The Undiscovered Country
So, why talk about Star Trek? Well, I think Star Trek has a lot to say that we need to hear. In particular, I think it holds a great deal of interest from a Christian perspective. For me, looking at it with fresh eyes over the last few years has been a rewarding experience. Maybe […]
Is Smoking Marijuana Against God?
Marijuana use may be socially accepted by many, but it’s illegal in most states and countries. With such varied laws and public opinion, this leads to some confusion between social acceptance and law. How can something so socially accepted still be illegal?

How fun it must have been when Aunt Phyllis’ nephew, after traveling for days across the state for his once-every-two-years […]

WRESTLING WITH A VIOLENT GOD
Finding hope in the dark places of Scripture
“In the cities of the nations that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes…as the Lord your God has commanded you.
