Just Stop Being Depressed
This was a thing that an atheist said: This is similar advice to what you hear from someone with a plastic bag tied over his head… “I saw another guy with a plastic bag tied around his head on a Christian page grieving over his struggles to breathe. My take is that if you’re worried […]
Christians Learned This From Pagans
I’m frequently told that doing good things while expecting some kind of reward is actually a bad thing. The proper motivation (I’m told) for moral behavior is moral behavior. Just do the right thing because it is the right thing and if you do the right thing because it benefits you…then you did the wrong […]
The 10 Commandments Don’t Save Anyone
Louisiana has passed a law requiring all public school classrooms to display the 10 commandments! Brothers and sisters, please, I’m begging you, stop cheering! There are many reasons to calm down but I’ll offer just a few in an effort to give some perspective. First, the pagans are already asking if classrooms must also display […]
Before You Drive A Stake Into Someone’s Skull
Yay! Rah! Girl-Power!! Am I right, Christian ladies? The people who hate God are telling you that the women in the Bible were strong, feisty, warriors who could birth a baby, herd some sheep, kill a General, and preach a sermon all before Noon. Take Deborah, for instance. The folks who mock the scripture taught […]

Secular Alternative to Secular Education
Once upon a time there was a dairy farmer who provided milk to everyone in his village, free of charge. It didn’t matter a person’s ethnicity, religious beliefs, social status, or political views; milk was made available to everyone. One day, a handful of villagers held a convention they called, “Lactose Unleashed.” It was billed […]
Podcast With Diotrophes
There are some really difficult teachings in the Bible but none are harder than this: (2 John 9) “Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does […]
What’s Your Problem With Cults?
Some atheist described Christianity as a death cult. The god-haters do stuff like this because they are joyless, empty souls who only want to drag other people into their misery. By God’s grace, I am immune to their toxic rhetoric and occasionally I engage these creatures in conversation because bringing light into darkness fills my […]
Blame the Patient
Suppose you fell out of the bleachers at a sports arena, landed on the dirt track and were run over by a monster truck (it could happen). Thankfully, you survived and were told that after a few weeks of physical therapy, you would not only recover but be in better shape than before the accident. […]
Graduate Doesn’t Know What ‘Banned’ Means.
If you’re still undecided about the effectiveness of secular education, look no further than the Idaho Fine Arts Academy which recently graduated a student who doesn’t understand the definition of the word ‘banned,’ demonstrating her mastery of the core principle of secularism. During the graduation ceremony, as she was receiving her diploma, the student tried […]
