I will post a few observations on what is being reported as a “revival” at Asbury University. These will be bullet point observations for personal consideration of what can/should at least be considered as something that is happening at a few (as of today) universities. Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh on me. To…
Church Consulting Idolatry
In a capitalistic society, every field is an opportunity. I get this, but I have a personal dislike for how church consulting is approached. Full Disclosure: What I am addressing here no longer concerns me in that I no longer have a voice at the table. Some will think it bad form on my part…
Genesis

Tell Me The Story
A gospel preacher in rural Colorado would faithfully preach at every preaching post God would give him. He was not only my only preacher growing up, he was my dad. God used that circuit-riding preacher to plant the gospel in my life. I had the privilege to sit down with the Church and Family Life…
Open Letter to My Southern Baptist Kinsmen
Dear brother pastors, This letter is intended to give a short explanation of a long conversation my beloved church has been in for over a year-and-a-half.

I am running for Idaho Senate on the November 8 ballot as a Constitution Party Candidate against “common sense conservative” Representative Linda Hartgen. I’m Paul Thompson and our pre-born neighbors need you to vote for me. If…

Social Justice, Communism, Critical Race Theory… A Way to Destroy A Nation
There is a longer conversation to have here than I’m going to lay out today. Of interest to me here at the moment is the forecasted danger of Social Justice and Critical Race Theory within the church. I simply want to put this here as an early warning of a grave sickness within the Southern…
Are the Students in Danger?
This past week a school teacher in the Twin Falls School District in Twin Falls announced the reasons behind his not renewing his teaching contract. In 2016 the TFSD updated its Title IX policy to include LGBTQ pronouns and behavioral practices. This happened quietly and has not been pressed, but the atmosphere is changing according…
