The Imprecatory Psalms

Um… What? I’m sure glad that nobody has written any hymnals that we sing loudly and proudly along to with phrases like “dash the heads of my enemies’ infants, O Lord, against the rocks!”

Habakkuk’s Song

I was reading through Habakkuk last night because, of course, everybody spends so much time in this very short book… and I realized that there was a great song here.

The MBTI Test, Carl Jung, and satan

As Christians, to condemn the test because it is based on theories of an anti-theist, therefore, requires us to reject everything that came from a non-believer… including medicine, scientific theories, medical research, etc. It is patently ridiculous.

It takes just one to spoil the bunch

Immediately, what came to mind was the small number of Christians on YouTube who create blatant animosity among non-believers as almost a badge of courage. And, like the guy on the train, that non-believer walks away thinking that all Christians are jerks.

Luke 9: Some holiday scripture to remind us of our faulty human nature

YouTube Christian Collab II Update: We have raised $152.18 for poconoprc.org as of this update. Won’t you join us? I am directly ripping most of these thoughts from my Pastor, but I am passing them on to you as I feel led to this morning. Maybe it is something that needs to be said to [...]

There’s an unknown filmmaker in New Mexico who has come up with an interesting idea to promote his independent film about “two bio-geneticists whose Formula 4708 reverses the whole world’s sexual orientation.” He is in the process of writing what he calls the “Princess Diana Bible,” so named because of her many “good works.” It [...]

Here is why the U.S. Constitution’s 14th amendment is so important to preserve

Here is what I’m talking about in the previous blog post. Just today, there is a story out of South Korea where the South Korean Supreme Court upheld, by a slim margin, imprisonment for adultery. If you remove adultery/imprisonment and replace gay marriage/constitutional amendment, it reads eerily similar to a story on the gay marriage [...]

Clarifying the gay marriage issue

I participated in a civil email exchange over the gay marriage issue and my recent blog entry on the subject. I think it is worthy of note, so I am posting my response and the initial questions. In my view, the gay marriage issue need not be religious or partisan political. The issue for our [...]
