The Salvation Army On Abortion *Updated*

  • Faith

The Salvation Army’s position on abortion is horribly weak.  They begin by stating that life begins at “fertilization,” it is a “gift from God,” and that “All people – without exception – are of value to him…” They finish their statement with a great statement […]

Haters Gonna Hate

  • Faith

My son informed me that a child at school hears stories at home from their parent(s) about how I’m a compromiser, I’m weak, and that I’m not good at my job. This child, according to Kyle, doesn’t quite know what to think about all that. […]

How Then Should We Advocate?

  • Faith

The 2012 Election is behind us.  Now the question remains:  whether as an active citizen or a professional activist, how then should we advocate for the things we care about after any election result?  I’ve written about much of this before but wanted to get some additional […]

The Path Of The Fatherless

  • Faith

(This post has been adapted from a former iteration of this website and various other websites that reposted it in March of 2010.  Posted here in October of 2012 and edited June 27, 2013) I grew up fatherless. I saw my dad a few times […]

Those Beautifully Horrible Moments in Life

  • Faith

I’ve had, like most everyone, less than ideal moments that elicit gratefulness later in life. I call them “those beautifully horrible moments in life.”  I faced childhood challenges largely alone, moved out of my mother’s home when I was 14, moved away from friends time […]

An Open Blog Post To Republicans From An Average Guy

  • Faith

Everyone knows the Republican Party is in the midst of a Civil War. On one side you have those who would go the same direction the rest of the world is going, but in a much more “pragmatic” and “realistic” way.  They figured out most […]

Perseverance Of The Saints

  • Faith

This is my last post on the individual doctrines of T.U.L.I.P. (Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints).  I believe the doctrine of “eternal security” or “perseverance of the saints is – more than any of the others – […]

Why Politics And History Do Not Mix

  • Faith

“Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares.  She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words:  “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?  For scorners delight in their […]

Irresistible or Efficacious Grace

  • Faith

If you look at the “five points” of Calvinism as a timeline or storyline of how salvation works, then I believe they are easier to understand and appreciate than if you look at them in a disjointed or segregated way.  Consider that “Total Depravity” describes […]

Limited Atonement

  • Faith

Introduction Many I speak to on these subjects agree that we are totally depraved, that God elects sinners for salvation, and that He is the Good Shepherd who will finish the work he began in us. We are, therefore, relatively “reformed” in our theology together…which […]
