A Star Wars Smooch The newest movie in the Star Wars saga included a lesbian kiss scene. It was a brief scene at the end of the movie among two insignificant characters. And it’s precisely for it’s irrelevancy that I must comment. Intergalactic Intersectionality The newest of the Star Wars trilogy, under Disney’s direction, has…
CNN recently published quite an interesting article about contemporary Christian music. As a pastor and long-time worship director, a secular news station turning its eye toward the Christian music industry like a woke Sauron had all the trappings of a read I enjoy. It certainly didn’t disappoint. The article can be summarized as CNN’s lame attempt…
In this episode I critique Chris Pratt’s response to Ellen Page’s accusations that he goes to an “anti-lgbtq” church, and then I recommend your church sings “For the Cause” by the Getty’s. https://resistingthewinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/untitled-1.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | RSS

A Spiritual Hunch Lauren Daigle is another unfortunate (though not surprising) case study in compromised Christianity. Not long ago, Daigle appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show.

Adams State University is my alma mater. I still live in the town where it’s located, and I know members of the faculty and some of the students through my local church. I still care very much for the school, and want to minister to the campus. Last year I heard about an event the…
Balaam in the Old Testament is not admirable for many reasons. As a pagan who practiced divination, he is most notably known for enticing the Israelites to sin (Numbers 31:16). John’s commentary on him, in Revelation 2:14, states that Balaam “taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they…
If anything has happened recently to prove the Gospel is bipartisan and transcends the two-party political system of 21st century America, it is the recent drama over comments made by Milo Yiannopoulos. I have mentioned Milo before, and everything I say next was first said here by Douglas Wilson. However, in my defense, I did have these…
A CNN article broke out recently informing the world of the LDS church’s, as they put it, “monumental shift” on homosexuality. There has been a shift, even on the lds.org webpage has a banner indicating that the church has updated its resource list on “gay Mormons.” The new feature of the webpage, (mormonandgay) is a…
