The old preacher once said, "I'm glad for the pie in sky when I die, but I'd like some steak on my plate while I wait!" Although this is a lighthearted remark, sadly, it is representative of the way a vast number of people understand classical Christianity. The idea...
The feeling is all too familiar for those who spend a considerable amount of time in witnessing, evangelism, and defense of Christianity. There are times when it seems the fruit is plenteous and abundant, and times when it seems our words are simply not connecting...
A recent news article highlights a seminar at George Washington University (GWU) on "combating 'Christian privilege' in America." It claims that "Christians get 'unmerited perks.'" The campus offers seminars on other "privileges" as well (such as heterosexual...
How do you love someone you're supposed to love, but don't really know how to love? I lost my father when I was 12 years old. We buried him, as I've written on before, on September 11, 2001--the day "we will never forget." As transparently as I know how to write these...
