Six-Day Creation and the Path to Liberalism
Last week I responded to theologian Gavin Ortland’s tweet, where he was defending himself against the charge of going liberal. I pointed out, in my retweet, that the slope starts when you reject six day creation (which Gavin does). “Not believing in a literal 6-day creation is the first stage in going liberal, and yes […]
Hot Takes and American Baptist Theology Turned Secularized?
I grew up in the Presbyterian church but surrounded by southern evangelicals. The largest denomination in America is the SBC with about 16 million members and four out of the top ten largest denominations are Baptist (https://christianityfaq.com/largest-christian-denominations-america/). The Assembly of God is in that top five also and if you add up those who identify […]
The First Crime Scene
We are now two years out from 2020, and the lingering tyranny is not going away. This is not a logical tyranny, but- is tyranny ever logical? They are forcing vaccination to stop transmission, but that vaccine does not stop…transmission. This is what you can expect from a President who thinks a man can be […]
The Covid Crackdown: Are You Reinforcement, or a Refugee?
Those of you who are awake have probably realized by now that we are living in politically tumultuous times. Particularly if you live in coastal leftist states or Canada. The San Diego School district has already declared that students will be required to masks when school starts up again, or they can of course choose […]
Why Conservatives are Losing the Culture War
Like me, I am sure you have watched in awe for decades as conservative politicians get elected in office as a conservative and then govern and legislate as a squishy moderate conservative or even some sort of moderate democrat. It’s a spectrum. Like Facebook’s gender selections. Currently, there are four Republican governors who say they […]
Reclaiming Conservatism in Media w/ Cade Foehner
Americans, we love our news. We love consuming media. From TV to radio, to podcasting, to social media, we consume media like a chubby fat kid at a Golden Corral Buffet shoving hotdogs into the middle of an old-fashioned American apple pie. We call this “have it your way” media. You are probably watching this […]
Modern Conservatism is Built on Sand
With SCOTUS overturning Roe, the division between right and left citizens, and red and blue states, is only going to harden and further divide this nation. How could it not? One side believes baby killing is a moral good, that it is the great equalizer between man and women, that it is freeing women. The […]
Massie, DiVos, and Fixing Education
So public education has a new queen.? Trump?s new Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos, has created quite the stir.? In addition Congressman Thomas Massie has proposed to eliminate the Department of Education.? All in the same week.? The only way to digest all this, is with some 21 year Balvenie.? Given the nature of these events, […]
Victim Jesus
I write this for several reasons.? First my church is dealing with a controversy surrounding sins that arose in our church dating back to 2002 and 2005.? Secondly, because of the nature of this controversy, there have been number of victims in our church, including friends very close to me and my wife, who are […]
