The Myth of a 'Secular' Government

Wes Moore — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:53:01 +0000

In part one of this two-part article series, I demonstrated that Thomas Jefferson’s famous words regarding “separation between church and state” referred not to a complete purging of Christianity’s influence from public life, but his conviction that the federal government had no power to interfere between individual states and churches in matters of religion. In…

Understanding Separation of Church and State

Wes Moore — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:10:58 +0000

“Separation between church and state!” Not a day goes by in modern America where this now famous (or infamous, depending on how you look at it) phrase by Thomas Jefferson is not used by some anti-Christian group to rid the government of the “evils” of religion. Whether it’s a Ten Commandment’s display, a Cross at…

An Allegory of the Collapsing American Church

by Wes Moore American Heart Services (AHS) was once a thriving business. With multiple locations in virtually every U. S. city, number one market share, and the best heart remedy products on the market, AHS was hard to beat. Over the past 20 years, however, AHS has been in a steady decline. Sales in 85%…

Public Education: A Form of Child Sacrifice?

Wes Moore — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:57:26 +0000

by Wes Moore I had just walked into the church building. Out of one ear I heard a lady ask, “Any kids today?” “No,” the other lady replied. “None yet.” This was a conversation between two senior adults just before the morning worship service began. They were trying to figure out if they needed to…

Trust in Science?

Wes Moore — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:56:15 +0000

by Wes Moore A researcher out of the University of North Carolina says conservatives have lost faith in science over the last forty years. [1] The study, authored by Gordon Gaulet, tracked trust in science by political affiliation based on the General Social Survey, originally performed in 1974 and then every other year from 1994…

No Good Atheists

Wes Moore — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 14:49:21 +0000

by Wes Moore Sometimes in debates or discussions with atheists, the unbeliever uses the argument, “Well, you don’t have to believe in God to be moral.” In most cases, the Christian simply concedes the point and moves on. I understand why we do this. I’ve even done it myself. However, I want to point out…

Why would God make people for Hell?

Wes Moore — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:08:36 +0000

by Wes Moore After my article on hell a few days ago, someone sent me this question: “Why would God create people he knows aren’t going to choose him, and therefore he knows before they are even born that they are going to hell?” Great question. Let me try to address it. The Underlying Issue…

Is Hell fair?

Wes Moore — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:09:44 +0000

by Wes Moore God’s morality is on trial today. Every day in our culture human being’s sit in judgment over the Creator’s moral integrity. Before we will allow him to exist, or to truly be God, he must first pass our “are-you-good-enough-to-be-God” test. The reality of this test appears in the form of various objections:…

Billy Graham's America No Longer

Wes Moore — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 12:50:24 +0000

by Wes Moore Last week I made the point that the growing emphasis on marketing in the church has caused us to water down or altogether alter the teachings of the Bible and the gospel. Not what we want to do, obviously. So, if marketing isn't the answer to growing the Kingdom, what is? What's…
