“Then the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman (Samson’s mother), and said to her, ‘Behold now, you are barren and have borne no children.’” (Judges 3:3a) And of course the story goes on from here, but I wanted to stop right there. Because right there in the verse and in the midst of […]

Interfaith, Paul, Peter and the President of the United States
April 30, 2013 by
I don’t see it. I don’t see it anywhere. I looked high and low (for “interfaith” in the New Testament). I looked this way and that. Oh, but I see persecution. Oh, but I see Christians hated and put out and rejected and turned upon and killed. And you know what it was for? It […]
Whose Choice – Ours or God’s?
April 26, 2013 by
The debate has raged and will continue to rage after we’ve all come and gone. The debate is over whether or not human beings really do have a free will and can make their own decisions freely in life and set their own destiny versus the other side of the coin – whether or not […]
How Can a God Who is Good Allow Evil to Exist?
April 24, 2013 by
How can a God who is good allow evil to exist? I want to begin to answer this question by emphasizing the fact that God is good and that God’s goodness is not open for debate. Some would say that since evil is allowed to exist, then that necessarily implies an evil God. But that […]

April 17, 2013 by
I just passed 150k followers on Twitter (click picture) and thought it would be a good time to offer a comment on Twitter followers, Facebook “likes,” how many “circles” you’re in on Google+, etc. The dirty little secret is numbers are so, so deceiving. As it has to do with Twitter, there are so many […]

Hated by All, Religious Extremists, Satan’s Part and God’s Plan
April 10, 2013 by
“‘[A]nd you will be hated by all because of My name.’” (Luke 21:17) It’s gonna get ugly. (It’s starting?) I mean, how does a United States Army Reserve training material presentation include a slide that has Catholicism and Evangelical Christianity under the classification of “Religious Extremism”?
