In 1984, one of the most influential movies of a generation came out – it led to thousands of young people digging pits in preparation to fight off the imminent invasion from Russia and Central America. It created something of a mindset that is probably the most noble thing about Generation X: we were all…Continue reading Wolverines!!! (that oughta get at least all of the Gen X’ers to read).
The Creation Debate – Part II
Both the “natural” sciences and theology are seeking the true statement. The purpose statement of both are completely integrate-able. In fact, there are many who have made a point of showing the obvious and perhaps necessary connections between good theological thinking and the roots of good scientific thinking. The two paradigms are not contradictory. For…Continue reading The Creation Debate – Part II
The Creation Debate – Part I
The Question of Creation When I speak as a Bible teacher and I open up the conversation for questions, I typically get questions in one of two directions – sex or science. Periodically, I travel and speak to a group and am introduced as an atheist (the listeners actually are in a skit in which…Continue reading The Creation Debate – Part I
New Big Bang Research – Part III
I wanted to add my final note and my sources that I cited here as well. Another note: In another Science Friday interview with Dr. Krauss (Jan 13, 2012 – Science Friday), Krauss confronts the question of “Why there is something rather than nothing.” Krauss makes the claim that the question of “ ‘Why is…Continue reading New Big Bang Research – Part III
New Big Bang Research – Part II
In an earlier interview, in a conversation about the beginning of the universe, one scientist made the claim that science has “made it clear that there is a plausible case that a universe like the universe we live in could result literally from nothing…” When Krauss said that “all of the energy that we see…Continue reading New Big Bang Research – Part II
New Big Bang Research – Part I
“It takes essentially nothing to create a universe.” Alan Guth Years ago, I read in a physics textbook a confession by a popular physicists (sadly, I cannot find the book or remember the author’s name) from the 1950’s. He remembered that the secular physicists of the time were very concerned as it was becoming more…Continue reading New Big Bang Research – Part I

The First Life
The First Life. Often, theistic views (design, creation, fine-tuning) are disrespected as somehow based in something irrational. I wonder. Let’s look at one small consequence of the alternative. Imagine the first life. The first life from lifelessness: Somehow a non-living thing came into the spark of life. Not sure how. So far under the most…Continue reading The First Life
Citizen of Heaven & of The U.S. – Part 6
Option 3 – The Medieval Roman era church and the Jewish Zealots worked to take over or to overthrow the worldly culture. This is also the modern efforts of Islam. This is what the church attempted starting in the 400’s and what the Roman church did. Christianity became the main factor of the culture. In time, kings…Continue reading Citizen of Heaven & of The U.S. – Part 6
Citizen of Heaven & The U.S. – Part 5
What are our options when faced, as The Church, in the midst of a culture in which the Worldview we espouse is seen increasingly as immoral? As we become unloved and despised for our beliefs, how do we respond? History has taught us several options. What I am writing, what I have started, is based…Continue reading Citizen of Heaven & The U.S. – Part 5

Incidentally, as a government teacher, I would note that this issue is much larger than just marriage; it has become the case with all rights. In the modern understanding of the progressive worldview, the government is the catalyst and creator of rights. The founders, and many modern conservatives, hold to the idea that all rights are…Continue reading Citizen of Heaven & The U.S. – Part 4
Citizen of Heaven & The U.S. – Part 3
The issue here is that I have never had to give thought to the role of government in marriage before, since, as mentioned above, it pretty much perfectly coincided with the Divine concepts. The main argument for the government being involved in marriage is based on the idea that the government’s job is to encourage…Continue reading Citizen of Heaven & The U.S. – Part 3
Social Justice – Part I
It is always my goal to reveal what is going on beneath the surface. Over the last few years, there have been a string of court cases and trials that have revealed the divide in the Western World in regard to Justice. Many Americans see the divide, sure enough, but they do not know what…Continue reading Social Justice – Part I
Heads Up – Some Blogs I’m On
Just in case you are interested, there are two blogs that I am on regularly. If you are not interested, I completely understand. Have a great day! One is the “In Between” Podcast – this is primarily targeted at members at South Spring Baptist, where I am lead pastor. For a long time, we have…Continue reading Heads Up – Some Blogs I’m On
Citizen of Heaven & of The U.S. – Part 2
In fact, for most of our history as Americans, it has been political suicide to FAIL to claim to believe in god… and for a long time, to FAIL to claim Christ as Savior. Being a religious person has rightly been a protected status; but I fear that at the political level, it has encouraged some very dishonest…Continue reading Citizen of Heaven & of The U.S. – Part 2
Citizen of Heaven & of The U.S.
I started this article about 5 years ago when I was under the distinct impression that the Worldview changes happening in the United States were going to put leadership in the federal government that would be actively anti-church. I was preparing my own thoughts and actions to have lines drawn in the sand that a biblically…Continue reading Citizen of Heaven & of The U.S.
Crowdmodern – a Worldview stormfront – Part I
Worldview stormfront coming By Rev. Chris Legg, LPC Ok, I have to admit that my ability to create the longest onramp in the world to a thought may be a problem. I apologize… BUT (sorry about undoing the apology) I honestly do not see how to jump straight to an issue without filling in the context……Continue reading Crowdmodern – a Worldview stormfront – Part I
A Christian Response to Halloween (my opinion) re-released
Psalms 118:24 “This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” I remember as a kid wandering around the neighborhood with other kids, all of us dressed in costumes, and going house to house greeting neighbors I rarely saw at other times… usually parents would come along –…Continue reading A Christian Response to Halloween (my opinion) re-released
The Sudden Online Crisis?
This week, there were several headlines. In the midst of them, I was only truly struck by one thought. Here is what came out: 1. There is an online industry that creates Billions in revenue per year. Billions with a “B”. That may create a white noise in your brain – that is the effect of “Big Numbers Psychology” issues. It is…Continue reading The Sudden Online Crisis?
The Psychology of Big Numbers
Psychology of Large Numbers. The psychology of big numbers is interesting. The government of the US has been depending on this for some time, now. Past our physical experiences, our brain kind of files all large numbers as “large” and leaves it at that. This can apply to very small numbers too. two very small amounts…Continue reading The Psychology of Big Numbers
