Are People Not Allowed To Change?
When do we let go of people's past actions and let them mature and grow in Christ? Right now Mark Driscoll is being raked over the coals for things he has done in the distant past and though I am not a fan, this current episode of attacks against him provide an interesting situation to … Continue reading Are People Not Allowed To Change?
In The News
When unbelievers say something, Christians do not always have to respond. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/28/neil-degrasse-tyson-ken-ham-aliens_n_5627239.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592 Ham, the president and CEO of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky., said in a July 20 blog post that humans should stop searching for extraterrestrial life because aliens likely don’t exist.

Feminism-2
The other day the defining of feminism was the topic. In that article I tried to show how the roots of feminism are not found in any Christian teaching but in evil.

#1. The 'a-ha moment' #9-- http://www.patheos.com/blogs/peterenns/2014/07/aha-moments-biblical-scholars-tell-their-stories-9-anthony-le-donne/ I’m not claiming that my 16-year-old exegesis was all that sophisticated.
