New Blog

For anyone who is interested, we have created a new, personal blog. Our business blog has tidbits about our business and our lives out here in the country, but the new one, America: Sin Nation, deals strictly with what we view as being the downgrade of the American culture.

Actually, it's not the culture that is downgrading, but Christendom - the church - as a whole that has lost its moral edge.

So, while "evil men... shall wax worse and worse," and we shouldn't expect anything different from them, it is surprising to see the church going to sleep and neglecting to call sin, "sin."

I know that these topics are not as light-hearted as our previous posts, but I believe that there are some drastic measures called for in light of these tumultuous times.

Thanks for reading.

The message every Christian youth needs to hear

Probably nobody reading this has ever even heard of Paul Washer. One day, I had logged on to a web site called Sermon Audio to download some classic sermons by Charles Spurgeon, and on the front page of the site was a headline that read, "SHOCKING YOUTH MESSAGE STUNS HEARERS - SO SHOCKING & BIBLICAL THE PREACHER WAS NEVER INVITED BACK." Well, this was so intriguing that I couldn't resist listening.

But, this is THE message that American youth within the Christian church need to hear today. They have been inundated with the message that if they just pray a little prayer, asking Jesus into their hearts, that they'll be saved.

What a departure from the truth of the Bible!

The message of the Bible is a hard message. It's not complex, but it is hard. It requires self-denial. It's not a joyless, unpleasant message, like the message of Islam, but it is not one of self-fulfillment and hedonism, which the contemporary Christian message is becoming.

So, this message from Paul Washer of HeartCry Missionary Society is hard-hitting. It is directed at professing Christians. It is not a message for non-Christians.

I could say, "I hope you enjoy it," but, instead, I hope it transforms your Christian walk and your relationship with the Lord.
