Culture Watch: Fatherhood: Instituted by God, Attacked by Liberals
by Lee Warren
As I prepare to take my literal trip down memory lane in St. Louis just a couple of days after Father's Day, I must confess that I am angry. I am angry at a culture that arrogantly claims to know more than God by saying that children don't need fathers. Read more...
Christianity and Culture: Pluralism, Post Modernity, and the Death of Christendom
by Shea Oakley
Today it is not unusual to hear conservative Christian leaders bemoaning the political and cultural pluralism that characterizes America at the beginning of the Twenty-first Century. Read more...
Christianity and Culture: What's Wrong With Christian Music
by Shea Oakley
Many of us who became Christians later in life share the same story. In the weeks or months following our conversion we began to think that most, if not all, of the secular music we grew up listening to was 'of the Devil'. What followed might be described as 'The Cleansing of the CD Collection”. Read more...
Culture Watch: The Appeal of Courage
by Lee Warren
Sixteen years ago, I fell in love. Not with a woman, but with heavy metal music. It sounds odd, I know. But it is true. After becoming a Christian, I often wondered why music had been so important in my life. Read more...
Christianity and Culture: Mall Ministry: Reaching American Teens Where They Live
by Shea Oakley
A suggestion to youth outreach ministries across the nation: target shopping malls. Anyone who is even slightly aware of the presence of adolescents in their midst knows that they congregate in huge numbers at the local mall. Read more...
Culture Watch: Becoming Sons of Issachar
by Lee Warren
Pop culture is simply a snapshot into the minds of a nation's citizenry. The sons of Issachar understood the culture that they lived in and they knew what their nation ought to do as a result. The American church can't make the same claim because we've ran away from culture, deeming it worldly or a waste of time. The sons of Issachar would disagree. Read more...
Christianity and Culture: Transnational Culture Wars: Where Should the Blame Lie?
by Shea Oakley
Two new international polls show an interesting dichotomy in the attitude of people from other nations towards America. Recently one polling company asked citizens of countries around the world what is their view of the United States. The results were compared with findings from a similar poll taken a few years ago. When compared, the results show that in many of these nations America's popularity rating has taken a dive. Read more...
Christianity and Culture: Staying Single Longer
by Shea Oakley
American Christians, following the national trend, are entering marriage later in life. Today a growing number of previously unmarried believers remain single into their thirties and forties. This is changing the face of the Church and not necessarily for the better. Read more...
Culture Watch: Immigration: What's a Christian to Think?
by Lee Warren
As you watched the video of 200+ refugees from Haiti pour onto a beach in Miami recently, what ran through your mind? Read more...
Christianity and Culture: The Religion of Roswell
by Shea Oakley
There is a reason why UFO's and space aliens are so popular these days. For people with little or no belief in the traditionally religious idea of the transcendent, faith in a superior civilization coming to Earth is made to fill in part of Pascal's “God-shaped hole”. Read more...
Christianity and Culture: Engaging the "Teleculture"
by Shea Oakley
Western Civilization, particularly in the United States, has entered the 21st Century with the preceding century's inclination to embrace all technology as good still very much present. In fact, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, probably no other time in history has witnessed such a wholesale acceptance of man-made instrumentalities. Read more...
Culture Watch: The Wisdom of "Tuck Everlasting"
by Lee Warren
If you could choose to live forever (here on earth), would you? That's the question that the trailer for the new movie “Tuck Everlasting” asks; a movie adapted from the 1975 novel of the same name written by Natalie Babbit which is set in the 1800's. Read more...
Culture Watch: What Ever Happened to the Protestant Work Ethic?
by Lee Warren
When I was fifteen years old, my Grandpa had a proposition for me. He told me that for every dollar I saved to buy a car, he would match it. I knew he had quite a bit of money and that he could have easily afforded to buy a car for me, but I also knew that my Grandpa liked to teach his grandchildren lessons and I was sure that this was one of them. Read more...
Culture Watch: A Time to Fight
by Lee Warren
Untempered, untrained men do tend to lack control. And of course, fighting isn't always the answer. But sometimes it is. Read more...
Culture Watch: Are Boycotts Biblical?
by Lee Warren
With corporate takeovers and mergers happening faster than you can say AOL Time Warner, it's getting easier and easier to find fault with the business practices of these conglomerates. And with questionable business practices come boycotts from Christians. Read more...
Culture Watch: How Silence Changes Culture
by Lee Warren
When cultures decline morally, they usually do so at a very slow pace. But beyond a slow pace, they require something else—silence from those who disagree with the new standards. Read more...
Culture Watch: I'll Take the Thousand Words
by Lee Warren
Television reruns during the Summer can only mean one thing. It's time to read those books that have been collecting dust on the bookshelf until the "time was right." Read more...
Culture Watch: On National Heritage
by Lee Warren
Look no further than America to find out what happens to a nation when its heritage is no longer taught or remembered. In the name of political correctness, many of our public school text books no longer contain references to our Christian heritage. Many of our politicians, journalists/columnists and think-tanks make claims that our nation was never expressly Christian. Read more...
Culture Watch: On Family Heritage
by Lee Warren
I've been thinking about family heritage lately. It's hard not to. My Dad died a couple of years ago and nothing ever made me think more about my own mortality and legacy than his passing. It made me want to record my family's history so future generations will know how God worked in our lives. Read more...
Culture Watch: Jesus the Politician
by Lee Warren
In recent years, several Christian leaders have implored us to stop focusing so much energy on politics and focus more on making disciples—as if the two don't go hand in hand. Read more...
