Pornomerica

I’ve been a bit dry lately in terms of my blogging. I got a lot of other projects going on, which is actually great (I’m not complaining), but it’s hard to muster up my brainpower to write something interesting.
However, I do have a subject in hand today, and it’s…pr0n. What precipitated this train of thought […]

The lust for power is never satisfied

Adult material warning…this haunting essay by a former booker at an escort agency shows that the issue we’ve seen come to the forefront with the Spitzer scandal is far from isolated in our hallowed American institutions. Whether in Government or Wall Street, the ideals of honor, loyalty, and decency seem to be hard to find […]

SexSaver

Chris Davis just started a great series talking about how he and his wife saved having sexual intimacy until after they were married — not an easy feat in today’s cultural climate! Check it out, whydontcha.

Some thoughts on leaving homosexuality

Justin over at Awesome Purpose opens his heart and talks about some serious issues in regards to breaking free from a homosexual lifestyle as a practicing Christian. All too often it seems that the topic of homosexuality quickly devolves into a tolerance vs. judgement war when really we need to approach this issue with humility, […]

My theistic response to Martin Freedman

We’re going to take a little detour on the blog today because I’ve been taken to task, and perhaps rightly so, for my sloppy use of language in a post I wrote a while back concerning what I perceived as a paradox in the atheistic worldview. And just to avoid yet another round of confusion, […]

Another best blog post ever!

I already did the Best. Blog. Post. Ever. trick earlier this year, so I’ll just have to say I’ve read another awesome post that truly made me think how much responsibility we have as Christians to love one another. If a transsexual like Bobby’s friend can be touched by the love of God in that […]

Book review: Deadly Viper

A book with a provocative title came across my attention recently, by way of my long-standing interest in co-author Mike Foster. He was one of the founders of XXXChurch.com, a group that brings discussion of the dangers of pornography to the forefront of the church and also reaches out in love to the porn industry, […]

Moral for a reason

When atheists (materialists) object to the theistic view of morality, saying that they can behave morally without needing a “god” or a “holy book” to tell them so, they miss the entire point of the debate. The question isn’t whether people can or do behave in moral ways (at least in terms of our collective […]

San Francisco ain’t no utopia

As some of you may recall, I started working in San Francisco in May this year. I’d been to S.F. often growing up in Marin and Sonoma counties, but this was the first time I’d ever spent any significant amount of time in the city, especially near downtown (I work near Market St. in the […]

Deadly Viper

I’ve been reading a really different, refreshingly, brutally honest book on the pitfalls and potentials of being a solid leader and a decent person of integrity and compassion. It’s called Deadly Viper: Character Assassins, and I’ll be reviewing it on the blog soon, but in the meantime, check out deadlyviper.org. It’s pretty cool.
