Blinders and the Urban Left
Over the last 25 years, I advocated for absolute truth, Biblical standards, and family values. For 25 years, I fought the narrative coming from the mainstream media, the academic clerisy, and the leftists in government who told me that values just don’t matter anymore, that we “sure as hell don’t want” Biblical standards in our culture, and truth depends on what the definition of the word “is” is. They tell me to call this “progressivism.”
Dreaming in 2017
On our website (in the “About” section), we’ve told you that we’re working on a new course for the college entitled “Dreaming with Reality.” The course content is complete and is being adapted for culturewarcollege.com.
A Merry Christmas to All
From those of us involved in creating Culture War College this fall, we hope for you a Blessed Christmas season.
At Christmas: Love, It’s in Your Hands
I was three years younger than my brother who was a rising basketball star in High School and one free afternoon at my middle school we were playing a pick-up game with some friends and my middle school teacher and the JV basketball coach at the neighboring high school.
At Christmas: The Limits of Hope
If a “hope circle” defines the extent to which you have faith, then how big is your hope circle?
At Christmas: The “Stuff” of Faith
When I speak to Christ-followers, they will usually understand and “spot” me certain assumptions and positions. One usually startles them a bit. Faith is comprised of “stuff.”
At Christmas: Consider the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum
Scientists think they discovered the electro-magnetic spectrum, but God created it. And yet only a very narrow band of the entire spectrum is comprised of things we can see—visible light. What’s going on in the rest of it?
At Christmas: The Best Secret of All
I assert that contentment has been perhaps the most pursued objective of those who may not have the slightest clue about what it is. So many are looking for contentment and struggling to find or even define it.
At Christmas: Lean Forward in the Stream
It may take me years of standing in a trout stream with my fly rod, to catch the biggest fish. The scenery and reality of a beautiful day may entertain me in the interim, and there may be plenty of small fish caught along the way. But if I do not have the posture and attitude that I could catch a big fish on every cast, I may miss that divine appointment when it comes.
At Christmas: The Gospel is Offensive
Several elections ago, our state ballot included an initiative that confronted you with the question of whether a pre-born baby was “a person.” This personhood amendment was soundly defeated but you still had to vote—before God—and decide where you draw the line on personhood. Many didn’t vote on that amendment question. But, to not vote was a vote in itself. Just the fact that this issue appeared on the ballot was offensive to many who would have preferred not to be confronted with drawing the lines of life—before God, the extent to which God mattered to them.
