    The Humanist Manifesto, the Religion of Leftism and Progressivism

    November 1, 2020 / 0 Comments

    “Children, it is the last hour, and just as you heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared” (1 John 2:18). Few seem to realize that much of the division in the United States and the West is a clash of religions: It is the clash between the remaining vestiges of the Judeo-Christian worldview and the rise of godless Humanism. I will not try to argue that America is a Christian nation; it is not. If it were, we would not have aborted 60 million of our own children and sacrificed them to the gods of self and sexual “freedom”.[1] If America were a Christian nation,…

    Why Our Work Matters to God

    April 26, 2018 / Comments Off on Why Our Work Matters to God

                  “The Christian shoemaker does his duty, not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship.” — Martin Luther Work. It greets us at the dawn of each new day. Whether you serve in a church or para-church organization, business community, or at home, much of our life is consumed with work. It causes us to rise early and stay late. It compels us to do more, get better, grow stronger.   Occasionally, we sense the glory of work as God intended it. We feel as Eric Liddell did during his Olympic training when…

    Start November by Giving Thanks for the Reformation at 500 Years

    November 7, 2017 / Comments Off on Start November by Giving Thanks for the Reformation at 500 Years

    What does the first post to go viral mean to us personally?   Suppose you wanted to know God and follow him. How might you get to know him? Where would you begin? Maybe you’d like to read what he said…500 years ago your only option would have been a Latin Bible.   Maybe you’d like to go to church…500 years ago your only option would have been a Latin mass.   You could pray…but suppose you felt unworthy. You wanted to come before God but felt you needed to begin by confessing your sin to him. You would need to confess to a priest. Rather than merely listening to…

    This Changed Everything: Documentary about the Protestant Reformation

    August 1, 2017 / 0 Comments

      This year marks the five-hundredth anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. Reformers have existed throughout church history, but a professor in Wittenberg, Germany, named Dr. Martin Luther created 95 talking points listing what he thought needed to change in the Roman Catholic Church. It is said that in 1517, he nailed these discussion-starters to his local bulletin board—the church doors—and many mark this event as the start of the Protestant Reformation. The influence of Luther and his followers led to many changes. Here are a few of the more subtle ones: People shifted holiday gift-giving from St. Nicholas Day (December 6 in most Western countries) to Christmas Eve. Church art…

    Protestants at 500: The Best-Known Female Reformer

    February 1, 2017 / 1 Comment

    In this year, which marks the five-hundredth anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation, many are focusing on the male reformers. But Germany is also focused on some of the females.  Though quite influential, they are often forgotten. And we can learn much from their lives. I'm thinking of one in particular. Come back in time with me to about 1499 in what we know today as eastern Germany—then called Saxony. And picture a girl born to a noble family. When she turns five, her mother dies and her father sends her to a cloister.  There she receives a nun's education. When she is about 24, she and some of her friends—aware of…

    Wittenbery Tales

    January 17, 2017 / 0 Comments

      Since long before Geoffrey Chaucer wrote of people making pilgrimages in the late Middle Ages, Christians have been journeying to holy sites, engaging in travel that aids their spiritual contemplations. And this year is no exception, as thousands are headed to Germany in this the five-hundredth anniversary year of what is considered the start of the Protestant Reformation. From the three E’s of Eisenach, Erfurt, and Eisleben to Torgau (left), Wittenberg, and many other cities, they will see outstanding museum after excellent exhibit after amazing church. They’ll find content that appeals to all ages, information presented through the five senses, creativity that incorporates the latest technology, recognition of women…

    101: Martin Luther and MLK and The Reformation (at 500 Years)

    January 3, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Not long ago, I was getting my hair cut, and I mentioned to my stylist—someone I love who has faithfully attended good Bible studies for two decades—that I was embarking on a press junket to Germany this month. My reason: to visit some of the “Martin Luther” sites, with a view to writing some religious-travel articles. Why now? Because in 2017, we'll mark the five hundredth anniversary of Luther’s nailing his 95 theses to the Wittenberg (“Vittenberg”) Door. In the time that followed with my stylist, she asked some good but basic questions that made me realize how little church history we teach. So here’s a tutorial to read and…

    Halloween or Reformation Day?

    October 30, 2016 / 1 Comment

    It seems that our world is head over heels in love with Halloween to the point that you can go to almost any store and find all kinds of paraphernalia. Halloween has become big business and the merchants are using their “trick or treat” to drain our pocketbooks and fill theirs. If you have looked closely these days the merchants are also promoting the death culture with the ghouls and goblins dripping with blood. Our public schools spend the month of October in preparation for the party centered around Halloween, costumes, candy and spooky music! Have we become so enamored with Halloween that we have forgotten about what happened on…

    Five of the Greatest Christian Books of All-Time? (What Are Your Picks?)

    June 11, 2011 / 22 Comments

    “The discerning person acquires knowledge, and the wise person seeks knowledge” (Proverbs 18:15). “I would like you to give me five of the greatest Christian books of all time.” This was what I told my dad in response to his asking me to provide Christmas gift suggestions for him and Mom about fifteen years ago. Of course, in this case I meant books other than the Bible, as I understood that the Bible contained 66 of the greatest and most influential books from throughout Christendom’s history. Now for my dad, this request may have been one of the best challenges or gift suggestions of all time since he’s a person…

    Spiritually Bipolar

    January 14, 2011 / 0 Comments

    Here’s another confession. I’m bi-polar when it comes to my spiritual life. On the one hand I can be very self-condemning: I’m a rotten worthless sinner who can’t do anything right. I wrote a song once called Failure the lyrics to which expressed how I often feel: I confess that I’m a failure This sober truth, it haunts my life Decisions made that were unwise I’ve messed up my own, and others’ lives Too many times… Yes, I beat myself up a lot. And, yes, I know Jesus loves me, but I have often asked, “But does He like me?” I fail time and time and time and time and…
