how a pastor at our church once described the offense of the cross of Jesus Christ.… Continue reading
Who do you say that I am?
Roughly 2,000 years ago a man lived who would change the times and the seasons. No ordinary man, to be sure. In fact, so extraordinary that his life intersects with each one of… Continue reading

No, I’m not aggrandizing. I’m all too aware of the meager mark I’m making on the world. But as my goal with this blog has always been primarily to help the nonbeliever… Continue reading

What’s a life worth? Does its value fluctuate according to age, occupation, or influence? Most newborns are highly valued by their parents, though they are totally helpless and needy. Many aged men and… Continue reading
I wanna’ be like you hoo hoo
Every once in a great while…well, perhaps a little more often than that…like, oh, I don’t know…say, about every day…I seize an opportunity to lift myself to a higher place of confidence and… Continue reading
Not the way it should be
I’m troubled. Often. Things are not the way they are supposed to be. And that’s making it hard for me to enjoy life. The murderous advances of ISIS and other terrorist groups… Continue reading
Perverting pleasure
I have a very strong, almost visceral opposition to something many Americans, I think, consider rather harmless. I see it as a scourge, a poison . . . anthrax for the soul and… Continue reading
Dead on
I just want to share a clip – it’s short – from one of our day’s great heroes of the Christian faith, Ravi Zacharias. He’s answering a question from an atheist. Don’t know… Continue reading
Confidence, courage, and convictions
Please consider something with me: Do you suppose that the stench that is ISIS, or Al-qaeda, or any Islamic terrorist group for that matter, would have had the same level of success… Continue reading
