Last updated on November 18th, 2020 at 11:01 am I’ve been a little hesitant to post this as I take scripture seriously and approach it with respect. However, this just came out of my mouth the other day while having a conversation, and it keeps coming back to me. I personally make a point of…
Getting Away for a Bit
Maintaining our health involves more than exercising or making the right food choices. While both of those contribute to our physical and mental well-being, they’re not enough. Sometimes we need a break. I personally think that’s more important currently than ever before. We took a little break, but not many photos. Even so, I thought…
The Sin of Achan
I’ve been reading through the book of Joshua recently. Normally when I read Old Testament events regarding Israel, I don’t necessarily feel like they have a direct application today. Am I wrong? Maybe. I do think they are insightful into God’s character and valuable to understanding our faith. Chapter 7 of Joshua hit me differently.…
The Social Justice Gospel
The church is infected. The infection is an ideology based in Marxist thought that fundamentally opposed to the all-sufficient, saving work of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Like most things infected, it starts stinking if left untreated. Unbeknownst to me, the infection has been going on for years and the stench of it finally caught my…
At a Loss
I’m at a complete and total loss. The more I go to look into the nasty, devilish teachings of Critical Race Theory (CRT), the more I find it has infiltrated into an institution I’ve long affiliated myself with. The Provost and Sr. VP of Southern Seminary, an institution of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), claims…
Where to Start? Where Does it End?
We embarked on learning more about Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Intersectionality, especially how it pertains to the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and Resolution 9. The more we dug in, the more we learned this one instance is only a part of a much larger movement with many tendrils reaching far beyond what we could…
and We Wonder Why We Lose Them
I have 2 teens. I was telling them about this https://bereanresearch.org/lifeways-blasphemous-new-gen-z-bible-devo/ After I said the phrase Gen Z Bible Devo, they looked puzzled and asked what is devo? I told them it is short for devotional. Then I read this line: Since Day Uno there was Cap G. Big J was chillin with Cap G. And…
Where is Our Delight?
Man, this is so true. For my believing family, who hasn’t experienced ups and downs in closeness to the LORD and who hasn’t experienced the unmatched joy of life when every aspect of your life is dedicated to his service. Psalms 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of…
Critical Race Theory
Last updated on August 15th, 2020 at 08:40 amDerek and Ali discuss their early dive into how Critical Race Theory and the SBC interact. Difficult times we live in.
Publicly Rebuking Church Leaders?
I was researching a completely different topic when 1 Timothy 5:20 popped out at me today at lunch time. It’s talking about elders/leaders in the church. I always thought issues were addressed behind. Implications? Ali and I talked about it on the patio. Publicly rebuke those who sin, so that the rest will also be…
