  • On Leaving the Ministry

    In 2007, the Francis A. Schaeffer Institute of Church Leadership Development (FASICLD)reported that “Of the one thousand fifty (1,050 or 100%) pastors we surveyed, every one of them had a close associate or seminary buddy who had left the ministry because of burnout, conflict in their church, or from a moral failure.”[1] I am currently…

  • On Insulting the Intelligence of Man…

    From the roaring comments of those like Richard Dawkins and the Neo Atheists[1] to the great dissatisfaction we find in our pulpits, it seems as though in today’s society, the intellectual elite constantly insults the intelligence of his fellow man. While those like Dawkins find it necessary to attack maliciously the well thought out beliefs…

  • It Seems To Me

After all, a tradition given to us by the philosophers of old, namely David Hume, suggests that things are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

    Recently, I wrote a briefly about a concern I had regarding a defense of the Second Amendment as a right to civilian ownership of firearms.[1] I received several messages and emails regarding conversation about the second amendment. What I did not receive, that I hoped to, were comments regarding matters of our Lord, Jesus Christ,…

  • Why do You Support the Second Amendment?

    After yet another horrible shooting, the Second Amendment is being attacked by the liberal community and there seems to be little or no reasoning on their part. I could bring up the fact that the shooter was not stopped until someone with a gun stopped him. This person was one of many police officers who…

  • Is Criticism a God Given Right?

    Because of a conversation I had recently with someone who felt it necessary to criticize my thoughts regarding a certain subject, I thought I would challenge not only Christians, but also non-Christians, concerning the act of criticism in western culture today. Do we have a right to criticize others and to what degree? What does…
