Someone recently told me that the content of this site is not presented in the spirit of “love.” I hope that others do not share the same opinion. I do this out of love for others, out of concern for their souls, and out of love for God. These posts are intended to inspire others to live a more fulfilling life,…

A few weeks ago, I was reading Leviticus. I was puzzled by the reference to sin offerings for “unintentional” sins. Why the particular reference to “unintentional” sins? We all sin – it’s part of our human nature. But if the bible makes a particular reference to unintentional sins, then it seems like there would be a reason…

The other day, my family and I were sitting in our breakfast nook having a conversation. I do not remember much about the details of our conversation but I asked what we should do when we have turned away from God. My daughter, who is very young, replied without hesitation with a single word, “Repent.” This…

I went to a men’s chili cook-off this past Sunday evening at our church. Mike Young, founder of Noble Warriors, a local men’s ministry, admonished the men for the pervasive use of porn in our Christian culture. He recently had an opportunity to talk with a young woman, who indicated that porn has become epidemic on college campuses. It’s in open…

Sometimes things get overly complicated. We take in so much information in a given day, it’s difficult to digest it all, much less put something into practice. Yesterday, I read an article that acknowledged this. It listed a number of things right up front that would lead to a particular outcome. Then, it said, “Reading…

Last Saturday, I published a post entitled “Are you ready for a change?“ I expressed a disappointment in myself for contributing to the world being the way that it is – a sinful world that apparently is becoming progressively more sinful. I have been part of the popular culture, which appears to lack any trace of God. …

We all have a history. What’s in yours? I have talked to people who wish they had not always taken the narrow, less traveled path. They feel separated from the world. They often feel alone, unable to relate to those who have traveled the wider path, the one that leads to destruction. I envy these people who…

I frequently endure criticism because my focus is often on sin and its prevalence in our culture. It can arguably be said that this is unbiblical. We are to think about those things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. When we do this, when we think upon these things, maybe we don’t…

In America, we profess to be predominantly of Christian faith. But maybe that more accurately describes our origins. We come from a lineage of Christians. But many of us do not appear to be Christians. At least, we don’t act like it. And it’s not popular to be a Christian in our culture. It’s easy…

In law school, we learned about legal tests. The parts of the tests are typically referred to as prongs. Each prong must be satisfied to pass the test. For example, in tort law, negligence has a four-prong test. It requires a duty, breach, cause and harm. All four of these prongs must be satisfied for negligence to…
