  • Is a Gay Christian a Contradiction?

    Is a Gay Christian a Contradiction?

    Is a gay Christian a contradiction? Yes, but not for the reason you might think. I recently saw someone post this graphic on social media and want to examine the claim it makes. I am a Christian. I am very conservative. I believe living in homosexuality is sinful. Let me be very clear, I do…

  • Worldview War

    Worldview War

    It is Fig Monday, and Jesus is being tested. He started teaching and healing people in the temple. A group of Pharisees tried to question His authority. After they failed, they sent their students with the Herodians to entrap Jesus—to prove He was no real teacher. Instead, they departed marveling because of Jesus’s teaching. The…

  • Tobit- Moral Living in an Immoral or Amoral Society

    Tobit- Moral Living in an Immoral or Amoral Society

    Chapter 1 v. 10-22 Tobit continues to describe his own piety. According to the author’s quotation, here, Tobit kept the Jewish dietary laws and even buried his countrymen who were slain under Sennacherib. Here, we must remind ourselves that Tobit’s character is doing something that is dishonoring to God and something that Jesus exposed as…

  • Is Christian Morality Behind the Times?

    Is Christian Morality Behind the Times?

    In Luke’s gospel, we discovered that the goal of discipleship is repentance and that God calls His people into humility. Because Christ calls us into repentance, there are many people who simply won’t become genuine Christ followers. I hear things like, “I would have to give up too much to follow Christ,” “Religious rules are…

  • The Christian and the Outcast

    The Christian and the Outcast

    I was recently working a secular job where there was very little actual care for the customers. Every way in which the business was operated only served one purpose, to get customers to spend money and to illicit customers to continue to spend money. Virtually every practice in this retail chain was ingenue or dishonest.…

  • The Importance (Necessity) of Scripture

    The Importance (Necessity) of Scripture

    In the beginning, God created people in His image. This means that people inherently have a will. We desire to see things turn out a certain way or to happen a certain way. We were created in perfection, so we must believe that it is good for us to have a will. Since we are…

  • Election Means Change

    Election Means Change

    When I think upon the doctrine of election and God’s amazing grace, I think about all of those times in which God has had an attitude of long-suffering toward me (and I think He still does). He called me to conversion a few times before I willingly gave Him my life. Long-suffering. My plan was…

  • The Pilgrim’s Relevancy Book XIV: Too Many Christian Rules

    The Pilgrim’s Relevancy Book XIV: Too Many Christian Rules

    “Why do you attack the whole world?” someone came out of the school who was just as hot-headed as Encouragement was. The party looked at Encouragement. He almost started again, but noticed that Christian and Witness were both watching. They were watching with those eyes that silently begged him not to start again. He took…
