Modern Day Christianophobia

Hatred of Christians; Embracing Christianophobia

America has changed in recent decades. From a country where as much as 96% of the population believed in God to a country where half of young people identify as non-religious or Atheist. This metamorphosis of culture has also seen a precipitous increase in Christianophobia, a true hatred of Christian people. Evidence of this could be seen, once again, in the priority assigned to “news stories” and opinions expressed in articles and posts, by Google in first-page search results. It was the death of  the Christian TV personality Pat Robertson on June 8, 2023, that provided more evidence that those who control the information and messaging that people search for, and those who create content and write “news stories,” editorials and opinion pieces, all share a visceral hatred of Christian …

Why I Believe in Soul Sleep

There are not many topics in Christianity that are “controversial.”  The reason is that the Bible is considered God’s inspired word; or God-breathed. For there to be any controversy, a person would have to not believe God’s own inspired word. The more likely disagreements in Christianity might come from criticism of denominations that are more legalistic, or those adding rules and rituals on top of of the core tenets of the Christian faith. Yet, when I have brought up my belief in soul sleep over the past year to some Christian friends, it went over like a lead balloon. Most Christians are taught that they will go to Heaven a second after they die. This is a nice thought and many don’t want any reason to think differently. But, the …

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ

Christianity is very simple; it’s not complicated. It’s not rituals or memorization or how much money you give to a church. It doesn’t require you to be an official member of a church. There is no need to over-complicate Christianity. In Acts 16:31, the Apostle Luke tells us: “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” This was what the Apostle Paul and Silas told the jailer after the jailer asked them: “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” This is how uncomplicated Christianity actually is. You do not have to memorize every word of the Bible or responses to a pastor that are a part of a particular denomination’s rituals. You just have to believe in Jesus and tell …

What You Don’t Understand

There is more you don’t understand; more that I don’t understand, than what we do understand. That is a truth in Christianity. We often forget that we are mortal human beings with limited knowledge and limited abilities. Many people don’t fully embrace or understand this as a truth in Christianity and as a result we have people who are Atheists. Our limited understanding and abilities set us apart from God and His supernatural being. There are many things that God can do and that God and those in Heaven understand that we do not. God’s supernatural presence is not a part of a human’s capability to square with anything in their understanding or with any limit on their own abilities. Much like understanding human will power; this is something that …

America Needs God

In Psalm 33:12, the Bible says; “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance” In the 60s and 70s, 96% of Americans believed in God. Today, that number is much smaller. We have seen mass destruction of property, mass theft and mass assaults on innocent people. We have seen the killings and shootings of police officers, as we have recently seen in Las Vegas and Santa Cruz, California. The Santa Cruz County sheriff’s deputy, Sergeant Damon Gutzwiller, had a small child at home and his wife is pregnant with a second child. Both children are now without a father. Please pray for his wife and family. An environment of anti-police hatred took his life. This atmosphere of hatred …

Easter; Remember the Reason

Jesus died on the Cross, was buried and rose on the third day. If there was any doubt that he was who he said, then that doubt was removed as so many saw him hang on the cross, his body laid in the tomb, and then 500 saw him after he rose again. He is Risen. For those who accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, their sin was been wiped clean and they can live with Jesus in Heaven for eternity. It is the greatest gift we can receive and Easter celebrates that fact. Remember the reason for this holiday. It’s not about bunnies and eggs.

Pray for God’s Protection

During 9/11, many people who were not otherwise very spiritual people cried out to God. They knew that His power and grace and supernatural abilities was the only thing that could save them. Many, who prayed, were saved. Many people in other critical and life-threatening situations turn to God and pray and are saved from harm. Today, the world is in this position. The Coronavirus (COVID 19) is a threat to all humans. It has sickened and killed people in nearly every age group. It has killed Millennials right along with seniors. It has left many who have survived with lung damage. There is no treatment and there is no vaccine presently. Unlike the seasonal flu, that makes us defenseless against it, except for self-isolation and other measures. There is …

The Importance of Knowing Jesus

There is a Christian meme which states that “The only thing that is really important is that your name is in the Lamb’s Book of Life.” I was reminded of this yesterday when my Dad passed away. When I was growing up, he was one of those people who attended church twice a year; Easter and Christmas Eve. He had grown up in a Christian home and I still have memories of my grandfather sitting in his favorite chair reading the Bible every time I would visit. I knew my Dad must have accepted Christ as a child, and been baptized, but I didn’t know for absolute sure. That is a troubling thought for a Christian. The Bible tells us repeatedly that we must have accepted Jesus as Lord and …
