House Divided
I’ll assume you had good intentions when you shared this doozy: “The true test of Christianity isn’t just loving Jesus…It’s loving Judas.” You were trying to say that Christianity teaches love for everyone, including our enemies. You should have just said that instead of trying to be profound. (John 14:23) Jesus replied, “If anyone loves […]
Another Dilemma Solved
I’ve got good news for anyone who thinks this meme is worthy of contemplation: You NEVER have to choose between being right and being kind! This quote pasted on a decades-old photo of Denzel Washington is nonsense. It is a false dichotomy that sets up kindness and ‘rightness’ as mutually exclusive. Intelligence is under attack […]
Folks, There Is Only One Nativity
Every year, around Christmas time, it has become necessary for me to remind some alleged Christians that The nativity is not just another story of an immigrant family. It’s quite popular among self-righteous, biblically illiterate Progressive Christians to portray Jesus’ earthly family as desperate souls, victimized by powerful forces. After establishing that Jesus was ‘an […]
Don’t Give Stupid Gifts
If your gal is asking for something stupid this season, like death to the patriarchy, consider giving her something useful instead: Wisdom. Tell her that the holiday season is a time to spread joy and goodwill, not bitter ugliness. Tell her that nobody wants to listen to her gripe. The only reason she’s even thinking […]
Season of Bitter Babblers
This season is filled with traditions. One of my favorites is watching people who hate God as they struggle to say something meaningful. While you can’t always have a white Christmas, you can count on the Humanists, Atheists, and Progressive Christians to provide a blizzard of babble. The God-Haters attempt to draw a distinction between […]
Never Stop Being Right
Because church people generally don’t read the Bible or use any critical thinking skills, the modern-day false teachers have successfully persuaded large numbers of Christians to give up being right. Thousands of alleged Christ-followers have been duped into believing that correct theology makes Jesus sad. “John, you jerk! We’re supposed to speak truth in love!!! […]
Influence of Underwear
The NBA has recently partnered with Kim Kardashian to promote her SKIMS brand of underwear. “I am incredibly proud of SKIMS partnership with the NBA, as it is a reflection of SKIMS growing influence on culture,” Kardashian said. “Together, SKIMS and the NBA will connect people of all backgrounds through fashion, sport, and talent, and […]
Trunk or Truth
Suggestion for next year’s church Trunk-Or-Treat that will be the talk of the town: Start by filling the parking lot with vehicles decorated by enthusiastic church folks, eager to interact with the public for the sake of leading families to Jesus. Each car should have a large supply of treats. Treats must be edible! No […]
Rapid Gospel
Here’s an example of why we should be careful about our literal interpretations of biblical words. God’s Word gives us the eyewitness account of history. He never lies (Titus 1:2) so we can trust his Word to give us the true history of earth, the universe, and the gospel. Mark 1:21 tells us, “And they […]
Don’t Forget The Lord
I woke up this morning because God saw fit to lend me consciousness for another day. I don’t have the strength, wisdom, or skill to rouse myself from sleep. All night long my lungs filled the blood in my veins with oxygen and my heart pumped that blood to every one of the trillions of […]
