This is a quote from a gay rights activist regarding people of faith standing up against the gay lifestyle. “I encourage them to promote the values they believe in and to defend their religious principles in advertisements, but civil rights have nothing to do with religious principles.” This idea that you can separate values from [...]

Whenever I tell a story about spiritual growth in my life, I often start off with, “So, I was getting a little too comfortable…” God is good about keeping me out of my comfort zone. That’s a good thing, because the human comfort zone leads to rebellion and selfishness. So, I was getting a little [...]

The euphemism “all roads lead to Rome” is often used to argue that there are many ways to God or to Heaven. The idea is that there is no one path or one belief that will achieve a happy afterlife. There are many and if you are selfless, loving, and do good deeds you’ll end [...]

I often hear people praying to be forgiven for their sins. There is a slight disconnect here that can be cleared up with one word: propitiation. Jesus Christ has already paid for our sins. I might ask another human to forgive me, but there is no need for God to forgive me. He already has. [...]

In March of 1989, Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons announced to the world that they had produced nuclear fusion in a tabletop experiment. The headlines termed it “Cold Fusion”. Fusion is a holy grail of energy production because it is a better producer of energy than fission, but while it’s hard to split atoms, it’s [...]

My son was probably five or six when I fully realized just how much he watched me. He wanted to wear the same clothes. He wanted to do the same things. He even had the temerity to use my own logic against me! The realization finally hits home when he says or does something in [...]

It’s hard not to be cynical when you see a professional athlete sitting in a news conference with his third or fourth team telling the press how this is really the team he always wanted to play with. It seems like loyalties shift a little too easily. But, we all know that’s mostly for the [...]

I was studying the account of the last hours of Jesus in John 18. The characters are so clear and well-defined. Each has some fatal character flaws. Judas, a pretender at best, but in reality, a liar, a thief, a hanger-on, and a traitor who imploded in the end. Simon Peter is courageous and, at [...]

Part of the excitement of watching sports is the close games. Even if I’m not watching one of my favorite teams, I can still get caught up watching the double overtime or extra inning game. I remember a game in 2000 where the Mariners won on a home run in the bottom of the nineteenth [...]

Recovering alcoholics talk about how they are never cured of their disease. They have a daily battle to avoid slipping back into destructive habits. They know that it’s very easy to slip up and to justify it. It’s easy to consider a slip-up as minor and then do it again and again and again until [...]
