My Endorsement For President

March 1, 2012 in Current Events with 19 Comments

I remember it well.  Every three years, my curiosity would begin to peak regarding who could be running for President of the United States the following year. I scanned the horizon of possible candidates, listened to all the talking heads & prognosticators on twenty-four hour cable news channels, and examined the voting records of potential candidates.  After all this work was done, I would make an educated endorsement for president. The process was quite entertaining, yet emotionally taxing at the same time. Continue Reading…

Are you aware of what is happening in the World these days?  No, I don’t mean the fear inspiring events that we continually hear about in the media and the conservative Christian blogosphere, rather I’m referring to something entirely different and much better.  I’m talking about the greatest foreign policy directive that has ever been conceived!

What The Rise Of Islam Can Teach Us About God’s Eternal Purpose

February 28, 2012 in Current Events with 0 Comments

Since 9/11 2001, Islam and the nature of Islamic ideology have been a ‘hot-button’ issue here in the West.  As a firm believer in the sovereignty of God, I am convinced that this is no accident.  God has a ‘one track’ mind, so to speak, and this issue plays right into that. Continue Reading…

The Universal Enslavement Of Women

September 30, 2011 in Book Reviews, Church life and Christian living, Current Events, What's With Paul & Women by Jon Zens with 130 Comments

Unfortunately almost every woman I have ever known either has been, or is currently, a slave.

I know that might be shocking or offensive to you, but please bear with me. No, I’m not talking about slavery to sin in the more general sense; I am talking about something much more specific. Continue Reading…

Why I Decided to Move To A New Nation

September 6, 2011 in Church life and Christian living, Current Events with 78 Comments

To My American Friends,

I wanted to take a few minutes to let you know that I have decided to move to a new nation. I know that this is shocking news, but I had good reason to make the move. Actually, I am writing this in order to persuade you to make the move as well. Let me explain…

Like many of you, I have always considered myself to be pretty patriotic. I have liked the United States, and I have enjoyed the benefits of living in the land of the free. I once assumed that the American nation was the closest thing to a ‘holy nation’ that this modern world had seen in the last couple of hundred years. I was told that this nation was founded by principled, spiritual men and women who intended this nation to be a ‘holy nation’. I was also told that, in recent times, the American nation had forgot our spiritual heritage and this is why America is ‘going to hell in a hand basket’, so to speak.

Like many of you, this greatly troubled me. What should the remedy be? Continue Reading…

Why Islam Is Superior To Christendom

March 14, 2011 in Current Events, God's Eternal Purpose with 44 Comments

Let me start off with some disclaimers. This article is speaking strictly about ideologies, and not people specifically. I will be speaking about Islamic ideology, and also about the system of Christendom. If you take personal offense regarding something that I have discussed here, please know that is not my intention. My intention is to bring some things to light that I feel is largely missing from our public discourse about these issues. Continue Reading…

The Riots In The Middle East, The Panic Of The Masses, And The Steadiness Of God’s Eternal Purpose.

February 2, 2011 in Current Events with 23 Comments

I must admit that the current events in the Middle East caught me off guard a bit.  I didn’t see the turmoil coming.  As I watched the news, I saw that the unthinkable was occurring before our very eyes.  Firmly entrenched governments are being uprooted.  My initial reaction was to look on in horror as radical Islamic groups with a detrimental agenda seem to be operating behind the scenes.
