  • Absolute truth is found in Christianity

    Christianity offers absolute truth. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” The claim of absolute truth demands a verdict, and there are four points that all philosophies and religions must answer coherently and consistently to justify truth: the origin of life…

  • Vigilante justice is not justice

    The man accused of murdering Dr. George Tiller, an abortion provider, admitted on Monday that he has no regrets for the crime. According to the Associated Press, Scott Roeder, the murderer, said he killed Tiller out of necessity to defend the unborn. This is a complicated issue because both men attended church…

  • Christians need to give more

    The world would be a completely different place if all Christians practiced what has been taught over the centuries, including myself. Philanthropy toward everyone is one of the cornerstones discussed early in the book of Acts. Lately, I have been studying Acts…

  • The gospel of prosperity is bankrupt

    In times of economic downturn, it appears the gospel of prosperity is becoming popular in churches across America. The gospel of prosperity that so many mega churches spew is a feel-good message that people want to hear. This false doctrine teaches that health and wealth are mandates from God to his people…

  • Zealots distort the Christian faith

    As the crowd gathered around the hated man on Glenn Terrell Mall on Tuesday afternoon, an intense feeling of hatred toward him was in the air. In my own heart, I became disgruntled with his unloving approach toward spreading the message of salvation to others…

  • America should forgive Letterman

    The lives of celebrities do not interest me for many reasons, but David Letterman’s extramarital hijinks got me thinking about forgiveness. Letterman announced to the world that he had multiple affairs with members of his staff and apologized to his co-workers and his wife for what he did…

  • Finding your identity in a world torn by extremism

    After Chris Hedges’ seemingly endless pessimistic speech about American capitalism, I left the CUB Auditorium feeling oddly refreshed. Never before has a speech about the destruction of human individualism caused by big corporations reinforced my beliefs to such a strong degree…

  • Finding faith in Christ is a liberating experience

    Christians fall into many traps during their walk with God. One in particular is forgetting the liberty that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. This is not political liberty like the American colonists fought for. It is spiritual freedom that has two purposes…

  • Jesus was an independent

    For years I thought my purpose in life was to unite America in a conservative movement. I wanted everyone to vote Republican and oppose unnecessary taxes. Politics and conservatism were my passions in life, but they are temporal things that do not matter much to me anymore…

  • Religious tolerance rouses open debate

    American tolerance makes it easy to call myself a Christian. I can pray whenever and wherever I feel like, protest policies in the name of a higher cause and publicly admit my faith. My objection with this issue is it is simply too easy to be a Christian in this nation…

  • Faith is a personal relationship

    You may call this one heresy, but as my relationship with Christ grew this summer, I came to loathe religion more and more. Religion is responsible for many evil events in human history, such as the Crusades or the attacks on the World Trade Center. Christianity almost has a tinged name due to many parts of the church’s past…

  • Christian lifestyle builds strong couples

    Let’s face facts, we are in the prime of our lives. College exciting and definitely ideal for starting relationships that could lead to marriage. Love is valued in all cultures and, and in the Christian lifestyle, it is the greatest commandment God gave us – love our neighbor as we love ourselves…

  • Making Pullman feel more like home

    I love Week of Welcome at WSU. It’s probably my favorite time of the year to be honest. It is a time when thousands of fresh faces appear on campus, free stuff is all over the place and you spend most of the time meeting up with old buddies. I recall being homesick my first year though…

  • Moral code created by God, not evolution

    Before I get started, I need to make something clear. This column is different from my last. My message is not political, and I want to make it a point that my passion is Christ, not politics. My Savior, whom I need and rely upon daily, does not represent the conservative movement…

  • Mr. Right bids a final farewell

    I am sure many of you will find comfort in the fact this is my last political column. I want to thank all of you who have read my column this year. Today I want to talk about a few things that are of great importance to me. Believe it or not, I do have a heart…
