As I noted a few posts ago, my church is going through The Truth Project, a series from Focus on the Family that outlines a Christian worldview. I have enjoyed the series so far, and I think it is excellent. But I have a problem with the third lesson, which asks the question, “What is Man?” The lesson contains an excellent outline of the case of biblical anthropology against an anthropological theory that many would ...

I hadn’t intended to post on today’s topic, but a friend sent this and told me it was essential viewing: The Bible says this: Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. —1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 I do not despise prophecy by any means, but I do test prophecies against Scripture and by the Holy Spirit of God. So that is what I will do. God’s chosen people called for an earthly ...

Saturday a bit more than a week ago, I was out driving on the highway near my home when the Lord spoke this to my spirit: The just shall live by faith. It’s a sure word, so sure in fact that it’s said four times in the Scriptures: Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, and Hebrews 10:38. I believe God would have us remember this point! The just are those who have placed their faith ...

Believe it or not, this isn’t a political post. Despite what weather satellites may reveal, the United States, if viewed from space, has never more resembled a massive, angry red wound than it does now. And the salt? Try the Iraq war, terrorism, our status in the world, immigration, or the economic meltdown. For those reasons, people are losing their heads, Christians included, though not quite as thoroughly as in the French Revolution. Given the ...

{Somewhere in this rant is a worthy post. My apologies to readers in advance that the worthy post didn’t materialize.} In the course of reading a smattering of Christian blogs wrestling with the economic devastation laying waste to America, I happened across Al Mohler’s take on the subject. By the time I got done reading the last word, it was all I could do not to shake my head in disbelief. To understand the rest ...

If man and woman have sex and that union produces a baby, they’re responsible for their tryst and for the baby. If a man goes on the down low, picks up HIV, and infects his wife, he’s responsible for his action If a college student cheats on a test and gets expelled, she’s responsible for her action. If a guy decides to score some blow on a dimly lit corner and it stops his heart ...

On a recent car trip, my wife and I were telling our son what the world was like when we were his age. One immediate difference between 2008 and 1970 is that people worried about their reputations. Having a bad reputation ruined nearly everything in life and was one of the most difficult things to overcome. That worry about reputation kept people in line. Even more so, it kept companies in line. To have a ...

Every once in a while, I encounter a post brewing inside me that I find intimidating because it’s more than I can handle. I’m not as clever, intelligent, or compelling in myself to make the words inside come out as I’d like. This is one of those posts. So if you find this to be rambling or nonsensical, it’s all my fault, not the Lord’s. God’s been teaching me a very tough lesson in the ...
