We are staring into the eyes of what Jurgen Habermas called a “legitimation crisis.” There is a fundamental mistrust of our government, churches, media, education, legal system, and other administrative agencies that are supposed to be in place to protect us from tyranny. Regardless of our political or religious affiliations, we feel let down. This… Continue reading The Cure for Legitimation Crisis

The Trinity: A Triune God, Man, and Three Heavens.
Sets of threes are very prominent throughout The Bible. First and foremost is the Holy Trinity consisting of God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost). There is also a Satanic Trinity that appears in the book of Revelation. This is Satan, the False Prophet, and Antichrist.… Continue reading The Trinity: A Triune God, Man, and Three Heavens.
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.

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 this section, I hope to deal with the person… Continue reading The End Times pt. 3 (The Antichrist)

Genesis 6: 1-4 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the Lord said,… Continue reading My Biblical Theory of the Paranormal (The Short Version)
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?)
