Christianity
Rejoicing In Suffering
One thing I’ve never quite been able to wrap my head around is how the Apostles were so upbeat in the midst of jail, beatings, facing certain death, all because they wouldn’t shut up about the Good News of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. These last couple of months there’s a been a lot of trials in […]
Spiritual Warfare
It’s very easy when looking at physical events to ignore the metaphysical. We have very limited capacity to detect the spiritual realm, after all, but when patterns appear it becomes evident there’s forces at work that are beyond what we can simply observe with our eyes. These last two weeks, evil has been on the […]
God Is Great And Always Provides
I can’t talk the specifics of a situation because I don’t want this to turn into a “I was pious so the Lord helped me” kind of thing, as I certainly had nothing to do with events, so it’s best to keep it in vague terms. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been under […]
Love Everybody Always
Kanye West earlier this year really changed my life. When he came out with several tweets urging people to say I love you, to make love the new normalized instead of hate, that spoke to me. That is Christ’s message in a nutshell and that is how we’re going to make a long-term impact that […]
Speculative Faith Article: Let’s Talk About Sex
Speculative Faith, a Christian magazine dedicated to SF/F writing for Christian authors had me write an article. As sex is such a crucial plot component to The Stars Entwined, I decided to write about what I’ve seen in the Christian genres, and gave my thoughts on the place of sex in fiction. Sex is a […]

He Is Risen
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, This is of first importance, and don’t forget it. Jesus fulfilled prophecies, he came here for us, and he resurrected. […]
The Last Crusade: On Compassion and Life
I read an article over at The Federalist today by writer Mary Vought. She brought a very personal argument on letting children have the right to live, as the New Yorker brought forth an article by a woman who wished she aborted her child. Additionally, as a pro-life Christian, you can imagine the frustration I felt […]
The Last Crusade: Superseding Nationalism
This morning I read a lecture from a Catholic-American artist, speaking of art and culture in the context of the overall health of mankind. Naturally, he finds the current neo-Babelism of the globalists to be something troubling, but what’s interesting is he takes a step back in the conflict between nationalism and globalism and finds […]
Happy Crusade Day
On this day, November 27th 1095, Pope Urban II preached the First Crusade, ordering European Christians to retake the Holy Land from the barbaric Islamic forces that had captured it. He coined probably the most important phrase in history outside of the teachings of Christ Himself, “Deus Vult!” Celebrate this day by committing to join […]
Do Not Be Unequally Yoked
A reader left a rather chilling comment on my youtube channel worth reading: I had a girlfriend, and relationship lasted about three years. I adored her. Friendship, affection, passion, and common ground in movies and books, with lots of fun sharing…or at least I thought. One day a minority woman was pushing her around, and […]
