Sacrifice? Give me a break!
Oswald Chambers kept me from being a Jonah. God had asked me to remain in a situation that I was ready to have complete, never to return. The following morning, all three of my devotionals screamed: “You will say “yes”.” Mr. Chambers spoke loudly in ‘My Utmost for His Highest‘, “How can we talk of [...]

The National Rifle Association: When One Issue Advocacy Becomes Idiotic
The National Rifle Association endorsed incumbent Governor Chet Culver yesterday I had to shake my head. Yes, I know that he signed the NRA backed law passed last General Assembly that took the subjectivity out of the conceal carry permit process (before a county sheriff could deny you a permit because you looked funny). Yes [...]
Atheist Interview, Question 1: What is the Meaning of Christian?
Preliminary Remarks and Introduction A couple of weeks ago I posted a video by professed Christian-turned-Atheist Chris Redford, along with my arguments there is no evidence he ever was a Christian.
