Some Thoughts (and 6 Questions) about When to Move on After a Spouse is Unfaithful I am a Christian. That means radically different things to different people, so I better explain before some people stop listening because of how they interpret those 4 words. It is not a result of or outcome from a political…Continue reading When to Leave a Marriage – (Including 6 Questions) – Part I.

Considerations From Andrew Sullivan “America’s New Religion”… “Now look at our politics. We have the cult of Trump on the right, a demigod who, among his worshippers, can do no wrong. And we have the cult of social justice on the left, a religion whose followers show the same zeal as any born-again Evangelical. They…Continue reading Crowdmodern – A Worldview Stormfront – Part III

This ethic allowed the dominant worldview to accept – tolerate – other views and opinions and even practices that were in direct opposition to it!  The common Christian saying was to “love the sinner; hate the sin”, so that people who were living in opposition to the worldview were still to be loved! This powerful ethic…Continue reading Crowdmodern – A Worldview Stormfront – Part II

Let’s Talk About Voter Fraud I have some quick thoughts on this and some recommendations, especially for Christians. 1.  Democrats – I am personally not interested in hearing about outrage about undermining the sanctity of the election process from the Democrat party representatives.

I recently got to be the guest on the “following to lead” podcast and we talked about the truth of the afterlife.

Given the challenges, it is good for students, friends and parents to talk about some improvements. Unless they work hard against it, students are spending almost all day, every day, online and in their rooms. This is not a recipe for mental health. Here are some ideas to discuss with your college student… or, if…Continue reading College students are really struggling during Covid quarantine – part 2

College students are struggling in this era of Covid 19. I am not taking the time to look up much data, but a quick search indicated that my impression that college students, especially freshmen, are struggling to adapt away at college. This should come as no surprise, as there are several very challenging factors that…Continue reading College students are really struggling during Covid quarantine

Granted, as a pastor and a psychologist, I am a fan of the Johnson Amendment.  I am also concerned about this push for some kind of moral competition and, at the same time, moral equivalence. In other words, as a leader in a non-profit organization, I do not want to be responsible to integrate people’s political views…Continue reading We are Barbarians – Injustice Conversation

“Be still, and know that I am God.”  Psalm 46:10 Two of my friends and I were sitting on my back porch talking.  You may know Dr. Stan Ward and John Keeling; we did this each month, late in the evening, doing our best to feel like Lewis, Tolkien and the other guy meeting at the pub…Continue reading Are there Spaces that are Sacred?

Patoya wrote a letter to her church family in an effort to help shepherd them through many of the challenges loving Christians are trying to handle well!  I think her insights are valuable to us all: Hello family. I’ve been reflecting on a lot as of late. I thought I’d invite each of you into…Continue reading Guest Post – Christian Leader, PaToya Hall on “Race” Issues

Here is the honest truth, I see and celebrate your color. I believe in justice.  I want protests to be successful.  I want them to be clear and lead to positive results. I think a black man should be able to jog safely; I think a black person should be treated identically to a white…Continue reading Trying to See Color part V

A couple of years ago, I was inspired to try to understand the experience of my African American friends.  I heard example after example of personal experiences of their human dignity being affronted, their safety being challenged and sometimes their lives being threatened!  I was stunned. At about the same time, the phrase “Black Lives…Continue reading Trying to See Color part IV

…Second, this topic of ethnically based prejudice and abuse is important to me because I consider it the second great injustice of our age.  This is one of the two reasons that future generations will think of us as backwards and barbaric. The degree of racism of today will be considered stone-age thinking in the…Continue reading Trying to See Color part III

I want to learn to see your color. Decades ago, I asked a black friend of mine if the goal of being “color-blind” was actually a good thing.  I had read some of Dr. King’s perspectives, listened to Michael Jackson music (“I don’t want to spend my life being a color”) and because of my…Continue reading Trying to See Color Part II
