  • Death, O Where is Thy Sting?

    I had to help do a hard thing the other day. My foster-father passed away recently and I went with my foster-mother to pick up his cremains at the funeral home. It is always a difficult thing to do, not just because of the finality of it, but cremains are different from having a body…

  • Today’s Headlines

    So, I’m reading my Internet newspapers this morning and I just can’t help but think, “What a shallow, culturally bankrupt society we live in.” I know that sounds harsh, and perhaps I’m just in an irritable mood (which I am), but just look at what’s going on around us. Let me share some headlines From…

  • The Nashville Statement

    I ran across something called the “Nashville Statement” yesterday in my Facebook feed. It was posted by one of the many Christian blogs I follow so I checked it out. I was stunned to see that about 150 Christian leaders had developed a coherent statement on Biblical marriage, signing their names to it, and basically…

  • I got a little fired up today reading something on Facebook – imagine that! The blog Hello Christian reposted an article from the Huffington Post that basically said the “White Church” is the anti-Christ. Well, if there is such a thing as the “White Church,” I would agree that it is an anti-Christ, as would…

  • Divided We Fall

    I’m not a Calvinist, but the events in Charlottesville this past weekend proves at least to me that one of Calvin’s five points is correct: We are totally depraved. Let me say this from the outset – Christians, at least true Christians following Jesus Christ as His disciples, MUST condemn any act of hate no…

  • Impulse Control

    Before I get into the meat of this blog, let me say that this is intended just for believing Christians. If you are a seeker or non-believer, just move on because you are not held to the same standards by Jesus as we are. In fact, Paul clearly notes in 1 Corinthians 5:9-12 that Christians…

  • If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know that I spend way too much time on Facebook! For the most part, I find it mindless escapism and a fun way to keep up with friends. But like all social media these days, it also is a very negative place where people who apparently…

  • Inconsiderate People

    My home office window faces out to the street in front of our house. There’s a T intersection where a street meets the main road; the main road has no stop, but the intersecting street does. Every day I get to watch my knucklehead neighbors do their best not to run into each other because they…

  • Dear Ms. Griffin, First and foremost, know that I, like many of my Christian brothers and sisters, am praying for you. I understand you do not believe in God, but He believes in you! You may not want our prayers, but believe me, you need them. I get that you are a shock comedian. You’ve…

  • Guilt vs Regret

    I saw a meme on Facebook the other day that said something like “Have no regrets about your past; Embrace your today; and Look forward to your future.” I see a lot of sappy memes like this and a lot of them talk about letting go of regret. I’m going to throw you a curve…
