Society and The Gosnell Trial: Degradation vs. Dignity

April 21, 2013

The Wall Street Journal had an insightful editorial this weekend by Sohrab Ahmari titled Leon Kass: The Meaning of the Gosnell Trial. What Kass has brilliantly put his finger on is the degradation in our culture that has become disrespectful of dignity and indifferent to degradation. Just think about what you see on the major networks […]

Rebutting the WSJ Article “A Conservative Case for Gay Marriage”

April 13, 2013

I read, with great interest, Bret Stephens’ recent article “A Conservative Case for Gay Marriage.” With all due respect to Mr. Stephens, I think this represents the laziest, sloppiest thinking today that somehow passes for journalism, particularly “conservative” journalism. In truth, there is no “conservative” case for gay marriage. A conservative might make a case […]

Can Christians Support Same-Sex Marriage?

April 7, 2013

Here I am writing another post defending marriage. There is so much more to be said because the debate over same-sex marriage has practically no intellectual weight to it on either side. The side for same-sex marriage is purely emotional, and will answer any pressing question with an insult that the person opposed is a […]

It is Better to Be Thought a Fool…

March 29, 2013

I recently read a Huffington Post article titled 6 Things Christians Should Stop Saying, written by the self-described “Author, Speaker, Thought Leader, and Spiritual Teacher,” Steve McSwain. I must say that for someone with so many titles I am completely underwhelmed. How someone who is supposedly so learned can be so ignorant of Christianity is quite […]

Was Jesus Accepting of Homosexuality? (Part 2)

February 23, 2013

This is a follow up post to my last post asking if Jesus was accepting of homosexuality, where I argued in the negative. But of course, that does not mean Jesus did not love homosexuals. The issue has always been with sin, whether it be homosexual sin or any other type of sin, and that […]

Was Jesus Accepting of Homosexuality?

February 18, 2013

A friend of mine emailed me a couple of days ago about non-Christians and even professing Christians justifying homosexuality by citing that since Jesus didn’t speak about homosexuality, then it must be an acceptable practice. I can hardly think of logic that is dumber than this. Jesus didn’t talk about heroin or crack cocaine either, […]

Marco Rubio Does Not Need to Know How Old the Earth Is

November 20, 2012

Marco Rubio does NOT need to know the earth is billions of years old, especially if a liberal is arguing that he should, as Alex Knapp does in a Forbes article responding  to some comments made by Rubio in a recent GQ interview. Rubio is correct to say “I think the age of the universe […]

Christian Conservatives, Liberals, and Big Government

November 18, 2012

One thing that I think liberals least understand about Christian conservatives is our motivation for being against big government. What I have consistently heard from my liberal friends and family members is that only the federal government, with its vast reach and power, can ensure that everyone is fed, housed, clothed, and has access to […]

Defining Marriage: What’s in a Name?

October 3, 2012

I have been involved in a trail on same-sex marriage on Facebook, and wanted to make what I feel is a critical point that I think is important in discussing this issue. I would like to send a special hat tip to Jay Richards of the Discovery Institute in his recent Christian Research Journal article […]
