Philosophy
Discussions about PHILOSOPHY. Because everyone needs to wax poetic every once in a while. This category will contain everything that interests me about PHILOSOPHY.
Who Do You Respect?
There is a common adage that is found throughout a number of cultures that I am sure most people are at least aware of, even if they have not encountered it in quite the same way I am about to pass it along here. The adage is usually phrased: “Respect is Earned Not Given.” One […]
Is The Generation Gap Part Of Satans Plan?
One of the more amusing concepts to me when speaking with younger individuals is the idea of ‘you don’t know me’. It’s the idea that I can’t possibly understand someone if I haven’t walked a mile in their shoes. Given the definitions that we want to apply to these scenarios within our lives it is […]
Can You Be A Christian And … ?
My last post, unsurprisingly, generated some questions. Which is great because it exposes me to different world views. But they also alerted me to the fact that perhaps my real point was misinterpreted, particularly by the younger generations. So I’d like to address a couple of questions here that were thrown my way in the […]
Is America At War?
Why was Jesus Christ crucified on the cross? And yes, I know, because He is the Son of God and He gave up His life at the will of the Father in order to pay for the sins of the world that you and I might be saved. But what reason was put forth at […]
Which Side Are You On?
Yesterday I passed along my thoughts on the two different cultures manifesting themselves in America today. I said that I didn’t have a question, only an observation, but that was not entirely accurate. I do have a question. The point of the observations, naturally, was to cause you to consider which culture you fit into […]
A Tale Of Two Cultures
In 1859 Charles Dickens wrote the historical novel A Tale of Two Cities. A story centered around London England and Paris France before/during the French Revolution. It has been referred to as the best selling novel of all time (and certainly must be in the top 10, assuming it is even taught in schools these […]
How Do I Know If You Trust Jesus?
The other day in my last blog post I talked about people at the George Floyd protests carrying No Justice No Peace signs (as those found here) and I mentioned how ridiculous I find that slogan. I also mentioned these people don’t know peace and that peace dependent upon justice is worthless peace. But I […]
What is your cause?
Pastor’s are not supposed to have a “cause” other than preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I was always taught that you preach TO the people not AT the people. Unfortunately, even preaching TO the people (or just being a prophet in your own time) is more often than not interpreted as preaching AT the […]
Who Are You?
We all want to be somebody. And we all want to be somebody special. We want to be somebody unique. We all want to know that we are the most unique human on the planet. Beyond our fingerprints, beyond our DNA, beyond our talents and our personalities, we want to be unique. And we want […]
The Greatest Teacher
Psalm 119:33 (NASB) 33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, And I shall observe it to the end. The most transformational, defining moments of my life have been when the LORD has reached down, enlightened and taught me. All the great teachers I’ve been privileged to hear, and my best times of […]
