Further Evidence of Cultural Dysfunction
That the broader American culture is in a state of dysfunction is a given. In this Perspective, I seek to cite several examples of this dysfunction. I do so, not to promote despair but as evidence that the fundamental challenge facing America is not political, economic or social - it is spiritual. Article ]]> Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Issues_In_Perspective/?bcd=1/30/2010 Perspective, let's think about this rather momentous development. Article

Israel As A Channel of Blessing
When God made his unconditional covenant with Abraham, He said that "in you all the nations will be blessed." One of the Lord's expectations was that His people, Israel, would be a channel of blessing for all of humanity. They would represent Him to the world.

The Failure of Copenhagen: What's Next?
Few would argue that the December 2009 Copenhagen conference on global warming was a success; in fact, the strong case could be made that it was a dismal failure.

Over the past several months, I have been noticing that there is a growing perception within our nation that our institutions are failing. This perception of institutional failure is potentially lethal for our civilization and our way of life. Article

Brit Hume, Tiger Woods and Postmodern Pluralism
On Fox News Sunday nearly two weeks ago, former news anchor Brit Hume made this declaration: "Tiger Woods will recover as a golfer. Whether he can recover as a person, I think is a very open question..." Let's look at the rest of his comments and the response to them.

Thinking Carefully About Health Care In 2010
I have done some additional reading on issues not normally covered in most discussions about the health care legislation currently being considered in Congress. Article

Terrorism and Fear
Only God's grace averted a tragedy on Northwest Flight 253 on Christmas. This terrorist plot reminds us once again how vulnerable we really are to a movement dedicated to persistent attempts to kill Americans. Article ]]> Sat, 09 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Issues_In_Perspective/?bcd=1/2/2010 Perspective, I want to analyze the seriousness of this threat. Article

The Fight Over Abstinence At Harvard
Newsweek columnist, Lisa Miller, recently reported on an abstinence movement at Harvard University called True Love Revolution (TLR), a three-year-old club promoting a lifestyle of abstinence for women. TLR has caused quite a stir at Harvard. Article ]]> Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Issues_In_Perspective/?bcd=12/26/2009 Article
The Hope of Christmas
One of my favorite books, or actually series of books, is "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis. In the first book of the series, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", Narnia is frozen in a seemingly permanent state of cold, frigid winter. There is never spring and there is never Christmas. Article
Why Do We Put Lights On Our Christmas Trees?
The answer to this important Christmas tradition is Martin Luther, the great Protestant reformer of the 16th c. Article ]]> Sat, 26 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Issues_In_Perspective/?bcd=12/19/2009 Perspective, I am not going to argue the virtues or the science of global warming and what is causing it. Instead, I want to posit two theses: Article

President Obama and The Just War
During President Obama's Nobel Prize acceptance speech, he made reference to the just war idea. It was truly an amazing speech, focusing on the reality that he was accepting this prize only a few days after announcing his surge in Afghanistan. A few excerpts: Article ]]> Sat, 19 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Issues_In_Perspective/?bcd=12/12/2009 Perspective. Article

Could the Financial Crisis Foster the Decline of the US?
The answer to this provocative question is unequivocally yes. Niall Ferguson, Harvard historian, lays out a scenario where this could likely occur. Article

Wise Counsel From Isaiah
In one of the Bible studies I lead, we are studying the book of Isaiah. In many ways this book is the Bible in miniature. Article ]]> Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Issues_In_Perspective/?bcd=12/5/2009 Perspective. Article

The Culture of Narcissism
As the Wall Street Journal recently reported, there is a significant cultural shift occurring within America with "American's willingness to exploit themselves for fame and the hunger for ratings-grabbing events by cable-news shows, talk-show hosts, websites and magazines." Several examples: Article ]]> Sat, 05 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Issues_In_Perspective/?bcd=11/28/2009 Article
China and the United States: Partners Or Enemies?
President Obama recently returned from his trip to China. It was both a revealing and profound trip for many reasons. Let's analyze the interrelationship and interdependency of these two giants. Article
Moral Behavior Without Ethics
I have argued that there is a difference between morals (what we do) and ethics (what we ought to do). Ethics need to be rooted in a set of absolute propositions that do not change.

Atheism and Despair
I have long argued that the logical result of an atheistic worldview is despair. I recently came across an extended quotation from one of the 20th century's most famous atheists: Bertrand Russell. Russell argued for the eternality of matter and that material existence is the only existence there is. There is no personal God, only impersonal matter.
