Work for Better, Hope in the Best: What the Death of an Innocent Should Move us Toward
We will miss the point if we don’t think locally about this news story. In other words, consider whether or not you want this sort of thing to happen in your own town. Consider whether or not a 14 time offender, much of which was violent, would be allowed to roam free in your town…

We Knew They Hated Us…We Just Didn’t Know They Hated Us This Much
When I see people celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk, I understand that they would be this way about any outspoken Christian that met the same end. I also understand that, if they knew me, they would dance on my grave as well. And I think a lot of Christians are thinking about this as…

When Justice Tarries The Innocent Suffer
Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil. (Ecclesiastes 8:11 ESV) A few days ago a woman was riding a light rail in Charlotte, minding her business, and was stabbed to death. The man behind her had been arrested…

It’s Not Arrogant To Say What God Has Said…It’s Arrogant To Ignore It
It is often the case that Christians are labeled arrogant for believing and proclaiming that we are lost in sin and Jesus is our only hope of salvation (Acts 4:12). And it is also often the case that Christians are labeled arrogant for believing and proclaiming the morals found in Scripture, for being against things…

The Ten Commandments Fight Comes To Conway And I Have Something To Say
Our society let a bunch of pagans prance around and make up rules for a while. They did this without any foundation.

Protestants Didn’t Start Something New
Protestants weren’t trying to start something novel. A fair reading of church history proves that. They were trying to move toward greater faithfulness to the ancient faith. They believed themselves to be returning to ancient Christianity.

We Are Not Just What We Are Made Of

Good Citizens Should Be Concerned About Epstein And Obama
Two news stories of massive proportions are in the news simultaneously. And it’s almost jarring. The Epstein Files and the origins of Russiagate are both being heatedly discussed right now. People seem to be calling on Americans to focus on one or the other, but both are important. And from where I sit, both need…

Handcuffing People Is Not A Woman’s Work
Over the past few days a video has gone viral of a female police officer sobbing after being punched in the face by a man. It’s incredibly hard to watch. So, you have been warned. I feel bad for her. And I’m glad she’s okay. It could have gotten worse. But I want to use…

Why So Sullen In Success?
My wife informed me that Target had no LGBTQ stuff on display this year. And apparently they’re already celebrating the 4th of July. That news made me smile. Over the course of the last few years Roe v Wade has been overturned, sexually explicit books have been being taken out of schools, trans story hours…
