In Everything Give Thanks (Article + Podcast)

November 28, 2021

In everything, give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thessalonians 5:18). At first glance, it’s tempting to write this Scripture off as being a little over the top. Sure, we should be thankful. And yes! We should thank God for the good things. But what about the bad stuff? How are we supposed to give thanks for those things? So, full disclaimer, I don’t have the perfect answer to that question. I mean, I know the right theological things to say. And I realize that God’s ways are higher than our ways.…

Completed (A Poem)

November 23, 2021

God knew that Adam couldn’t do it alone So He created woman, bone of his bone Once depleted, man now completed by Eve Complementing, persuasive, persistent is she Her powers unique, and different than his In man’s weakness, she enhances his strengths Disparate, distinct in every way, yet linked Independent, yet dependent, fulfilling needs Joined as one flesh, the two becoming as one Now they are joined, under God’s holy Son This poem was written for my lovely wife, Taylor, whom I affectionately call JJ.

The Beginning of the World (Creation vs. Evolution, Good vs. Evil, Light vs. Darkness, Oneness vs. Trinitarianism) with Steven Waldron

November 20, 2021

Over the years, I find myself drawn more and more to the book of Genesis in prayer and study. It’s possibly the most attacked book in the Bible by liberal scholars, pseudo-scientists, and a litany of other detractors. The enemy knows if he can cast doubt on one book of the Bible, the others fall too. And because Genesis lays the foundation for the other sixty-five books, its validity is critical. Unfortunately, many well-meaning Christians have unnecessarily caved to societal pressures and contorted doctrinal positions into impossible knots. They’ve redefined, parsed, injected, and superimposed non-literal meanings into Genesis, leaving a…

Should Christians Drink Alcohol?

November 4, 2021

Generally, it seems Bible-affirming Christians agree that drinking to the point of drunkenness is sinful. However, total abstinence of alcoholic beverages is viewed by the majority of the “Christian” world as puritanical and antiquated. There’s lots of talk about moderation and Christian liberty combined with distortions and contortions of biblical passages cited by the moderate drinking crowd. Others, like myself, are firmly planted on the side of complete alcoholic self-denial. The Three Paths to Alcoholic Abstinence There are essentially three paths leading to complete alcoholic abstinence. Path one, personal experiences, history, hurt, conflict, danger, abuse, and heartache associated with drinking…
