I’m a fan of vintage Western movies. However, I have never seen one where a Christian is portrayed as anything but a bumbling baboon that has a limited choice of Scripture. The crazy preacher always says, “an eye for an eye,” as he guns someone down. Then he gets admonished by the spinster, “Thou shalt [...]

I’ve been on both sides of the responsibility equation. I’ve been at the bottom of the totem pole and had no responsibility other than my own actions. I simply followed directions, performed the job given to me, and called it a day. I’ve also been somewhere nearer the top where I was asked to make [...]

My wife was telling me about a study that had made something click for her today. She explained that while in the midst of a trial, our instinct is to be angry at God. But, instead of being angry at where I am, I should be thankful that He is with me there. I needed [...]

I’m fighting the good planner in me, now. Generally, it’s a good idea to have a major event planned out. I’m comfortable when I know how things are supposed to go and when I have a couple of alternatives up my sleeve for contingencies. It’s how I approach moving, career changes, and trips longer than [...]

You know there are times when we are jealous of the apparent freedom of the lost. Those are the times when they seem to be having all the fun and success. This leads to a jealousy of those that profess to be saved, but don’t walk the walk. These are the Christians that are not [...]

I enjoy the debate of ideas. I like hearing the details spread out on the table and considered carefully. I like a rhetorical flourish now and then, but I cannot stand it when the debater attempts to hide his true aim to achieve it. I get frustrated when commentators on my side tell me that [...]

The movie genres of “chick flick” and “sci-fi” rarely intersect. One movie that was clearly a love story and had a little sci-fi in it was “Somewhere in Time” with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. The premise is that a modern day man uses mind over matter to transport himself backward in time. He meets [...]

I believe that there is so much truth-stretching out there that outright lies have been placed in the same category as a story by Garrison Keillor about Lake Wobegon. I worry less about the lies that thinking people should be able to see through than I do about the trusted lies. That’s when someone you [...]

“Ida is the stunningly well-preserved fossil that has been hailed as “our connection with the rest of all the mammals.” A massive publicity campaign, including books, videos, a website, and public unveiling’s, coincided with the May 2009 publication of a scientific study conducted on the fossil. But published statements from creation and evolutionary scientists alike [...]

One of many great movie moments in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” is during the climatic sequence where Jones has to navigate a series of obstacles and traps based on the pseudo-Biblical clues he has. One of them is called the “Leap from the Lion’s Head”. It appears to be an impossibly long jump [...]
