The Looming Danger of Transhumanism
Most individuals I run across are familiar with the term “transgenderism” as referencing the belief that one can change their gender. Clearly, as an individual who affirms Scripture, I would repudiate that idea. Another devastating movement arising that fewer are aware of is that of transhumanism. This word is hefty, but the goal is simple, it “is a way of thinking about the future that is based on the premise that the human species in its current form does not represent the end of our development but rather a comparatively early phase.”1 Putting it simply, transhumanism is concerned with the idea of being something beyond human at some point in the future.

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.
What is The Purpose of Deconstruction?
What is the purpose of deconstruction? It is not truth, it is not finding absolute meaning, rather, it is the “indeterminate” search for the “impossible.” Basically, deconstruction is the endless quest to demolish the idea of absolute truth and find the greatest number of possibility of meanings. It is not about a quest for truth, but the very eradication of the idea.
Drink Deeply At The Well of Biblical Theology
A while back on the blog I wrote an article about the biblical necessity for Christians to think deeply (add link). That article focused on showing the importance of Christians using their noggins, however, today I want to actually look at the practical nuts and bolts of understanding how to dive into biblical theology. Now, that phrase “biblical theology” is important to understand as the starting place and we need to think about two different points. First, there is what I would expositional or exegetical theology. To be clear, all theology should be exegetical, meaning that all theology should be derived from the Scripture. However, by using this phrase I am getting at the idea of seeking to understand a certain section of Scripture focusing on it alone. You might take the book of Philippians working through each portion of that book multiple times before moving into a different area of the Bible in your personal study. The time you spend studying would probably consist of actions like outlining the book as a whole, marking specific verses, making note of changes in the flow of the book, and praying through the book as well. You would be purely locked in on that one objective of a thorough comprehension of the book of Philippians, which is one component of biblical theology.
