Posted on April 22, 2021 in Life, Money, Public Policy, Theology by

Many well-meaning Christian’s support raising the minimum wage, which could be disastrous. The recent COVID-19 Bill that was signed into

Would Jesus Join Looters in the Street?

If Jesus overturned tables one time, does it mean He would join looters in the street today? Our nation is

Are Christians Being Persecuted During the Coronavirus Lockdown?

Posted on May 20, 2020 in Public Policy, Religious Freedom, Theology by

It’s understandable that a robust discussion is taking place, after all, unlike a grocery store where you walk in, get your items and walk out without much personal interaction. Meeting as a church family has a higher degree of risk. The church sings together, sending breathe and saliva into the room. The church is prone to close contact such as handshakes and hugging, the same behavior that caused the virus to spread so rampantly in Italy.

A Cautionary Tale for Christian Investors

Posted on March 31, 2020 in Money, Theology by

The goal of these groups – aligning clients’ biblical values with investments that reflect those values – is commendable. And when clients genuinely seek to be a part of the BRI movement, it is truly a match made in heaven. There is an underlying message, however, being subtly sent out from many of the financial professionals involved in the BRI movement.

I Don’t Have a Context for a Christian Kanye West

Posted on December 19, 2019 in Theology by

From within the same mass of Christians are two distinct voices calling everyone that will listen to be excited for Kanye and resist skepticism. Both the nominal and the orthodox are saying the same thing. That, in itself is worth mention.

What I’ve come to realize as my issue is that I have no context for a Christian Kanye.

What’s So Good About “Good Friday”?

Posted on April 19, 2019 in Theology by

The streets must have been strange. The environment odd, as religious leaders walked with noses pointed into the air down the street as if to remind the people that radicals come and go, but they were there to stay. These arrogant hypocrites that knew the Scriptures better than most still had no idea what they’d done and what was coming. Judas knew. He realized quickly that he made a mistake. His sin was so heavy on his shoulders that he could only commit suicide. But the Pharisees were too proud, too arrogant, far too narcissistic for that. I can see them smiling smugly, proud of their accomplishment. All the while not knowing that while it was Friday…Sunday was coming.

Thinking Biblically About When to Baptize Children

Posted on December 12, 2018 in Theology by

In a country like the United States, where easy believe-ism has produced false converts and cultural Christianity that seems to identify more with the American flag and White House than with the Scriptures and church house, this view is understandable. It’s almost a necessary evil.

Are You Sure You Want Christians to “Be More Like Jesus”?

Posted on August 22, 2018 in Theology by

These are just a few instances where Jesus “judged” that people had committed sin and clearly called them to stop sinning. Was Jesus being a hypocrite for telling people not to judge and then judging people Himself? Of course not. In fact, Jesus was showing us exactly how to judge other people.

Christians Need to Think Differently About “Sexual Identity” and Equality

Posted on August 8, 2018 in Sexuality, Theology by

These are important words for Christians. Too often Christians sound like the culture around us when talking about our identity. As if we have any identity outside of Christ. We are not “American Christians,” or “African-American Christians.” Neither are we alcoholics, drug addicts, or homosexuals. We are simply Christians. To label ourselves with anything more than Christian is to hold up an idol before Christ and declare it our primary identity.

A Primer on God’s Justice and Mercy as It Relates to Predestination and Election

Posted on July 31, 2018 in Theology by

The president had no obligation to exercise mercy and pardon any of the prisoner’s. Their crime is clear, their guilt is sure, and their punishment is just. But the president chose, of his own free will, to pardon a few prisoner’s. Now, let’s answer two crucial question to help us understand how this relates to predestination and election.
