How Do You Treat God?
Francis Schaeffer said: ‘The Bible teaches that man is made in the image of God and therefore is unique. Remove that teaching, as humanism has done, and there is no adequate basis for treating people well.’ A friend put it another way—and it got a bit more personal: “We’re all made in the image of…

When Someone Says, ‘Praise the Lord!’
(The following is Theologian and philosopher Francis Schaeffer comment on the crowning statement of the 1647 The Westminster Shorter Catechism…) “The chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. It would be Scripturally false to leave out the second phrase, and to enjoy Him forever. The men who formulated this…

Drowning in a Sea of God
He made us the lamps for His light, not the salesmen or the customers of His fire. He fits no category, exceeds every attribution, defies all description except by His own words. He is infinitely more than the object of our study—He’s the subject of the universe itself. He is “the superlative of everything good…

The Perfect 3-Point Sermon
“If we lived in a state where virtue was profitable, common sense would make us saintly. But since we see that abhorrence, anger, pride and stupidity commonly profit far beyond charity, modesty, justice and thought, perhaps we must stand fast a little—even at the risk of being heroes.” —Sir Thomas More, from the play, A…

Who Claims the Body?
(A bit of wisdom from my dear friend Ken Needham) “While the surgeons and most of the nursing staff were excellent, there were a couple of exceptions—people who had some knowledge and experience who “knew what was best for me” but were not listening to me. It is MY body. I have inhabited it all…

“Behold I Am Wise!” (or not…)
“The proper study of the Christian is God. The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy which can engage the attention of a child of God is the Name, the Nature, the Person, the Doings, and the existence of the great God we call “Father”. It is a subject so vast that all our…

Cavorting in a Suicidal World
“Nothing can extinguish it. To the end of time it shall be there and shall always manifest itself, and men must never lose heart because of that. All [mankind’s ideas and struggles to create his own utopia] are absolutely worthless—the society in which utopianism is the great pursuit is the one that is about to…

Christian Duty in American Politics
“As Christians [in America], our challenge is to go back as close as we can to the Gospel and truly be the church. Increasingly, we’re likely to be a counter-culture. As that happens, we will be the last great defenders of reason, truth and human dignity, with the task of defending [the Faith] not just…
