Maybe God Is Trolling Us

I am quite certain that most people will dislike this post, but for the few who see what I’m saying, I hope you appreciate the new angle I may open for you. First, a digression. I am an unabashed troll on Twitter and Facebook (and sometimes on Scott Sumner’s blog). However, I would argue that […]

Why Some Christians Oppose “Globalism”

I realized recently that secular people with little familiarity of Christianity (particularly fundamentalist Protestantism) might not understand the suspicion that so many have of “globalism” or “the globalists.” With Brexit, Trump, etc., this issue has more political relevance now than at any time I can remember.

That Saved a Wretch Like Me

Is the God of the Bible a Tyrant?

My talk to the Libertarian Christian Institute.

Your Father Knows You Need These Things

I recently had some personal experiences and found this passage very satisfying. (It was the topic of the Bible study I do in Lubbock and it really came in handy.) So I searched YouTube to see if I could find a nice video, maybe an animated Bible story or something, but instead I found this […]
