John Lennox & Unbelievable? Unbelievable? is doing a U.S. tour, and audio from a Q & A session was posted online. In this audio, much time is spent by the panel members teeing off on Calvinism. For an more thorough discussion, follow this link. I would like to focus only on one comment from the…
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…
A Festivus for the Restofus I saw a trend on Twitter for “Festivus” and discovered that Festivus is a made up secular holiday (which apparently finds its origin in Seinfeld). Festivus is strategically placed the day before Christmas Eve, and it is supposed to be a time for secularists to vent their grievances. And I…
In this episode I discuss the question of whether or not churches have the responsibility to make visitors feel welcome when they visit and I recommend the Christmas song This is War by the Modern Post. https://resistingthewinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Make-feel-welcome-war.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | RSS
CNN recently published quite an interesting article about contemporary Christian music.

Avengers: Endgame broke the box office these last couple weeks, becoming one of the highest grossing films of all time. Given its massive popularity, I felt the need to write this review. However, I am going to address this movie differently than I have reviewed the other Marvel movies. I am partly doing this because…
The New York Times is no bastion of conservative, Christian journalism, and they set out to reinforce that Easter 2019. Nicholas Kristof published an opinion article interviewing Serene Jones about the resurrection of Jesus. Below I walk through the interview point-by-point, but in case you don’t have the patience for that, I decided to front…
Facts don’t care about your feelings. That is the tagline made popular by Ben Shapiro, a well-known political analyst. He is Jewish (religiously and ethnically), and is very conservative politically. Shapiro heads up The Daily Wire, an organization filled with helpful political commentary from a conservative perspective. One of his more recent hires was an already…
Church is Dead Church as we know it is over. Church is dead. That summarizes the introductory paragraph of an article submitted by Fox News which has been making some rounds in the social media universe. In Nietzsche-esque fashion, David Adamson announces a new vision for local churches in America. Nothing about the article suggests Adamson…
Be warned: There will be spoilers in this review, although they will be mild. Proceed with caution. I saw the new Marvel movie, and it was about as expected. Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Good: Entertainment Value The movie was entertaining at the grass root. The costume and makeup was…
