The Blasphemy of Bethel
As I typed out the title to this article I could instantly sense the eyerolls, sighs, and grumbles of "Ugh! Not more talk about Bethel Church! We are SO TIRED of the "judgy" complaining about their music!" While I have in the past given various words of warning on social media against Bethel Church, I … Continue reading The Blasphemy of Bethel
The Current Crisis of Christian Deconstruction
Deconstruction. It's a word that is becoming all too well-known in Christianity. And not in a good way. For those not regularly reading articles online or watching YouTube videos, this word may not have much meaning to you.

“Should I let my child participate in a school field trip to a Buddhist temple?”
I am a member of several Christian social media groups. Some pages are for men and women, and some are just women's groups. I enjoy reading and getting encouragement in forums with ladies who are like-minded in faith. These are not the typical women's pages that promote fluff and talk about issues in the style … Continue reading “Should I let my child participate in a school field trip to a Buddhist temple?”

I would say the majority of Christians are familiar with the version of 2 Corinthians 6:14 which says: Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership … Continue reading Scripture Spotlight: Unequally yoked?
Theological Word of the Week: Apologetics
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com I am starting a "Word of the Week" series. Every week I will introduce a theological term or phrase that one would likely encounter either while studying, or watching theologically sound preaching or teaching. It will be a fairly concise blog post every week, but enough to give the reader … Continue reading Theological Word of the Week: Apologetics
Judge Not?
Has anyone noticed that anytime a Christian makes a statement on social media regarding the sin or questionable teaching of a popular public figure with a Christian platform, that almost without fail, it will be followed by some form of this response: *IT ISN'T OUR PLACE TO JUDGE! This accepted viewpoint is based on the … Continue reading Judge Not?
