“The best argument for Christianity is Christians: their joy, their certainty, their completeness. But the strongest argument against Christianity is also Christians–when they are sombre and joyless, when they are self-righteous and smug in complacent consecration, when they are narrow and repressive, then Christianity dies a thousand deaths.” – Sheldon Vanauken, A Severe Mercy As […]
“Stacy’s mom has got it goin’ on…” -Fountains of Wayne There seems to be a fascination with older women as sex objects. The terms Cougar or MILF may be fairly recent, but the appeal of an experienced older woman is not new. Even before Stifler’s mom, or Stacy’s mom, the movies “The Graduate” and “Summer of […]
“The increasing complexity and precariousness of our economic life have forced Government to take over many spheres of activity once left to choice or chance. Our intellectuals have surrendered first to the slave-philosophy of Hegel, then to Marx, finally to the linguistic analysts.” – C. S. Lewis from “Willing Slaves of the Welfare State” Last […]
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” -Jesus (Matthew 6:21 – NIV) In Part I, we discussed the connection between work and satisfaction.

“Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.” – Psalm 119:37 (ESV) I’ll say it: Fifty Shades of Grey is pornography. The fact that you can buy FSOG books at airports and grocery stores doesn’t change its essence. The popularity of the book series and likely success of the […]
“I could never take a chance Of losing love to find romance In the mysterious distance Between a man and a woman.” -U2 As the saying goes, men think about sex roughly every seven seconds. Sometimes it can seem like more frequently than that! Whether that is the reason or not, our entertainment, our […]
“Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.” — Proverbs 26:27 (ESV) By now you may have already heard about the news story broken by Rolling Stone magazine — a horrific tale of a brutal sexual assault on a female first-year student that allegedly […]
Men: We have to talk about sex. If there’s one area where millennials are stuck, this is it. The Water Was Dirty Before You Got In Now, before you conclude that I’m pointing my finger at you, please realize that the Boomer cohort gave us the sexual revolution and rampant divorce, and the Gen X cohort were […]
“Chastity is the most unpopular of the Christian virtues.” – C.S. Lewis The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies of all time. (If you haven’t seen it, go watch it now. I’ll wait.) In a famous scene, one of the villain Vezzini’s henchmen, a Spanish swordsman named Inigo Montoya, corrects his boss. Vezzini […]
Sex. It’s everywhere. And if you believe the media it seems that everybody’s doing it with everyone else and that everybody’s doing it but you. It’s worth questioning whether this is so. And even more important, it’s worth asking if this is what we were designed for. First of all, the idea that “everybody else is doing […]
