I want us all to really think hard about this: There will be people voting in the next election who have no personal connection to America prior to George W. Bush. There is a massive voting bloc who were 3 years old when the World Trade Center went down. There are millions of eligible voters… Continue reading The Postmodern World

Evil is NOT a Social Construction
As a Christian social scientist, my personal views are often at odds with those of my peers. That is not to say that I cannot apply sociological thought and theory to the world around me. In fact, I believe it gives me a unique perspective in both the academic and religious worlds. I believe that… Continue reading Evil is NOT a Social Construction
Social Media, Biblical End Times, and the Inevitable Trump
A recent conversation in my church small group really got me thinking about where we are headed as a society. I have no doubt that my group is full of well-intentioned, reasonable people who truly do their best to walk with God. That being said, we had a pretty interesting disagreement over media and social… Continue reading Social Media, Biblical End Times, and the Inevitable Trump
Has the Church Lost its Fight?
I just watched a documentary on Netflix called “Fight Church” about the increasing number of American pastors and churches that not only accept, but participate in mixed martial arts. The argument that the movie makes is this: should Christians engage in an activity that inevitably ends with two people trying to physically harm one another?… Continue reading Has the Church Lost its Fight?
The Slow Death of Marriage
Marriage is not a fundamental right, nor is it a government institution. Marriage is a relationship between one man and one woman that is supposed to represent an unbreakable union. The vows spoken before the altar are meant to be a verbal contract between man and wife. It is a promise that regardless of financial… Continue reading The Slow Death of Marriage
The End Times pt. 4 (More About Antichrist)
After Satan and his angels were removed from Heaven, they came to Earth and mated with human women. Their offspring were giant super humans. That is to say, they were godlike. The Bible says: Genesis 6: 1-4 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were… Continue reading The End Times pt. 4 (More About Antichrist)
The End Times pt. 3 (The Antichrist)
In part one, I discussed my thoughts on why I believe we are in the “end times” predicted thousands of years ago in The Bible. In part two, I offered possibly pathways to explaining away the Rapture and reaching the one-world government, currency, and religion. In this section, I hope to deal with the person… Continue reading The End Times pt. 3 (The Antichrist)
The End Times pt. 2 (The Rapture and “One-Worlds”)
The last time I wrote about the “end times”, I focused mainly on why I believe that we are currently in the final period of life on Earth. For this part, I want to focus on my thoughts about what is to come and how we can see more prophecy playing out in the near… Continue reading The End Times pt. 2 (The Rapture and “One-Worlds”)
The End Times pt. 1 (Are We There Yet?)
***UPDATE: 9/30/2019** The changes in society are stunning. Since I wrote this original article four years ago, the social fabric in this country has unraveled like nothing I have ever experienced. The political rhetoric has deteriorated, the rise of the LGBT movement has been meteoric, and our social institutions have never been less trusted. It… Continue reading The End Times pt. 1 (Are We There Yet?)
