Hey, Calvary Fremont – Yesterday, my friend Pastor Lance Ralston of CC Oxnard listed a number of bills pending in the California legislature regarding abortion availability and public funding. These immoral bills should concern the Church. Now this could draw any number of comments, chief of which is, “The Church should stay out of politics,”… Read More »

Hey, Calvary Fremont – It’s been a rough few years for the Bad Boys of Ministry. Pastors who act like the Godfather are falling faster than Elliott Ness can reload his machine-gun. Since when did Vito Corleone become the example for those in ministry? The word ‘minister’ means ‘servant,’ yet a considerable number of men… Read More »

Hey, Calvary Fremont – It seemed like the darkest of times – It had been 400 years since the prophetic voice had been heard through Malachi; the iron boot of the Roman Empire trampled down the known world; the shadows of Greek philosophy left the mind unenlightened; the maze of pagan superstition choked the heart;… Read More »

The culture’s cheapening and commodifying of sex has swept over us like waves of multiple tsunamis which have erased so many of the previous moral landmarks leaving us on terra incognito. Thus the outrage at the sexual shenanigans of men like Weinstein and Lauer and Cosby caught me by surprise. I was caught unawares that… Read More »
Soap Operas Teach Biblical Morality
I was in a grocery store line many years ago and TV Guide’s cover advertised an article entitled, “Soap Operas Teach Biblical Morality.” I thought that was about the dumbest thing I’d ever heard. Soap Operas are all about prima donna drama, selfishness, fornication, adultery, lying, murder, cheating, greed, hatred, bitterness, personal revenge, smoldering resentment…… Read More »
Toddler Worship
If you haven’t done it, you’ve seen it. Mom or dad can’t get one year old Billy to eat what’s good for him (strained carrots/baby cereal, etc.) and so they have to fake him out – they have to make him think that what he really hates is really good. And, of course, it is… Read More »
The Indestructibility of Christian Marriage
Data Quoting: After months of revived debate over divorce and its increasing acceptance among Americans, a new study affirmed born-again Christians are just as likely as the average American couple to divorce.
