This piece will be in several sections and includes some of my explorations this past week and what I’ve been learning. Basically, I’m going to link information and commentary for those who deeply care about remaining in the arena of sound, biblical doctrine and avoiding associations and “discipleship/conversionship” by modern-day heretics and those in the Church bent on promoting a variety of deconstructionist ideas (of both a soteriological and political nature). I want to start by recommending the following talk...

Book Review: “Reckoning With Power” by David Fitch

February 24, 2024
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Linguistics and Language Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

Fitch begins the introduction to his heretical work with two basically-flawed premises that there are “only two types of power in the world” and that “God’s power is never coercive.” “I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes, please put up with me! I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was...

Friendsgiving: The WOKE Virtue-Signaling Protest of the Traditional Family

Linguistics and Language Series, Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

The purpose of this piece is to raise awareness about linguistics and how new cultural practices form. It is my hope that if we can recognize the pattern, purpose and means of infiltrating ideologies and values in one specific context, then we can better recognize trending shifts–and that which is behind some innocuous-sounding changes–in other contexts and especially, in the Church. It is not my goal to pass judgement on whether you or someone you know engages in “Friendsgiving” of...

The Problem With Being ‘So So GRATEFUL’

November 21, 2023
/
Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

On any given day if we delve deeply enough, some millennial somewhere is tweeting, blogging or Insta-influencing some word salad about how they are “so so GRATEFUL.” What on earth might one find problematic with this, you might ask. Well, read on. But the short answer is, it is hypocrisy–plain and simple. Sure, there may be some exceptions to my general observation and formed beliefs on this matter. But if the idea of this seems new or foreign to you,...

Weaponized Empathy, Oppression and Social Justice (Deconstructionism Deconstructed Part II)

June 6, 2023

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

Passing along another worthy commentary dissecting and parsing current social justice theory as many (like myself) previously thought it to be versus what it actually is. I came across a talk by this woman last night on YouTube which was very good and prompted my sharing of WILL YOU LIE FOR OTHERS? I then subscribed to her channel and this talk came up today. I admire how capable she is of rational, critical thinking and calm, methodical presentation. Highly recommend...

The Religious Architecture of Critical Race Theory

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

For some, this post may not be popular and may be met with a knee-jerk reaction to the title. I ask those who are concerned with both justice (of all sorts) and truth to bear with me. I also ask that those with such interests even go the extra mile–if you are one to listen to podcasts and especially those that might challenge one’s current understandings–and listen to this one. I always find Benjamin Boyce’s various interviews quite interesting. This...
