We continue our exploration of Church Hurt in 2 Timothy at the beginning of Chapter 2. Paul encourages his disciple by staying committed to God’s work, by reminding him that God is in control, and once again telling Timothy that he is not alone in his struggle. At the...
Most of us know somebody who has stepped back, or entirely away from, their faith because they experienced hurt by the words or actions of someone in the church. Surprisingly, Paul’s second letter to Timothy shows us that this is not a contemporary issue, but one that...
In the fallout of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, what bothers me the most is not that evil intentions and actions have once again broken the heart of America. It’s the continued reporting of false narratives and lies that educates the majority of our citizens via...
Charlie Kirk’s arguments reflected a decrease in government influence over the people, thereby, less government dependence by the people. This is the source of many of the out-of-context quotes being used in calling him a racist. His arguments are in step with Black...
Another social reform policy that has negatively affected the people it was supposed to help is welfare policy. Welfare does a lot of good for a person who is momentarily struggling, and it does a lot of good for those who can’t provide for themselves, like the truly...
Charlie repeatedly stated that what a person does sexually is their own business, but that doesn’t require that he thinks it is morally correct. The Bible says not all will seek God, but many will turn away. Believers must understand that it is not our job to fix the...
We have come to a point in our short history where using terms like racist, misogynist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, and bigot to describe someone whom we disagree with has become our only defense. And let’s get real, the disagreements that people have with Charlie Kirk...
Thanks to social media and our corporately influenced news outlets, one of the most ridiculous claims about Charlie Kirk’s character is to call him a misogynist. According to Merriam-Webster, this is a person who hates or mistrusts women. What has caused this addition...
The United States has always been politically divided. The assassinations of presidents and members of congress go back to our earliest days, with 3 presidents killed between 1865 and 1901, and six attempts, 2 successful, on members of congress between 1905 and 1935....
Charlie Kirk, a man who was shot by a coward without the emotional intelligence to deal with the toxicity of an invading culture, has been mocked posthumously for a sentence he said in a discourse that included 545 words. Just before he made the statement that some...
Many of us have witnessed a miracle either in our own lives or in the life of another. It can be anything: a life-altering event that couldn’t have happened in the natural, or a coincidence that you were certain was not, or even the miracle of perfection in the tiny...
How imperfect are we? Most of us can easily see that we are not perfect when perfection is the absence of sin. We are sinners, and we know that. But the presence of sin in our fallen nature is part of our nature, therefore, it tends not to convict us of our...
The news of the pending vote for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act last week didn’t immediately earn my interest. I assumed, like many who are tired of the bi-partisan standoff in our government, federal and state, that the politicians loaded the bill...
An excerpt from Chris' book, Guided by Wisdom - Finding Wisdom for Life in God's Word Proverbs 8:35–36 35 For whoever finds me finds life,And obtains favor from the Lord;36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul;All those who hate me love death. Romans 6:23...
I’ve avoided writing about gay rights since I started my Christian blog. As I have spent time preparing my heart to write about the 2024 Olympic opening ceremony, I’ve realized I still will not be writing about gay rights. Why? Because what took place at the Olympics...
