What is Marriage?

Throughout my life, it seems like our country has been arguing over what marriage is. Last week, it became even more clear to me that we as American’s do not have a solid understanding of marriage, as with all the other confusion that has developed in our postmodern age. In an essay two weeks ago,Continue reading “What is Marriage?”

LGB Without The TQ

Over the past few months, I have noticed a number of conservative groups embrace the saying “LGB without the TQ,”1 but this is not a consistent conservative position, and its certainly not a biblical position. With this has come the acceptance of groups like Gays Against Groomers and the Log Cabin Republicans, but these organizationsContinue reading “LGB Without The TQ”

V. Quake Four: Replacement Ideology

It has been just over a year since the last post in this series. Over the last year, many things have highlighted the fact that we are living in the Negative World. Among many of the signposts is the expression “Happy Holidays!” Each year, little by little, Christmas is replaced with a generic holiday. ThisContinue reading “V. Quake Four: Replacement Ideology”

IV. The Coming Cultural Tsunami: Christian Oppressors

The third quake is redefining Christians as oppressors. Christianity in the U.S. has entered what is described as the Negative World. Where being known as a Christian is a social negative, particularly to the elites of society. This redefinition has taken place for a couple of reasons.

III. The Coming Cultural Tsunami: Rejection of Biblical Morality

The second quake is the denial of biblical morality. The Bible draws a clear contrast between truth and error. The Apostle John warns of distinguishing the “Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error” (1 John 4:6, ESV).[1] Paul states those who deny the reality of God “by their unrighteousness suppress the truth” (Rom. 1:18).[2]Continue reading “III. The Coming Cultural Tsunami: Rejection of Biblical Morality”

II. The Coming Cultural Tsunami: Rejection of Truth

Dr. Denison defined the first quake as the rejection of objective truth.[1] The denial is evident in popular mantras such as “perception is reality,” “true for you, but not for me,” and the mantra popularized by Oprah Winfrey, “live your truth.” According to George Barna’s recent survey of Millennials, 56% reject the idea of absoluteContinue reading “II. The Coming Cultural Tsunami: Rejection of Truth”

The Coming Cultural Tsunami

Dr. Jim Denison of Baylor University recently gave a Chapel sermon that addressed our current cultural revolution.[1] During his sermon, he used the illustration of a tsunami to describe the rapid change in our culture. Some of us look around and wonder what is happening? When did gender become a spectrum? When did the birthdateContinue reading “The Coming Cultural Tsunami”

Challenging Divine Authority: Communist China’s Persecution of Christians

“There was no prior warning. They came in, sat down and interrogated me for a whole day without a break. I later found out they questioned many of my colleagues too. They pressured them to provide information about my ‘religious activities.’ This sudden, dramatic action by the hospital management made me look like a criminal!”[1]Continue reading “Challenging Divine Authority: Communist China’s Persecution of Christians”
