The news of an amicable split of the church of my youth brings feelings of sadness for what could have been and hopefulness for what will be.

The persecution of Sandmann and the Covington Catholic High School students could easily happen to any of us.

Not So United Methodists

If a culture can be made to pervert something as foundational and long held as marriage, why not target elementary biology?

England. Fork. Some assembly required.

We heard that these people wanted equality, but what they really want is to rule us.

Equipping our kids might mean talking to them about difficult and uncomfortable subjects long before we’d like to.

Though the discovery of the Persian wall and tower was unexpected, when considering the historical sources, it is entirely unsurprising. The Bible discusses just such a wall, at length and in great detail.

In my youth, I had been numbed to the decadence that now was impossible to ignore. I started isolating myself from my peers in order to focus on my work and practice my faith.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

Gay and lesbian activists, along with their bisexual allies, are about to be clobbered. They’re about to be decked. But not by those enemy evangelicals they have long resented and demonized.
