Lest you think I’m only hard on the pro-Roe movement, here’s my biblical worldview aimed straight at the pro-life movement. Over the past few weeks, I’ve watched dismayed as some in the pro-life movement—even friends—seem to be spiking the football over the possibility that Roe v Wade gets overturned. The Supreme Court should never have […]

Continuing my sidebar of the New Covenant world and the topic of abortion, yes, God gave us life. And yes, God-given freedom is meant to be used to do good. Sexual freedom may feel like liberation to women who have bought the “have-it-all” assertions of feminism, but in reality, it’s destructive to culture…to the family…and […]

The pro-Roe movement wants a choice and if Roe is headed back to the purview of the States, there will be more than one State to let women freely choose. There’s no need for doomsday scenarios, terrible logic, or waving coat hangers wildly at the Supreme Court by young women who are as uninformed as […]

To those in the pro-Roe movement, Roe v Wade represents freedom (specifically reproductive freedom and sexual “liberation” for women), but to those in the pro-life movement that freedom is at the expense of life for the baby who can’t be seen except with a pregnancy test and a high-powered microscope. But God sees. Someday we […]

Christians, such as I, see that we’re living in a New Covenant world. One of grace, freedom, love, obedience to Christ, and proclamation of the Gospel. They are all facets of the New Covenant world. This New Covenant world has deep roots before the Old Covenant and even back to Eden when God gave Adam […]

I beg your indulgence as I branch the New Covenant idea to venture into political territory today and for the next few installments. It’s important or I wouldn’t do it. The decision on Roe v Wade was issued on January 22, 1973. For any woman born in 1960 or after, it’s been part—even though controversial—of […]

What do you think of when you hear the word “covenant”? In my biblical worldview, it is a core rock-solid promise with a gentle wrapping of love and boundaries for safety, and security. It has positive vibes all around it. It’s unconditional love and always a good thing. God’s covenants were special because God establishes […]

The old way had been in effect since Genesis. It was a dead way. Animal sacrifices over and over and over because sin flowed non-stop from a sin nature we inherited from Adam (and Eve), the first sinner(s). The old way was designed to remind us that the “wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). […]

Until Resurrection Day, death had the final say. I wonder if Satan chortled an evil chortle in Eden as he thought he’d outsmarted God. Maybe thinking God had made a pivotal error of promising, even threatening mortality if Adam (and Eve) ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, though it was […]

On Easter Sunday, I went to a local beach with my parents for a sunrise service to celebrate God’s making all things new in the resurrection of Christ. A highlight for me was watching the sun rise in the east as the full moon set over the Gulf of Mexico. It made me wish I […]
