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. The first reason is the widespread acceptance ofContinue reading “IV. The Coming Cultural Tsunami: Christian Oppressors”
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.

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.

Recently my daughter asked me what the most important job in the world was? Many people may answer with doctor, lawyer, teacher, or president. However, I told her being a mom and dad is the most important job in the world. You see, in Genesis, one of God’s first instructions to man and woman wasContinue reading “Teach Them to Know the Lord”
Leadership in the New Testament
I recently completed a study looking for biblical themes of leadership in the Old Testament. I followed that study up with a look at the New Testament. Between the two, I have started to develop a theology of leadership.

What Happened to “Safe and Rare?”
Miscarriages can be one of the most traumatic events in a couple’s life. A happy mother and father are planning for the new member of the family when tragedy strikes. It’s heartbreaking for believing and unbelieving families alike, we all acknowledge that life was lost, and a tragedy occurred.
