All laws regulate morality.
Conservatism seeks to protect the idea that morality comes from God and then it keeps legislation focused on this priority.
More and more, conservatism has gone out to lunch with people that are really not, by definition, conserving. If you are an adult film performer or if you are a man who thinks he is a woman, you are not conservative. You are progressive. Truth matters, both in law and life, and more and more we are losing sight of what is real.

The family is the building block of society and it is under fire. The father, as the head of the household has been singled out by this culture to be removed from any influence and yet they are SO important. Here is a message from Joshua 24 I gave at Antrim BIC Church in Pennsylvania about why we need fathers to invest in families, and how that can change our communities and maybe even the world!

For the first time in decades, Cuban people en masse are rising up against the authoritarian Communist regime and demanding freedom, and they are being jailed and shot for it, like every other Communist regime has done. What does this mean for us in America?

The San Fransisco Gay Men's Chorus sings a song about how they are coming for your children and meanwhile people are burning down churches in Canada.

Wow, what a week.

I have a teenage daughter and honestly this world is a crazy place for her to grow up in so when I saw the parody video from Christian artist, Matthew West I literally laughed out loud. 

Then I tagged it to show my daughter later and by the time I came back, the video was deleted, because people were outraged that modesty was promoted? Seriously people, what?

How can we keep our way pure? By living according to God's word. - Psalm 119:9 (translation adapted for connotation of context)

I spent a lot of time in college at Joshua tree national park exploring, camping, climbing and just sitting in the creation of God marveling at all he has made.

If you haven't been to Joshua Tree it is like God took some rocks and just threw them all over the place. It is beautiful and sometimes hot and very much a desert. The one thing it doesn't have a lot of is water. Sometimes you can feel like that desert in your soul. You feel dry and alone and unable to go on, yet God has a plan for your life. 

Today's reading comes from Isaiah 35 and Oswald Chamber's book, My Utmost for His Highest.

I hope you are inspired to chase after God with passion and urgency as he begins to use you to grow his Kingdom.

Solomon is the wisest man to ever live and he teaches us something about current events. Sometimes you can't split the baby. Often we hear about the need to compromise to make everyone happy. However, especially in society and when dealing with baseline morality issues, we can't compromise. We have to stand our ground and insist that there is a difference between right and wrong. Truth can be known, even if unpopular and we have to, grace-fully, present this truth to culture.

Happy 4th of July!
I hope that you will be celebrating with your family and friends in the spirit of liberty and more importantly in the Spirit of the God who provides all our blessings.
Today, instead of looking at the present we are going to look to the past to inform not only how we got here, but also to give insight to how we can follow God in everything we do today.

JRR Tolkien was not only the prolific writer of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit series, he was a lifetime Catholic who also had the pleasure of leading CS Lewis to Jesus Christ.
The Tolkien Society, of which Tolkien himself was once president is celebrating his life with a series of essays including:
"Transgender Realities in The Lord of the Rings," 
"The Queer in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings," 
"Tolkien’s Dwarf-Women and the 'Feminine Lack,'" and "Destabilizing Cishetero Amatonormativity in the Works of Tolkien."

We have now reached a new level of insanity

There is a TON of talk about race lately.

And Jesus had run ins with race as well.
He approached these issues differently than most people are doing today.
I want to look at one of my favorite parts of Jesus life and that comes out of John 4.
This event holds just about everything you need to know about God and worship and Jesus and race and sin and judgment and love.

Right now, almost every news story I read has a racial component.
This is sad because we are supposed to see each other as image bearers of God first, and literally everything else second.

Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

So how did Jesus handle a tense situation?
