By   |   02.06.16
Back in the old days — so I’m told — Christians used to compete with one another to see who could reject culture the most. Sometimes this was good and necessary. For example, whatever you think of the Temperance Movement...
So, You’re Done With Church?
By Rev. Thorin Anderson   |   02.02.16
I read the complaints and whining of Christians about their experiences with other Christians and  churches and, if it weren’t for the fact that I fall into the same discouragement about churches and Christians from time-to-time, I would scream out,...
Myth Busted: ‘Separation of Church and State’
By   |   02.01.16

Exposing Black Lives Matter — Part II
01.12.16
One of the dangers of BLM is that it pulls on the heartstrings of those who really care about life—both blacks and whites. Ironically, those who claim concern for black lives ignore the abortion of black babies and the killing of black boys by other black boys in gang violence. While focusing almost exclusively on race as the source of injustice and harm, BLM engage in the politics of racial grievance.
Every Muslim Will Bow Before Jesus

Still Work to be Done!
By David E. Smith   |   01.01.16
It is easy to become angry, disheartened, and perhaps even fearful about the cultural trajectory of our nation and the world. In light of the seismic upheavals in cultural norms, how much should we be concerned for the difficulties the...
Exposing Black Lives Matter
12.28.15
In my lifetime I have seen a number of organizations and movements pull at the heartstrings of the African American community. In 1995 it was the Million Man March calling on black men to atone for their failings. Today, it is the Black Lives Matter movement that draws our attention and concern.
Apologetics in the Family
12.26.15
There was a time in my life when I questioned everything. I questioned the existence of God. I questioned the reality of heaven and eternal life. I questioned what it meant to be saved. I had many, many questions. And my dad had to listen to each and every one of them.
Born in Bethlehem, Living in Our Hearts
12.19.15
Tyrants ancient and modern have tried to erase any sign of Jesus. It didn’t work then, and it won’t work now.
It’s a Wonderful Life and the Value of a Church

By   |   12.15.15
There’s an enormous misunderstanding regarding the U.S. Constitution as it relates to religion and it’s causing all sorts of trouble for folks that just want to pray. The misunderstanding is being intentionally propagated by an atheist group that wants to...
Relativity, Moral Relativism, and the Modern Age
By   |   12.12.15
