  • Another School Shooting: I think we’ve missed the mark

    Another School Shooting: I think we’ve missed the mark

    Yesterday there was yet another shooting in another school. Today there is yet another debate on gun control. The left wants more regulation and the right wants more freedom; whatever that means. If I thought for one second that public school violence could be solved with one debate over one issue, I may not be…

  • On The 2018 State of the Union Address

    On The 2018 State of the Union Address

    Before I address just a couple things that I noticed in President Trump’s Address Tuesday night, I need to make some presuppositional statements. First of all, Christ is neither a Republican or Democrat. He is concerned politically with His own reign and His kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36). Christ cares deeply about…

  • On The Pope’s Changing The ‘Lord’s Prayer’

    On The Pope’s Changing The ‘Lord’s Prayer’

    Just to do away with any misconceptions at the outset, Pope Francis has not yet officially stated that he desires to pursue changing the words in modern translations of the Bible to read differently. He has only stated in an interview that one statement in modern translations mischaracterizes God. You can read the short report…

  • What Net Neutrality?

    What Net Neutrality?

    Time to cancel your internet service! Just kidding. The decision by the FCC to repeal the codes established under the monicker, Net Neutrality, has sparked outrage by many regular internet users and by web-based companies nation-wide. I wanted to state my recent observations surrounding the controversial decision. My purpose is not to take a stance…

  • Responding to Moore and the SBC

    Responding to Moore and the SBC

    There are some things that are worth division. When the SBC took a stand for Biblical inerrancy, that was something worth taking a stand for and one of the reasons I choose to be Southern Baptist. When the SBC took a stand against racial or ethnic discrimination (and even publicly apologized for its past view…

  • Dear Church, we are partners, not competitors

    Dear Church, we are partners, not competitors

    What a beautiful thing it is when the people of God come together. There truly is only one Church and only one body of Christ. We can look around in our churches and in our communities; seeing others who have different hobbies, different priorities, different values, different colors of skin, different languages, different preferences regarding…

  • Dear Voters

    Dear Voters

    Dear friends, The election is now over and I am at a loss for many words. I am not at a loss because of any political party or because the candidate who won, won. I am not offended because ‘progress’ might be threatened, and I am not in distress because of some of the remarks of…

  • God’s Not Dead 2 and the rights of Public Schools

    God’s Not Dead 2 and the rights of Public Schools

    I recently read an article about how, in Portland, the school district banned a certain genre of music because it wanted to keep students from lyrics that contained religious teaching and lyrics that were violent. In response, I want to address the issue of religious teaching in our schools. I remember watching “God’s not dead 2”…

  • Shooting Law Enforcement Officers

    Shooting Law Enforcement Officers

    There was a time, when I lived in Wake Forest, NC and was visiting home that I got pulled over by a police officer. I was on an Oklahoma back road so that I could avoid the tolls, going through either Cyril or Apache. The speed limit was 25 miles an hour and I was…

  • Behold American Independence: Explained

    Behold American Independence: Explained

    When we decide to share thoughts, we seem to have two options. The first is uncreative and many times uninspiring. It is a simple relay of information from one person to another for informational purposes. The second is creative and hopes to inspire thought. It is an oration (or a potential oration) that people will…
