Your Position on Abortion
This is not a position piece. My goal here is to help people think more deeply about the moral aspects of abortion. We are all susceptible to regurgitating the mantra-like taglines that surround us, whether that be in politics, sports, or social topics. Most of us want at least to
A Better Memorial Day
This past Monday was a national holiday called Memorial Day. It is a special day in the United States for remembering those who died while serving in the country’s armed forces. It is sometimes confused with Veterans Day, which is a national holiday to honor all those who have served
Look To God
Throughout scripture, God and pursuers of God continually implore us to “look to God.” This is such a constant encouragement in scripture that “look to God” could very well be the summation of the life of faith or the Christian Life – a life spent looking to God. Looking to
Finding Your Golden Calf
There is this scene in the Bible where the Israelite people do something that seems rather comical and silly to us today. God had recently liberated the Israelite people out of generational slavery in Egypt and began leading them to a new land that they could call their own. Along

In our modern Western world, the battle of the sexes is all too often just that, a battle, an antagonistic competition. Too often in human history women
Hate Speech & Jesus
Let’s work backwards in history on this one. You can turn on the news almost any day now and hear American lawmakers demanding that social media platforms censor “hate speech” even more than they already do. If you didn’t know that the major social media platforms and Google curate what
Weaponizing Love
“Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. Afterward, you should come together again so that Satan won’t be able to tempt you because of your lack of
Train Up a Child
“Train up a children in the way they should go;even when they are old they will not depart from it.” – Proverbs 22:6 This advice is older than psychology – much older. And time has only proven it to be more true. We know today that human development is heavily
