Why Does It Seem Like Everyone Has Lost Their Mind?
Over and over again throughout the last few years I have noticed an extraordinary amount of people I know who assert that it seems like our society has lost its collective mind. In some cases, this can be overblown because there are many in our culture who frankly are highly intelligent individuals living in an incredibly biblical manner, to act like they don’t exist is to ignore reality. However, I do believe that those who see a lack of logical, biblical, and clear-headed thinking are on to something. Now, you might be wondering why I as a theologically minded writer care to address this issue? Simply put, I think the issue of a lack of level-headed thinking is indicative of two worldview issues.

The Compassion of Christ
The Gospel accounts of our Lord’s life allow us to see the perfection of Christ as He walked this earth. One of the spectacular qualities that we see in the Lord is His compassion, which should be a challenge for us all as we are called to be His disciples. Entering the Gospel of Luke, we begin to see the Lord early on in His ministry proclaiming the purpose for which He came:
Hiding Amidst The Clouds of Uncertainty
The hot rays of sun would pound down upon the concrete, as I would stand gun in hand, ready for the competition to begin. The 100-degree days of scorching heat with high humidity, not a cloud in the sky, and no wind at all are so intense that once a young man tragically dropped to the ground as we were all involved in the competition. You see, back in the years when I competed as a clay target shooter, I absolutely loved the heat of the summer months. Why, you ask, did I like such days? Was it because I totally lost my mind? The reason I liked such days was that the sun shone the brightest providing the most amount of clarity to see the target of any time of the year. It was uncomfortable, even grueling at times, but the ability to shoot in the prime season with phenomenal clarity was too much to pass up. Nearly all of my greatest wins came in such conditions as these, conditions where you would literally drink over a gallon of liquid in a day merely to try to stay hydrated.

Why is Metaverse Church Continuing in Popularity?
commanded us to take physical actions like partaking of the Lord’s Supper, showing pure familial love towards one another, and praying for each other. It is His Word which has declared we are to sing praises to Him and sit under biblical preaching by gifted men. These things require the presence of the local church. You cannot have a digital baptism or Lord’s Supper. Furthermore, the church is not called to simply parrot the newest trends of the world. If the world wants to have meetings via the metaverse, that does not mean the local church should start buying up virtual reality goggles to jump on the bandwagon. We follow Christ, not the world. Pragmatic churches that hold the world, not Scripture as their ultimate authority, are not true churches. The true church is the pillar and buttress of the truth seeking the glory of the Lord (1 Timothy 3:15).

Christianity, Abortion, and The Duty To Stand For The Sanctity of Life
My sincere question for Dr. Keller and those like him is to ask you point-blank, do you or do you not believe we have a duty as believers to stand for the sanctity of human life at all stages? Scripture is abundantly clear on this issue. I for one will stand for the sanctity of life calling upon the government to bear the sword for the murder of a human being from fertilization all the way through each and every season of life. That is called consistency, because biblical teaching is always firmly stable

Gardening For A Sustained Lifestyle
chemical pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides do not have a place. Instead of that, natural pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers are put into place as healthy alternatives.On our farm, our main supply of fertilizer is compost and rotten manure. When we have trouble with pests and diseases, we look to natural cures to the problem. Many times, the old maxim is true. ‘An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.’ Oftentimes a preventative measure will do so much more than trying to fix the problem.
