She complained about how frustrated she is with Christians who argue about being right about everything ( Politics, global warming, etc.).

Comparing the Satanic Temple to the new, Satanic Grotto. Evil upon evil.
The word "church" has become to generic to hold any value.
This morning I read an article from an Atheist in the journal Skeptical Science, one of the more fun (and sad) places I monitor. It was was entitled, “Why Is Christianity Collapsing in the US?” The author provided a brief, but very cogent assessment of present trends (Gallup poll) in the deterioration of our faith, […]

Examine your treatment of God in comparison to how you treat strangers. Add in your challenging family members and difficult fellow believers to see where everyone ranks in light of God's grace.
Why is the United States the economic powerhouse that fuels the world’s economy? Why is the dollar the international currency of exchange? Why do our politics, trade policies, military engagements, and even societal, moral, and culture icons take center stage? Why do thousands of people spend millions of dollars trying to become Americans, either […]

[…] anticipated birth of the promised Messiah. Most people had long forgotten or, at least, stopped looking, for this 750-year-old prophecy to be fulfilled. Bustling Bethlehem Like today, politics was on everyone’s mind with the declaration of a Roman census, which included paying yet more taxes (Luke 2:1–20). With a population estimated around 500, the […]
[…] is of value to you regarding your house or yard could be insignificant to the neighbor living right next door. Your thoughts on weightier issues like education, politics, God and worship could sound very different from even someone in your own church.

Where did the “Separation of Church and State originate? Much of the research for this article comes from Outrageous Truth by Robert Jeffress Introduction As Revisionists try to reframe history toward their own contemporary theology the true underpinnings of our country’s founding have become murky. This is particularly true within our public school systems. This article […]

Scripture Our verse for today comes from John 2:22, “Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.” Background In the Aegean Sea, a couple miles off the coast of Turkey, is a little island called […]
Do we draw or repel the lost and the seeker?
[…] that. Because we were all once lost and far from home before Jesus came into our hearts. May Jesus dwell in us. And may we not dwell in politics, or ways of this world. Jesus’ priorities must become our priorities if we want our actions to reflect Jesus in this sinful and dark world. Let’s pray: Our […]

[…] every pastor) can ensue. 12. Staff/Elders can get misdirected in what their responsibilities are to the flock (for whom they will be held accountable) by delving into politics, focusing too much on contemporary issues, and theologically toying with trendy morality rather than core Biblical teaching. In America, the trend over time has not been […]
As the trend continues, how will it end?
Why does Christian blowback exist? It’s simply because many people, even among the carnal-Christian community, consider Biblically-based morality to be hateful and prejudiced. Of course, the two most divisive points are right-to-life and opposition to gay marriage (and all its iterations). However, these two flashpoints only serve to magnify the underlying rationale for any points […]
And what should the Biblical Christian response be?
Right now, the conservative news cycle is briefly focused on Biden’s National Day of Prayer (NDP) proclamation. There are endless references to the fact that he left out the word “God” from his speech. When we use the word “god”, deeper question is, who are we really praying to as a nation? To me, what everyone […]
Our Personal Experience For a number of years, the Jehovah’s Witnesses would infrequently come up our long driveway to visit my wife (while I was at work). She was very kind and accommodating, talking at their car and eventually having them into the house for extended discussions (typically one would remain in the car and […]

Primary – Biblical principles, truth, and righteousness Secondary- everything else; for example, politics. If you can talk and resolve without a fight, do so. If not, and it’s secondary, just don’t talk about it.We get angry about the secondary […]
Scripture Our verse for today comes from John 1:44, “Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.” Background There once was a small port town that was relatively unknown. No major interstate brought travelers from afar, and few were the visitors who travelled more than a couple hours. But the area was […]

Peace in the midst of chaos through Jesus Christ.
As many Christians as there are in the country, there are as many different granular versions of their own personal theology. In my view, the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith are listed under the “Beliefs” section of this website.
