Christian Activation: Waking Up Christians to Their Transformational Calling
Almost every morning I pray for America with what I call the four Rs. All Christians regardless of what they believe about “end times,” want America rescued from its wicked Marxist enemies, and the only way that happens is with God, specifically God in the person of...
Genesis 49: Jacob’s Farewell Prophecy to His Sons and Christ’s Kingly Reign
The continuity of the Bible is mind blowing. Sixty-six different books written by 40 or so different authors over 1500 years in Hebrew and Greek, with a little Aramaic thrown in, and yet it is one consistent message. The entirety of redemptive history is found in...
Moralism and the Horrible Freeing Ubiquitousness of Sin
Sin is all pervasive, ubiquitous. Like oxygen, in a fallen world it is everywhere. In my first 5 plus years as a Christian I tried very hard to be more moral, to do what is right and be obedient to God, but I wasn’t very good at it. Thus, guilt was a constant...

Is Jesus (i.e., God) Dying for our Sins Strange?
Skeptics are fond of mocking the idea that Jesus Christ had to die for our sins to reconcile us to God. Why can't God, I've heard some of them say, and write, can't God just forgive us. It can't be that hard; we confess, he forgives, we're good, right? No, it doesn't...
Falling in Love with . . . . God
I often think of what a relationship with God means for me and those I love. I may be something of an aberration, but as far back as 12 or 13 years old I was wondering about my existence in this big vast universe and what it all means. Like many sinners (i.e., all...

In my previous two posts (one and two) I argued that how we understand our origins, where we come from and why we are here, have implications for life that are all encompassing. If we, as Scripture declares, are creatures made in God's image in God's world, then we...

Christians Are Coming Out of the Cultural Closet
With hit "faith-based" movies like War Room and Captive, there was much discussion about Christians and film making. Interestingly enough, some of the harshest critics of these movies are from Christians themselves who seem embarrassed by what I call the cheese factor...
Maybe Bowie is Looking Down from Heaven
Since Father Time took the great David Bowie, I have read numerous speculations about what might have been the state of his soul. Bowie, the consummate showman and actor, was a very private man, refreshing in the age of instant everything. So there isn't a lot to go...
Revisiting ‘Faithful Presence’: ‘To Change the World,’ Five Years Later
I read James Davison Hunter's "To Change The World" several years ago and thought it was a brilliant analysis of the power of cultural institutions to shape the culture. His strategy for cultural engagement, though, left me puzzled at the time. He called it "faithful...
