The sin of personal peace and affluence

Toward the end of his life and last of his published books, Francis Schaeffer began to argue against the attitude of “personal peace and affluence.” A man who had dealt with the hippie culture head – a culture of rebellion against ‘the system’ and plastic culture – lamented over what he saw occurring in the … Continue reading »

Homosexuality and Christianity

The ruling in San Francisco a few weeks ago has once again brought homosexuality in the public to the forefront. Should homosexuals be allowed to marry or not? Is it a civil rights issue or a state issue? Is homosexuality even wrong? In Christianity many Christians are either shying away from the issue or becoming … Continue reading »

“Oh, a tract instead of a tip…thanks…”

One of the joys of college life is that you rarely, if ever, have time to get an actual job. Thus, you are stuck to getting jobs where you often rely on people’s generosity in tips in order to get by (if anyone in the Fort Worth area would like to offer me a job … Continue reading »

Deconstruction – the idea fails simply because of how it’s named. For something to be deconstructed it must first be constructed. That is to say, before something can be torn down and rebuilt, it must be proven to be something that was built up to begin with and not inherent to the system.

A site worth visiting

My friend has just begun his own blog. I would encourage all the readers of my blog to visit his as he is a much better writer and a deeper thinker than myself (not that it takes a lot to accomplish that).

The comfort of God’s sovereignty

The other day I heard an advertisement on the radio for a group of psychics here in Fort Worth. They promised accurate readings that can’t be found from other psychics in the area or on the phone. I laughed and made fun of it – how in the world could anyone believe that stuff? I … Continue reading »

The Dark

The darkness refuses to lift In the deep of this valley I cannot seem to sift Through all my countless folly The troubled sea will not calm Inside this troubled heart This injury has no healing balm For a remedy I know not where to start I want to become bitter against You To blame … Continue reading »
