If the Christian God exists, and if God has revealed himself to us in Scripture, then as followers of Christ we must submit ourselves to what the Christian Scripture teaches about all facets of life. This includes the nature and purpose of human sexuality and marriage. As we look to the Scripture, God’s clear teaching… Continue reading Defending Traditional Marriage in a Non-Christian Culture

Friday’s Footnotes Aug 28, 2015
It has been a busy week. Please make sure that you stayed current on these stories. Footnote 1: IMB reduces personnel to increase impact. Footnote 2: Sat Aug 22 saw nationwide protests against Planned Parenthood, including a small group in Charleston.
With Paul in the School of Life-Long Learning
Comedian Groucho Marx (if you don’t recognize the name, Google it) once said, ”I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” Evidently vaudeville and television personalities understood the value of reading and life-long learning. Today the masters of the leadership universe… Continue reading With Paul in the School of Life-Long Learning
Planned Parenthood Video #8 from CMP
The 8th video has been released from the Center for Medical Progress, exposing this time one of Planned Parenthood’s partners, StemExpress.

Parting Thoughts on Teaching Revelation in my Local Church
Like many Bible teachers whose churches follow in part or in full the schedule of Lifeway’s Explore the Bible series, I am finishing my lessons on Revelation this coming Sunday. It has been for me, and I hope for those of my local church, one of the most refreshing times in the Scripture I have… Continue reading Parting Thoughts on Teaching Revelation in my Local Church
Marty McFly, LOST and Reading the Torah as One Book

Indeed, as a teen I had to make sure not to miss a moment of the never-ending trailers that ran before Back to the Future and the first few moments of Michael J Fox skateboarding through the Universal studio lot: couldn’t and wouldn’t miss it. While the… Continue reading Marty McFly, LOST and Reading the Torah as One Book
PP Video #7 is Released by the Center for Medical Progress
I just watched the latest video on the abortion body part trade that flows out of Planned Parenthood. The Center for Medical Progress website has unleashed this chapter in their series on Human Capital. It is not easy to watch, but it is important to highlight. This evil butchery must end. #DefundPlannedParenthood
Family and Student Ministry in the Local Church
Traditionally, churches and youth leaders focus on creating and managing events and activities exclusively for teenagers. They develop an experience with each other isolated from the rest of the church and their own families. Indeed, many of us who walk with the Lord today have fond memories of youth group trips and regular weekly meetings,… Continue reading Family and Student Ministry in the Local Church

Footnote 1: The Center for Medical Progress released their 6th video on Planned Parenthood’s trade in human body parts. This video featured a compelling testimony of a worker at a Planned Parenthood partner, StemExpress, describing the impact of the bottom line on how PP executed its process.

The Teaching and Re-Teaching of Science
As another school year approaches, I wrestle with how my children’s science education will help them to think scientifically. I wonder quite often what I will need to re-teach them at home. While the home must be the first and primary source for teaching, many of us rely on the school system, so I need… Continue reading The Teaching and Re-Teaching of Science
