Why should I not date?
I want to take a moment and observe dating culture in the western world. Especially among younger people, worth is perceived in the context of relationships. People see themselves as having more worth when they are connected to either the right people or to more people. Dating the “right person” or dating anyone at... Continue Reading →
If Adam Had Perfect Reason, How Could He Choose Against God?
My thoughts, as of late, revolve around this question. We, as a western culture, place so much value on human reason and in the rational facilities of the educated.
