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
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
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
I thought I would update those who read to know, if interested, how to pray for me regarding some upcoming peaking events.

A few years ago, Joshua Harris – author of “I Kissed Dating Goodbye,” did offer more details: My heart is full of gratitude. I wish you could see all the messages people sent me after the announcement of my divorce. They are expressions of love though they are saddened or even strongly disapprove of the…Continue reading “What’s up with “Famous” Christians “Deconstructing” their Faith? – Part 2
What is up with Famous Christians “deconstructing” their faith? Over the last few years, there have been several famous Christians who, using all kinds of language to describe it (exvangelical, deconstruction, progressing, evolving, etc.), have walked away from their faith in Jesus Christ… to one degree or another. Why? First off, I think one of…Continue reading What’s Up with “Famous” Christians “Deconstructing” their Faith?
No one is hiding the ball here.

Laws that make it illegal “for example,…Continue reading LA Times Article on Abortion
Do we Remember them or Honor them? Should this person go into the “Honor” file or the “Remember” file? Remember: If we choose to remember the person, we would limit them to specific things we might: Teach about the complexities of history in history classes & texts, put statues, etc. in museum type locations. This is…Continue reading Dr. Seuss, schools and cancel culture. I have a serious idea (not kidding) – Part 2
Ok, go back and look at those questions – I know that those questions are not directly from the Bible but I think they take hold of the biblical concepts and dictates… and honestly, those 6 (ok, I know it is more like 20 altogether) questions are really for people who have already experienced the…Continue reading When to Leave a Marriage (Including 6 Questions) – Part III
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
Is it true that Jesus was “admittedly was not perfect” as CNN correspondent claimed? Don Lemon has been a CNN correspondent since 2006. His religious views are unclear, though he has claimed to believe in a higher power. He grew up being sent to a Catholic school by his Grandmother but refers to himself (in…Continue reading Is it true that Jesus, “admittedly was not perfect” as CNN correspondent claimed?
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

Taking Down Statues of Jesus In the last few weeks, several people have begun to expand the call to remove statues from Confederate icons to all kinds of other people. I am tempted to comment here on the concerns that many had at first – the slippery slope argument: “once the statues start coming down,…Continue reading Time to Take Down Statues of Jesus?
…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
Consumer Mindset One of the greater dangers to honoring preferences when we are considering switching churches is that it give us a consumer mindset within the Body of Christ rather than a Servant Mindset. The Church on Earth is a servant Incarnation. We come to serve (and worship – hence the name) … and constantly being…Continue reading How and When to Switch churches – part 10! (and final chapter)
Notice, this was more than a mere preference. This was a priority. The first kind that I think is an appropriate time to change local churches, other than the Basics changing, are Family Priorities.
