One Nation, Two Genders

There is an unbelievably fierce push in America for the ideology of “one husband, one wife, for life” to be effaced from the minds of her citizens. Unfortunately, many Christians fail in standing tenacious for the family and remain silent on this prevalent issue. Worse yet, some individuals who profess Christianity advocate the church to be more accepting to that “confused” portion of our population, asserting that the Bible commands its adherents to be tolerant and loving. While the Scriptures do teach of love and compassion, never do these sacred words support the toleration of sin. The Word of God clearly labels homosexual behavior as sin, according to 1 Corinthians 6, and speaks unfavorably toward those who partake of such abomination (Romans 1). God will cease to bestow his benefits upon America if she continues to blur the genders. M. R. DeHaan noted, “No nation can continue in the blessing of the Lord which permits the breakdown of the distinction between the sexes.”[i] If America desires to maintain the favor of God, she must conspicuously convey the role and purpose of both male and female and repent of her errant ways.

    Excellent post... However, with your extended vocabulary be careful to not overuse it. You never want to be so liberal with your adjectives and vernacular that you lose the reader. Most people who will be reading what you do aren't going to know or take the time to look up the words "effaced" and "tenacious" so they will lose the point of what you are trying to say. That being said I read several or your post. Looking forward to how God is going to use you now and in the future.

Why Snoring Is a Sin

Because I am oblivious to this world while I'm asleep, I cannot state with absolute certainty that I don't snore. I trust I don't. Snoring is an abomination in the ears of God. It deprives precious children of God of the necessary sleep for a happy, healthy existence. It forces a person to contemplate the meaning of life as he lies in bed plotting the demise of this evil snorer. In short, I hate snoring. Here are two reasons why snoring is a sin. The first reason snoring is a sin is that it provokes people to anger. The Bible instructs its readers to not be a stumbling block for another Christian. Every Christian can agree that snorers test their sanctification. Maybe this is God's way of drawing us nearer to him? I hardly think so. Snorers must repent of their wicked sins! The second reason is that most snorers are overweight. How do most people become fat citizens of the human race? They eat too much. Eating too much is known in biblical terminology as gluttony. T

We Are in the Last Days.... And So Was the Early Church

Image
  Having grown up around the Christian faith, I have heard throughout my entire life that we are living in the last days. This was often accompanied by an exhortation to prepare our lives for Christ's return. Generally, this topic would be emphasized when something bad had occurred or was occurring: a devastating natural disaster, a presidential figure who embodied the ultimate demise of America (because America isn't mentioned in end-time prophecy, right?), and the increasing lawlessness in our civilization. Inevitably, an appeal would always be made to the "perilous times" that Paul said would be present in "the last days" (2 Timothy 3:1). What I have come to understand is that this emphasis on the fact that we are living in the last days is true, but it's incomplete. It's accurate, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Why? Simply put, according to a careful reading of the New Testament, the last days is a period of time from the birth, life, d

The Six Components of Contagious Content

In a recent blog post, I referred to a book entitled Contagious: Why Things Catch On, written by Jonah Berger, who is a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Today, I would like to offer a brief summary of the book and give his six reasons for why ideas, products, and behaviors catch on. But, before I introduce those six qualities, let me give a brief story that highlights the importance of reading and how one book can alter your life. Berger unashamedly admits that the inspiration for his career came from Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point. If you haven't read The Tipping Point , you need to find a copy. It's pure gold. The point of this short paragraph is to ask you, "What's the one book which will inspire you to make an impact on the world?" Never stop reading. The next book could be transformative. Without further ado, Berger centers his book on describing the STEPPS to contagious content. Social currency.  People have
