The Bible
March 31, 2013 By 1 Comment
Easter Sunday will see the last installment of The Bible. While I have not seen all of the previous programs, I have seen bits and pieces, enough to realize that the series leaves some big holes in the Old Testament, takes some liberties with the stories, and is too Catholic for me. Nevertheless, I find [...]
The Greatest Generation
January 8, 2013 By Leave a Comment
When we think about the Greatest Generation, most of us think of WW2 battlefields and the sacrifice that the generation who grew up in the depression, served their country in Europe and the Pacific, gave their lives, and those who lived came home to build the greatest country the world has even seen. Fox News [...]

While purely symbolic, the start of a new year leads many people to consider some change in their lives.

New Year’s Resolutions are [...]

The Wife of Jesus
September 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment
A recent Boston Globe article reads: “Harvard professor identifies scrap of papyrus suggesting some early Christians believed Jesus was married.” And so it seems another old 4th century papyrus has created quite the stir in the news. While we are always seeking to support the Bible with new discoveries of ancient texts, finds like this [...]
Anemia in Fundamentalism
August 9, 2012 By 25 Comments
Fundamental Christian colleges are challenged with what seems to be an increasing trend in carnality and worldliness in the current generation. Historically the manifestations of carnality were revealed in superficial worldly conformity (immodesty, fleshly music, or careless social behavior). Such manifestations presented challenges, but the environment of many of the fundamental Christian colleges was relatively [...]
My Friend Needs Your Prayers
August 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment
The following was written in 2008, but is as true now, and perhaps more so, than then. (Editor’s Note) My Friend Needs Your Prayers Please pray for my friend; she is going through difficulties and somewhat of an identity crisis.

Our hearts go out to the families and friends of those murdered and injured in the shooting in Aurora, Colorado. We were all reminded of the similar shooting in Columbine.
