Unconditional Election

  • Faith

Total Depravity

  • Faith

I am going to try to go through the entire five points of Arminianism and Calvinism over the coming weeks. The Arminian points came first as a response by the followers of Jacob Arminius after his death to the current teaching of all known Protestant […]

Lame Ambassadors…

  • Faith

Some Things I Believe

  • Faith

Although no one has asked, I feel compelled (perhaps for my own benefit and reference) to write out some of the things I believe to be true.  Comments are welcome: I believe that I’m probably an evangelical by definition but I hope I never act […]

Updates on Two Critical Issues

  • Faith

There are two critical issues facing America that capture my attention and which I’m passionate about.  Both have had significant news and coverage lately so I figured I’d list some links below if you are interested about one or both of these issues. Education Reform […]

Catholics, Protestants, and Eternal Salvation

  • Faith

The debate on salvation and baptism between Catholics, mainline denominations, evangelicals of various stripes, and other Christian sects has always fascinated me.  Outside of some liberal mainline denominations, most Christian churches share two things in common: Jesus is the Messiah and the Scriptures mean what […]

  • Faith

A Day In The Life…

  • Faith

What a day. I started the day at the Capitol watching the Occupy Iowa, CCI, and Labor Unions obnoxiously protest during before and after the Governor’s Condition of the State Address.  It’s one thing to show up, have a rally in the rotunda, and be […]

January Antlerless Season in Iowa

  • Faith

I’m going to miss January Antlerless season in Iowa this year for the first time since it was instituted.  I’ll miss crunching on the snow (Maybe!  What a warm year!) and freezing my tail off hoping to get one more chance at filling the freezer […]
