Why You Shouldn't Be A Swiftie

Image
America has gone Taylor Swift crazy!  Adoring fans even proudly refer to themselves as Swifties.  But if you are a Christian, and if you are a Christian parent, then there are good reasons why you shouldn't be a fan of Taylor Swift, and why you shouldn't let your daughter be a Swiftie.   Maybe you don't know about Taylor Swift beyond her music.  Take a look at this short list of things she has said and done recently.  If you can still enjoy singing along with her music, watching her videos, and paying big bucks for her concerts, I'm shocked.   She accused Donald Trump of “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency.”  Source She accused Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn of being a “homophobic racist” and “Trump in a whig” in her Netflix documentary "Miss Americana."   Source She has publicly opposed state laws that protect children from irreversible transgender medical procedures, including hormone therapy and genital transmogrific

Should Christians Attend Gay Weddings?

The well-known preacher Alistair Begg was recently dropped by the American Family Radio for advising Christians to attend gay weddings.  Is he right or wrong?  Well, let's talk about it.   Christians should NOT attend gay weddings.  Why?   First, a wedding is marriage ceremony (Merriam-Webster).  According to the Bible, marriage is the union of one man and one woman for a lifetime.  In other words, gay marriage is not actually marriage, and a gay wedding is not actually a wedding.  Therefore, it is impossible to attend gay weddings because according to the Bible they don't exist.   Second, a gay wedding is the celebration of a homosexual marriage.  The Bible says that homosexuality is a sin against God.   As Christians, we cannot celebrate what God condemns.   Third, we attend weddings to show our love for the people getting married.  However, does a Christian have to attend a gay wedding to show their gay friend that they love them?  Of course not.  Let's say that your no

Are We Approaching Armageddon?

The short answer is no.  For the longer answer, keep reading. When you hear the word, “Armageddon,” what comes to mind?  Many think of it as the final, catastrophic world war at the end of the world before Christ comes back.  “Prophecy experts” have always claimed that Armageddon was going to happen in their own generation.  They’ve always been wrong.   What does the Bible say about Armageddon?  The Bible only mentions the word Armageddon one time (Rev 16:16).  The context of the passage is not the end of the world, but the final destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, almost 2,000 years ago. In Revelation 16 we find the bowl judgments.  Seven angels pour out seven bowls of God's wrath.  One of the bowls is Armageddon.  To understand Armageddon, it is essential to understand the context of Revelation 16, which is about God's judgment on first century Jerusalem for rejecting the Messiah and instead worshiping the Roman emperor. What evidence is there that the seven bowl judgments are
