Stop it... just stop! What? Quit abusing Scripture to affirm your viewpoint and agenda - especially in the hot-button issue of immigration. I don't care if your view point may very well be the "moral one" - if you are abusing Scripture to prove it - I can't support you. Here in the US, we … Continue reading Immigrants, Immigration, and the Abuse of Scripture

Selective Outrage is ALWAYS Outrageous!
Have you ever stopped and noticed what really causes people to become outraged? I have posted previously on the subejct - particularly on things like #blacklivesmatter, where the message is ONLY certain colors of lives matter. But it would seem that the problem is only getting more dramatic. Now - many of the issues that … Continue reading Selective Outrage is ALWAYS Outrageous!
The Critical Question of Race
RACE - a term that teeters on the edge of being classified as a "four-letter word" in many circles. A term that really doesn't mean what it has been made out to mean. Just like so many other terms in human language (especially the English language) that have been adultuerated, redefined, and bent to fit … Continue reading The Critical Question of Race
Evangelical #Hypocricy (Who’s a Christian?)
We live in a time of people having greater concern for what is politically-correct than what is biblically correct. At the same time, many in what is labeled "Evangelicalism" (some bloggers are now using the term #BigEva (the evangelical business, as it has become), has been shouting that Donald Trump (@realDonaldTrump) is not worthy of … Continue reading Evangelical #Hypocricy (Who’s a Christian?)
A Blessing in Bass (a Review)
All-in-all, if you enjoy classic quartet singing and Southern Gospel music, you will truly be blessed by this CD. But... and this is a big one - if you are like me and a fan of hearing a bassist take the lead - then you will get a little piece of heaven in Send The Light, the first solo project from Brother Wade Lentz!
The Pilgrim’s Progress – Solid Rendering of this Allegorical Classic
Just got home from taking a group to see The Pilgrim's Progress, based on John Bunyan's classic book that he penned while in prison for his faith. I have been looking forward to seeing this film, but have been cautiously optimistic. Far too often when a film shows real promise, particularly when based on a … Continue reading The Pilgrim’s Progress – Solid Rendering of this Allegorical Classic
An Unplanned Review
With some anticipation, I went to see Unplanned, the real-life story of Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood clinic director. Going in, I entered a skeptic, as I generally do when a film is billed as a “Christian”, faith-based film, particularly from the Pure Flix label. As a staunchly pro-life Christian pastor, I enter such … Continue reading An Unplanned Review
Painful Side of Discernment Ministry (#ClaytonJennings):UPDATE
UPDATE: Clayton Jennings (or more likely a follower/paid hacker) has hacked the web site hosting the evidence in the latest situation - taking down just the pages with Clayton Jennings information. An additional link is provided below with an alternate page with the evidence - graphic warning still applies). Biblically, Christ-followers are called to exercise discernment, to warn of sin, and … Continue reading Painful Side of Discernment Ministry (#ClaytonJennings):UPDATE
Racism, Hate, and Counterproductive Acts
Media is aflame - from network news to social media, everyone is losing their minds over Jussie Smollett's accusations and now arrest. What we see is an example of hate, racism, and an unregenerate heart deliberately trying to further divide this nation, and it seriously pushes the envelope not just of the law, but truly … Continue reading Racism, Hate, and Counterproductive Acts
My Message to Russell Moore and the ERLC
For those that don't know, the ERLC is the social justice wing of the Southern Baptist Convention. Formed under the auspices of helping to promoted the gospel and its power to address social problems, it has become a mouthpiece not for the rank-and-file, Bible-believing Southern Baptist church member, but for the politically-motivated, doctrinally-liberal, Social Justice … Continue reading My Message to Russell Moore and the ERLC
