Putting Away All Bitterness and Anger

This most recent Sunday morning my family stayed home from church. We also stayed home from church the Sunday before that. Before you go wondering, let me assure you our reasons for staying home were not anger and bitterness. The sky is blue, the grass is green, and Lauren is pregnant. And with pregnancy at…More

Feminism and The Men’s Rights Movement

Dovetailing off recent episodes of this podcast – Episode #116 ‘Why Men Hate Going to Church’ and Episode #130 ‘Reverse Sexism in American Churches’ – I want to talk about the Men’s Rights Movement. Micah Hershberger sent me two videos this week to mull over. Watch for our forthcoming episode of On The Rocks podcast in which we discuss…More

Taming the Tongue

“Anyways” – you would not believe how difficult it has been for me to try to eliminate just that one little word from my vocabulary. But this just serves to underscore the larger point of Biblical passages like James 3:1-12. Listen to this episode of the podcast to hear about my personal endeavor to get better,…More

Patience Is A Virtue

They say that patience is a virtue, but why is that? And why is it so hard to be patient?

The Biblical Case For Free Speech

What is freedom of speech, and is there a biblical principle supporting what we commonly refer to as our right to free speech? Unless we are dumb in the literal sense, we have the ability. We also have the responsibility. Yet freedom is not without reasonable constraint or consequence. And all things being permissible does…More

Not Just The Amen… But The A-Women and A-Children

Chris Enloe at The Blaze reports ‘House Democrat ends prayer with ‘amen and a-woman,’ gets destroyed when Ben Shapiro explains the meaning of ‘amen’. Spoiler alert: the root word of ‘amen’ is not ‘men.’  Also, what is behind Hollywood releasing a spate of awfully feminist movies?   Wonder Woman 1984, The Croods: A New Age,…More

10 and 2 on 11 Senators Objecting

The Epoch Times reported today 11 More GOP Senators to Object to Electoral College Votes. I am reminded of Numbers 13-14 in the Old Testament, and that one time 12 spies were sent by Moses to scout out the Promised Land. Israel would have been far better off listening to Joshua son of Nun and…More

Fracking And The Dominion Mandate

To frack or not to frack? That is the question.  Rather, that is one of the questions at stake in the 2020 election here in the United States of America. But what are the implications of our options? On a personal level, as someone who has worked in the Oil & Gas industry in America…More
