“Forgive me God, this act will be inglorious.” So reads the second to last journal entry that Audrey Hale wrote just hours before she blasted through the doors of The Covenant School on March 27, 2023. Proceeding down the halls of the private Christian academy in Nashville, Audrey first killed the school custodian, Mike Hill. […]

Like many others, I forgot that the Olympic Games were scheduled to begin in Paris on July 26. With an attempted assassination of the presumed next American president, an internal coup committed against the current one, and a litany of side stories and events, watching people far fitter than me cycle, swim, and sprint was […]

“Welcome the sojourner.” “Love the stranger, for you were strangers in Egypt.” “Love your neighbor.” “Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren you did it to me.” For decades, these Bible verses (or slightly modified versions) have been thrown into the face of even the […]

Yesterday, all across the US, churches were filled with dozens, hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of the faithful to pray, worship, and hear the Word of God proclaimed from the pulpit. Like the Sundays after the JFK assassination, 9/11, and many throughout 2020, the congregants were of “one mind” in that they were mostly […]

South Korea has once again set a record for the fewest births per capita in the world at a staggering 0.72% replacement rate. That will drop even further in 2024. To put this number in perspective, the replacement rate needed (for any nation) to simply maintain population numbers is 2.1%, a number that has become […]

Post-2020, millions of Americans, many of them conservative Christians, have faced the distasteful truth that the places they live have become openly hostile to their way of life. States like California, New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts have become openly hostile. Even urban areas of red states like Texas, Arizona, and Florida cannot be considered friendly […]

Based on statistics alone, someone is filling a pew in your congregation who is contemplating whether “checking out” is preferable to weathering the storms of life they’re in. They may not wear it on their face, and you may never know.

...if a Christian wants to call the nature of the clear biblical narrative into question in regard to the Flood, then why? If not to fit the Bible into secular assumptions, why else? To be novel? To be contrarian? If the physical world makes not less, but more sense with the assumption of a worldwide flood, why exert so much energy trying to force a uniformitarian view and a biblical view together?

It’s hard to conceive of a Christian being upset that any monument dedicated to the greatest evil in the universe is no longer standing. That being said, the paradigm shift of a post-Christian America/West will be messy – as with the Covid Saga, many are sifting through questions that they never thought they’d have to consider.

What has changed is the trajectory of our society to become actively anti-Christian and rabidly interested in destroying, deconstructing, and demeaning Christians (both historical and current). Paying respect and honor to Robert E. Lee and similar historical figures as Christian examples is now profoundly costly - politically, socially, financially, and in some circumstances, probably physically as well. In order to have friendship with many of those who surround us, we must join in the slander. 

Rome was an exciting, invigorating, and dramatic time in history. Rome was the specific epoch God chose to send Christ into so that He might save His people. Rome was an era of great upheaval, paradigm shift, and global change.

We hadn’t quite finished when the phone rang. It was a neighbor urgently telling my mom to turn on the TV. Happy to delay schoolwork, my two brothers and I plopped down on the carpet and started watching Channel 7 ABC News just seconds before Tower Two was hit. 

There are a number of passages that mention Jesus seeking solitude in a “desolate place,” but not just in moments of sorrow or pain. We see a pattern of Jesus routinely looking to get away from the crowds and spend time alone with the Father.

As the title indicates, I’m highly recommending you skip Oppenheimer. Regardless of what a winsome evangelical blogger tells you, critics rave to you, or your favorite conservative commentator yells at you.

It's popular to criticize "bible-belt" Christianity as being hypocritical and fake, but there are surprising stories of right-leaning people coming to saving faith in Christ after moving to more Christian areas of the country.

A poetic tribute to a dedicated pastor, capturing the essence of his unwavering commitment and small daily habits.
