For the past few weeks I have been teaching Tactics in Defending the Faith by Greg Kokul of Stand to Reason to the men at a Bible study I attend on Tuesday mornings. It has been really cool watching the men get into it and be engaged in conversation about how to use these tactics... Continue Reading →
Remembering September 11, 2001
It's hard to believe it's been 23 years since that day this country stopped and gazed upward and on our television sets watching thousands die from multiple attacks on our country. I had just moved to Iowa with my fiancรฉ in June with the hope of starting a new life together in a much more... Continue Reading →

I later found that the... Continue Reading →

It is necessary that we view this in light of the Bible and... Continue Reading →
Knee-Jerk Reactions
In the previous article, The Pagans Are Acting Like Pagans Again, we tackled some serious issues regarding the what God's Word says about idolatry and balance between the First Amendment, Freedom of Speech, and Freedom of Religion with the honoring of the Lord in the midst of a temporary Baphomet statue erected at the Iowa...

The Pagans Are Acting Like Pagans Again
Scrolling through Facebook the other morning I came across this picture and read that the Satanic Temple of Iowa had put up a display of Baphomet (Lucifer) to celebrate this year's Christmas holiday. My first knee-jerk reaction to the blasphemous statue was: "The pagans are acting like pagans again," which was a popular soundbite during... Continue Reading →
