  • 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…

  • Where science encroaches, God is driven away.

                We hear this statement on a daily basis, though perhaps not in so many words. My question, though, is not whether or not science and Christianity contradict one another. My question is whether or not this scientific stance against religion is a relatively new stance for people to take. For…

  • Rational and Irrational (thinking atheist?)

    If there ever was a point at which nothing existed, then there is nothing to truly learn and education is irrelevant. This is why all intellectuals must believe in some sort of eternity; else they are living contradictions. A vast intellectual community in these modern times seems to hold fast to the idea that nothing…

  • Are You a Steve?

    Today before church, my wife and I went to Bojangles to have some supper with some friends. While we were eating, someone sitting at the table adjacent to us turned and asked us a question concerning the gospel of Christ.

The statement is used to defend our acceptance of this world’s culture. It argues that the best…

  • Flood

    This week at camp, we talked each evening about part of what it means to trust God. We talked about having courage and we talked about God’s healing power. We likened the relationship with God we sometimes settle with to a bird bath when God desires an ocean for us. Tonight, as we have come…

  • Should Christians get involved in drama?

    Everywhere we look, others are living out personal dramas that envelop them in cocoon of emotion. The drama in others’ lives seems so prevalent that, at times, it almost defines who they are and they seem to judge us according to how we interact with the events contained within that personal drama. No matter how…

  • Waiting on God can be difficult. Here’s some encouragement.

    Do you not know? Have you not heard? Yahweh is the everlasting God, the Creator of the whole earth. He never grows faint or weary; there is no limit to His understanding. He gives strength to the weary and strengthens the powerless. Youths may faint and grow weary, and young men stumble and fall, but…
