Admitting the Church Isn’t Going Anywhere

Christianity Today editor Richard Clark recently wrote a piece admitting that the church was not going anywhere. By it, he meant that he was quite aware that for the most part the church was irrelevant with all the “nones” and “dones” leaving the church in droves, mainly because most churches…



“They’re All Bad Till They Ain’t”

That is a classic statement from the movie based on a true story, the 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. It came toward the latter part of the movie when American contractors hired to protect U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens were fighting for their lives amid several hellish raids by…


STAR WARS: The Force is Getting Stale

Yesterday, my wife and I decided to take in a Sunday afternoon matinee and watch the latest round of Star Wars movies that has been produced over the course of the past 40 years. For those that might be unaware, the first Star Wars (A New Hope) was released in…

It is Islam, Stupid!

So, here we go again; another week where another Muslim act of terrorism takes place, this time in San Bernadino, California. To add insult to injury (and death), we have the same irresponsible handling of the case by those in charge, as they do everything possible to avoid dealing with…
