"The unfolding of Your words gives light."
Michael Minkoff Jr. recently wrote a post entitled Three Keys to Success that Oppose Faith, Hope, and Love. In it he contrasted the world’s “keys to success” with the Christian’s. The article was excellent, but there was one point I wanted to expand on: his discussion of love, fear, and self-preservation.
This was a very insightful article about the dangers of elevating reason to the exclusion of feelings. I’m by no means an anti-rationalist, but Minkoff is spot-on that Christianity is for the complete person: heart, mind, and soul. Some of us are by nature more intellectual, some are more emotional, but we all ought to…
In this sense, the creation order tells us something important about women. As God’s work of creation progresses through the creation week, it does so with ever-ascending glory. When man is created, He is almost done, but not quite. The capstone still must be placed. The crown must still be set. The final glory touch,…
Yesterday the Supreme Court handed down its decision on gay marriage, ruling 5-4 to change the meaning of marriage for all Americans. Of course, this is a legal fiction. The Supreme Court doesn’t “define” marriage; God did, when He created mankind: [Jesus] answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them…
A friend on Facebook posted the following to start a discussion: I’ve been thinking a lot about the discussion with “Kent Hovind”, and his comments regarding sin in the life if the believer, and how that a ” Christian” may live in all forms of sinfulness, and still be fully assured of salvation. Does anyone have…
In recent days and weeks, the moral revolution has found itself a new hero to give transgenderism a face. Bruce “Caitlyn” Jenner, a former Olympic gold medalist and reality TV star, underwent a sex-change operation to become a woman. The mainstream media cannot say enough about Jenner’s “bravery” in undergoing the transformation. He was even…
I heard a lot of dragged-from-the-brink-of-hell testimonies growing up. You know the kind – forty minutes of money, drugs, and sex, about five minutes of “Hallelujah, Christ saved me,” and then an altar call to the tune of something sentimental like “Just As I Am.” My own story isn’t that glamorous. My sins weren’t particularly…
After much anticipation (and too many teasers), my friend Matt has finally released a response to my recent post In Defense of Fireproof. As expected, I find myself agreeing with many of the principles he defends.
Recently a friend and I have been going back and forth on the merits of Fireproof (the movie). Much of the discussion revolved around a review of the movie written by Dalrock, an anti-feminist blogger. Both Dalrock and my friend take a very strong stance on the negative effects of feminism and egalitarianism on the…
