At the core of everything I do, I am a thinker and philosopher. The world seems incredibly complex thanks to us humans, but in reality, when you clear away all the duplications and misconceptions due to prejudice and exclusive perception, the world is actually definable, repeatable, and predictable.

I hope you'll enjoy my musings on the world around us. I do my best to stay away from pre-conceptions and unprovable ideological beliefs, but you may see some poking through every once and a while, so I apologize in advance.


Conservative Feminism

You've seen a Hijab? Also a Burka? Freeze those in your mind. We always think of feminism as a progressive thing... but it's not. It's driven by pride and the desire to control, and this is not based on a left/right economic belief model. Conservative women do the same thing. Rememeber this verse? That's the Greek flushed out. God provides to each of us a portion, and those are our jurisdiction. We are not to seek after…

Secrets From The Spirit As We Walk With Him

I've always wrestled against God being any form of genie, but in the last few years, I've been trying to process verses like this without handling them like modern Evangelical Christianity's attempts to tie up every loose end. Instead, my goal is an attempt to see what aspect of the nature of God they reveal. For the most part, the impressions I got of God for decades was that He was silent and that any external, non-Scriptur…

Why Christians Hate Feeling Sexy

Sounds Silly, Right? I wish this was a BabylonBee article, but it's not. QUESTION: Do you ever feel sexual urges outside of looking at someone of the opposite sex? Imagine your mind being randomly drawn to something that envokes such feelings as you are working or trying to do school. You feel your body being complelled to handle or manage these drives, and all too often, the drives are just a nuisance or a liability to what you …

Be Free From Pornography - But Not In The Way You Think

Pornography is a hot word in many circles. It means everything and nothing, and is usually seen as a source of evil. Let's start off by defining a truth:   “   No man can serve two masters. Matthew 6:24   This goes for any addiction... because that's what pornography is usually referring to. …

Common Sense: Humans Are Humans With Or Without Legislative Backing

There is no inclusive logical or rational standard based on scientific evidence that can de-humanize a human child in the womb that also will not dehumanize humans elsewhere. This is because humans are humans, life is life, and viability either is or it is not. Those who still choose to seek out such excuses are infected with the ideology of relativism, instead of working through the world we know based on its definable and approachable s…

The Degradation Of Human Enlightenment: Embracing The Illusion Of Groups Over In...

When you find yourself standing for group-privilege over logical thought, you have officially refused to mature psychologically. At birth, humans deal with everything they discover but are not positively engaged with, in a group/class abstraction. Inherently, we are wired to categorize what we perceive. This allows us to continue to seek out new knowledge without getting too far into the weeds, because we dump data into boxes. At a certai…

You Are Not In Love

Basically, most people aren't in love, and actually, despise it as a weakness when they have the opportunity to show it. We are a generation of narcissists that crave approval to ratify our identities and perceptions. Any such identity violations are seen as an attack against our humanity, and thus anti-human. As love falls into this category, most people are too immature and emotionally dependant on their egos/pride to experience it. …

Rejecting The Left: The Importance Of Common Goals

I'm on the side of conservatives AND liberals -- not the left. No shared goals. Why?  Conservatives and liberals agree that people are people and that we all, at an individual level cause harm. It's at that individual level we should be managed -- hence the judicial side of the government. The left believes just specific groups are responsible for social harm, based on the ideas they share, and thus they all should be id…

Encouragement Vs. Condemnation

Encouragement vs. condemnation. How's your heart? Not specifically about sharing social media posts, like this video details, but about what we say about each other. It often seems easy to sound supportive of nice people, but what about those who offer a bit of a challenge based on their dispositions? Do we criticize their faults, thinking our judgment will cure them? Or do we love them, challenge them, and be the friend someone like th…

Are You Teachable?

Are you teachable? The last 15 years have been a whirlwind of growth for me, and the foundation of it has been God opening my eyes to receive rebuke and wisdom from those positioned to be my enemies. You can learn wisdom from even the most hardened criminal, so never buy into the idea all your teachers need to be puritanical or hyper-moral. If that is the case, your idols will eventually be destroyed as God works to purify your perspectiv…

Managing Design Violations In A World Where Sin Has Been Paid For

The Big 10 Out From Under the Law There are certain design-violating activities we should steer clear from because they do not convey the love of God that looks to increase human flourishing and care for sick, the fatherless and the widows, as God speaks of in Isaiah 58, James 1:27, etc. These are actions we should avoid, because they do not represent the love of God and His righteousness. But, there is a reason God sent Jesus to ear…
