When “One” Doesn’t Mean “One”: The Church, One Body

Institutions declare, “One team.”  Whole nations announce to themselves and to other nations, “We are one.”  You’ve got, “one office,” to promote productivity for the work place.  To express the unity of a city, there’s “One Atlanta.”  Not surprisingly, you see “One Philadelphia” too.A single team isn’t saying, “We’re numerically one team.”  No.  The people […]

The Two Story View of Truth and Gender Identity: Matt Walsh on Dr. Phil

A conservative commentator, who works with and on Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro’s new media company, showed up for the Dr. Phil show with two transgenders (the term “non-binary” was used).  This interaction has been big on the world wide web.  I didn’t hear about it until today, even as I write this.  I know who Dr. […]

“The Phone” and “The Church”

My wife and I were out Saturday in door-to-door evangelism.  We talked to several people including a long time to a couple of Mormon missionaries.  At one of the doors, we rang the bell and stood waiting in the cold outside.  We heard someone talking, so we waited longer.  Then I said, “Someone is talking […]

Voting “Rights” Bill

The Democrat Party holds power in the country barely.  They don’t have the Supreme Court, even though John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh both sadly voted to uphold the mandate of the vaccine for medical workers in federally funded institutions.  When those people were off work, they still will have a medicine in their system that […]

John MacArthur: “Men Dressed Like Women”

Not many days ago, well-known evangelical pastor, John MacArthur, went public, perhaps worldwide, by calling on pastors today to stand with Canadian evangelical pastors by preaching for biblical sexual morality.  I noticed that he himself preached “Such Were Some of You but You Have Been Washed” from 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 on January 16, 2022, Sunday morning.  […]

Living In Utah: My Observations

My wife, parents, and I moved into Utah mid-August 2021.  Ten years ago, it never occurred that I would live in Utah and if someone asked, I would have said, zero chance.  As Charles Dickins wrote first in The Pickwick Papers, his 1837 novel, “Never say never.” Someone recently asked where I was now, and when […]

Why Do Jews Get Special Favor from True Christians?

Based on what’s committed against the United States and people’s talk about Islamophobia, one might think Moslems would receive more crimes against them for their religion.  They don’t.  The FBI reports 227 Moslem victims in its last report in 2019 and 1,032 Jewish victims.  Jews themselves also know that antisemitism grows rapidly. For most of my […]

Means to Personal Growth: How I Grow as a Person

We’re all going to die and personal growth will then end.  At what point does personal growth stop?  The older you get, the less years you have left, and maybe it doesn’t matter any more.  I don’t know how much time I have left.  It could be twenty years.  It could be twenty seconds. If […]

My Vaccine, Etc. Take

This is my take on the Covid-19 vaccine, etc. In 2020-21 Brother Ross has written everything on vaccines and conspiracies on his day on Fridays.  I wish they weren’t controversial, but I knew they would be and I know they are. I allowed all of them.  I’m fine with the position he takes.  He’s never […]

Ranking the Worst Things Happening In a Given Year

Someone said that they don’t like 2022 because it’s 2020 two times.  Get it.  Twenty-twenty two.  Twenty-twenty two-times.  They were being funny. I remember when we got the call that said we had to cancel school and in a real hurry in March 2020.  We went to zoom classes.  Putting an entire school on zoom […]
