Does the Punishment for Original Sin Fit the Crime?
Note: This post makes mention of Ravi Zacharias. It is with a heavy heart that I must acknowledge a tragic independent report concerning evidence of sexual abuse and predatory behavior on the part of Ravi Zacharias. This man was a huge inspiration to me, as is evident...
What On Earth Are You Doing For Heaven’s Sake?
One of the most devastating tragedies in the church today is this attitude we have taken towards Christian service. “If I don’t do it, somebody else will!” The problem being that “somebody else” ends up being either the pastor or one of very select few individuals in...
Should Christians Reject the Teachings of Joel Osteen?
It needs to be said up front that I write this article with no hostility or mean-spirited attitude. Actually, I write it with a broken heart. I have friends who are personal friends of the man in question, and I would never jeopardize that with any sort of ill-founded...

Is Faith in God Rational?
There exists a huge divide and disconnect inside of the greater Christian community today. Unfortunately, the philosophy of the world has begun to creep its way inside of the church over the last few centuries, leading many pastors and other church leaders to reject...
Mike Pence and Bill O’Reilly: The Difference of Carelessness in Positions of Influence
In recent days, Mike Pence and Bill O'Reilly--two figureheads in evangelicalism--have been given the limelight. Each, of course, for a completely different reason. In many ways, these individuals are completely unrelated, but in one very important way, there is a...
Does the Age of the Earth Matter, or is it a Secondary Doctrine?
All of my life, I have been in Independent Baptist Churches, Amen! One of the things we have always taken very seriously and very literally is the Genesis creation account. Growing up, I really didn't believe this to be a point of contention at all! Sure, I was just...
