Helping Christians understand the times through a Biblical lens.

    141: Moms, Dads, What’s the Difference?

    141: Moms, Dads, What’s the Difference?

    Last Sunday was Mother’s Day and in a culture that can no longer even define the term “woman,” Mother’s Day is a bit of an anachronism. It’s a day that reminds us of some things that we intuitively know beyond a shadow of a doubt. But it’s a day that points out just how much nonsense has emerged in our culture. So let’s consider mothers.

    140: A War on Words

    140: A War on Words

    In his prescient novel, 1984, George Orwell argued that the control of language is a means by which governments and other totalitarian agencies control the narrative, the agenda, the way we control people. It is interesting that in 2024, language is becoming the battlefield for control in our culture. What does the bible have to say about this?

    139: Has Abortion Been Given New Life?

    139: Has Abortion Been Given New Life?

    A couple of years ago when the Dobbs decision threw Roe vs. Wade back to the states, a lot of us thought that the abortion conversation would begin to decline and eventually become less significant as a part of the public discourse. In fact, the exact opposite has happened and abortion is once again, not only a topic of conversation, but it is a lynchpin for this year’s presidential campaign. Let’s talk about it.

    138: Israel is at War and God has Chosen Sides

    138: Israel is at War and God has Chosen Sides

    Critics of the Bible often say that rather than the Word of God, the Bible is just a man-made document that is about ancient stories and has no relevance to today. And yet, over thousands of years the Bible has consistently been proven accurate by archeological evidence. It has explained and helped us understand events in the course of human history. Why can’t we turn to the Bible to evaluate the events happening around us today. Well, we can.

    137: Easter and Transgender Visibility Day

    137: Easter and Transgender Visibility Day

    In the category of “You Just Can’t Make This Up,” last Sunday, March 31st, 2024 was both Easter Sunday for western Christianity as well as National Transgender Visibility Day. In writing the proclamation for that observance, President Biden said to the transgender community, “You are America and my entire administration and I have your back.” Well, I wonder who has the backs of those who have been observing Easter for 2000 years. Let’s talk about the clash of historic faith and current political ideology.

    R. Albert Mohler Jr., “It’s not working, Mr. President,” April 1, 2024.

    136: Gambling: Time-Tested Destruction

    136: Gambling: Time-Tested Destruction

    This week is opening day for the 2024 MLB season. We ought to be talking about the prospects for each team or how the LA Dodgers committed $1 billion this winter to are agents trying to buy a World Series, but instead we are talking about one player: Shohei Ohtani, arguably the best baseball player on the planet. But we aren’t talking about him because he’s a talented ball player. We’re talking about him because he’s at the center of potentially the biggest gambling scandal in sports in a generation. How should we think about sports betting as Believers?



    Mike Florio, “The Ohtani gambling scandal, in a nutshell,” March 24, 2024.

    Keith O’Brien, “A Massive Baseball-Gambling Scandal Is Brewing. But Sports Betting Has Already Exploded—and Congress Couldn’t Care Less,” March 21, 2024.

    Daniel Darling, “The dark underbelly of sports betting,” February 29, 2024.

The Real Pastor!

Michael Gabbert is the real pastor! I have been looking for a church for years. I almost feel like there is something wrong with me because I look at this world and see right through it. There is so much evil and so many church’s I have gone to are unable or scared to point at or recognize evil. I couldn’t find a church that could take political issues and speak about them and tell help us think biblically about them. I told my life group that I’m looking for a church where the pastor that speak of these issues and then I found Evergreen. Pastor Gabbert is wonderful! Biggest answer to prayer. Thank you Lord for guiding me to this preacher and answering this prayer.
