Cultural Issues



    The Moral Crisis

    We will need to discuss the moral landscape of America together, seeing our culture through the lens of Scripture. 

    Proposition 8 and the Bible

    So, what does the Bible teach about homosexuality?  On such a controversial and emotional issue, we need to know whose word we are going to trust. 

    Radical Islam

    Why did bin Laden's organization attack America on 9-11?  Why do they continue their war against the U.S. and the West?

    The day after the election

    In recent years I have found myself in unusual places during presidential elections.  When George W. Bush and Al Gore essentially tied on the night of the 2000 election, I was on a mission trip in Cuba.  It was surreal to watch our democratic process unfold in a nation which has not seen democracy in so many decades.

    What is happening in our world?

    Six days away from the presidential election, people everywhere are asking what is happening in our world.  I'm asking the same question. 

    Is God Green?

    Global warming is one of the most divisive subjects of our day.

    November 4 is coming

    What should be the relationship of church to state, religion to politics?

    Homosexuality: a biblical overview

    Last year a number of readers asked me to discuss the subject of homosexuality in biblical context. The ordination of Gene Robinson by the Episcopal Church was the presenting issue, but the larger question transcends any particular denomination or individual. In brief, what does the Bible say on this divisive subject?

    On such a controversial and emotional issue, we need to know whose word we are going to trust. We can find scholars who support any of the variety of positions which are advocated on the subject. It is not my intention to treat fully the multitude of interpretive comments which deal with the biblical texts on the subject. My goal is simply to review what the Bible says about homosexuality, as clearly, succinctly, and practically as possible.
