Just imagine, you are in the desert, and you have walked all day and you are dying of thirst, you see a pool of water up ahead. It is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. You need the water, you are dying for the water. You are tired and hot and thirsty and you cannot wait to take a cool drink in the pool of paradise. You are exhausted, but you run up to the pool only to find that there ac...

If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides is mere flight and disgr...

And of course the Governor of PA vetos a bill keeping men out of women's sports. Finally we get to Bible where we look at the theological root of the trans assertion and why it is half-right, and ther...

What is Marriage? I know we have been bombarded by the question "What is a Woman" lately and to be fair, that is a supremely important question, but the next question that follows by extension is, "what is marriage?" If we cannot answer any of these fundamental questions as a society, we will not long actually be a functioning society. We need identity to communicate, to build...

Senator Elizabeth Warren doesn't like mothers or babies and apparently thinks pregnancy centers are some kind of medieval torture chamber where pregnant 'persons' go in and never return. Also, what is a pregnant person? Senators on the Hill have a conversation with a pro abortion law professor from UC Berkeley and the responses are... interesting. And finally, no one reads or believ...

Disney's Baymax robot meets a trans person while shopping for feminine products. Also, from a Disney cartoon, two animated male dinosaurs are pretending to have a family by taking care of a rock egg in a nest. The animated children decided to 'help' the gay dinosaurs by finding a surrogate egg donor to give to the gay dinosaurs so they can have a family, because biology, or science,...

Today on ChurchPublic, where we look at Current Events from a Christian Perspective: We are encouraged to eat bugs because apparently we are all living through the reality tv show Survivor.  In a related story in the Netherlands, cows are emitting too much, um, well gas so the farmers have to shut down their farms, but the farmers are not to happy about that. Coming back to America, in Arizona, le...

I pledge allegiance to the flag of... What? Why? Why do we pledge allegiance to a flag? What does that mean? And is it significant? Does the flag we fly make any difference to our beliefs or our worldview. It does, and the left knows this and is benefiting from it. We'll look at a story of a religious Catholic school that's in hot water for flying the wrong flag and why that matters to y...

ANOTHER landmark win from the Supreme Court for religious freedom! A coach who was fired for praying, mostly by himself, before the games, has been vindicated. The Supreme Court found that personal faith does not have to be hidden everywhere but in the dark corners of your home as the state and many people tell us these days. Though the school, the state, and even the largest Lutheran denomination...

Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Roe v Wade has got to... oh, nevermind it's already gone! In unbelievable news, Roe v Wade and its ugly stepchild Planned Parenthood v Casey have both been overruled and struck down. It was pointed out, if you are not yet 50 years old like me, this is the first week where Roe was not the backdrop of the cult of death that plagued this nation. This is truly unbelievable news th...

A tale of two navies, one hyper focused on making the sailor feel safe and warm and welcome and the other intent on world domination. If we were truly worried about winning a battle, which Navy would you want fighting for you? Just a question. Also, a "win" in the transgender sports arena. Maybe? Disney continues to go woke and broke. And finally, Drag Queen and King story hour in church...

For the first time in 150 years a Republican wins in South Texas running on a simple, but effective slogan of God, Family and Country. Pelosi again tells us how super duper all the way Catholic she is while promoting abortion with no limits.

Inclusion is Destruction I know that inclusion is the new buzzword alongside Diversity and Equity, but inclusion generally destroys the thing it invades. Inclusion does not empower, inclusion destroys. Expanding the definition of Marriage does not grow it, it destroys marriage. What does marriage even mean anymore? For all time, it was a man and a woman as a general rule. Yes there were some who a...

Any time this week or next we will hear the decision from the Supreme Court with the high possibility of overturning Roe v Wade and sending the adjudication of abortion back to the states. You will have some states that outlaw abortion period and then you will have some states that will pay for you to travel and stay and have an abortion up until the moment of birth. This ambiguity and loss of nat...

I love learning. I think learning is super important. I am constantly reading books and listening to philosophers and theologians and all manner of other more regular people discuss ideas and history and philosophy and theology. I studied the Classics of ancient Rome and Greece in undergrad and then got a Masters of Divinity in New Testament and Biblical Greek. I don't say all of that to toot...
