Culture and Making America Christian Again
When I started writing my latest book in early 2022, I knew it would be about the Great Awakening happening all around us, and along the way it also became about the re-founding of America. I didn’t realize until a little later into the journey, specifically after I...
Nietzsche and Why It’s OK to Eat Your Neighbor
I bet you never thought cannibalism and Nietzsche would go together, but they do, quite nicely. I might never have put those two together, but I heard Gary DeMar discuss his book, Why It Might Be OK to Eat Your Neighbor, on his podcast. This subtitle gives us the...
The Importance of Both the Inner and Outer Body for the Christian
Since I got active on Twitter in early 2024, I often come across comments like this as people debate spirituality and physical fitness: From by what I can gathered and have observed by those who predominantly post about masculinity, not all but some, focus more on...

What is the Gospel? Find Out at “Saints and Sinners Unplugged”
All Evangelical Christians know what the gospel is, right? It's the good news (in Greek) that Jesus died for our sins. Unfortunately, most Christians see the gospel as the means of becoming a Christian, and then it's on to other things, like learning how to become a...
“Don’t Let Me Down” . . . . They Always Will!
One of the most important things we can teach our children is that people will always let us down. I've tried all their lives to teach mine to have realistic expectations about human nature, others and their own. This way when people inevitably do let us down, we are...
“I am the way, the truth, and the life . . . . ” Exclusive Claims are Not Unique to Jesus
These famous, infamous for some, words of Jesus are followed by a further claim that offends many: "No one comes to the Father except through me." This was just as offensive to people in the Jewish and Pagan environment of Jesus' day, as it is in the secular...

Ashley Madison: Men Acting Like (Sinful) Men
As shocking as it may seem, a website dedicated to helping people find extra-marital dalliances is used almost only by men! Who could have seen that coming. The tag line for the Ashley Madison website, much in the news this past week or so, is, "Life is Short. Have an...
What the Heck is Natural Law Anyway?
At the website of the Theopolis Institute a piece was recently posted by Mark Horne with the curious title, "If There is 'Natural Law' How Can People Believe in Same-Sex Marriage?" I say curious because I'm not sure why five lawyers in black robes declaring gender...
Yes, Atheists Can Be Fine Upstanding Citizens, and Here’s Why
I was looking for a quotation allegedly by G.K. Chesterton (I haven't been able to find where it came from) to the effect that when people don't believe in God it isn't that they believe nothing, but that they will believe anything. We can see throughout history where...

Historical Aberations – Secularism and the Berlin Wall, Part 2
As I stated in my last post, The Berlin Wall is a great metaphor for the current reigning worldview in the West, secularism. My thesis: Secularism is a deeply flawed and weak explanation for the nature of reality. Correctly understood, we don’t need to fear secularism...
Secularism – The Modern Berlin Wall, Part 1
On the evening the title of this post came to mind, I'd been interacting with a possible publisher for the book. They have a concern with what appears my excessive confidence that we, Christians, can keep our kids Christian. Having read just the first few chapters...
The More Secular a Society, The Fewer Children Will Be Born
When I was growing up in the 60s and 70s, the big concern and among fear-mongering apocalyptics was over-population. One best-seller at the time, published in 1968 by Stanford University Professor Paul Ehrlich, was subtly titled The Population Bomb. It predicted that...
