Three unprecedented events happened this week in Nashville. If I included my first Uber ride I would say there were four unprecedented events that happened this week. I’ll keep my thoughts upon the resolution to abolish abortion. First, I’m not aware of a time in SBC life where the messengers told a committee, “We want…
Grade School Math Did Not Prepare Me for This Unpredictable Day
Remember when grade school math moved from simple, 1+1=2, to word problems like this? “If I have four cookies and you take two of them, how many cookies do I have?” Other than my first issue of you suggesting you are taking some of my cookies I would still want more information before I could…
Whatever Happened to Sin
Here is a look at the social media discussion going on over at my public figure page following submitting a letter to the Twin Falls Public Library to request they consider the placement of Gay Pride displays.

Pray for Your Church
This past week was the annual National Day of Prayer. The first Thursday of the month of May is as much a holiday as Thanksgiving. The only difference is that no school was shut down, no bank was closed and the commercial world has not found a way to capitalize on the day. Which really…

Sin is Always Sin
