The One Thing All Christians Should Agree On

The One Thing All Christians Should Agree On: 

Little Christs, Church Unity, and a Lesson in Christology

I heard someone in an argument say, “If there is one thing all Christians should agree on, it’s that abortion is wrong.” Now I quite agree that abortion is wrong, and I tend to seriously question someone who calls himself a Christian and supports abortion. They are pretty antithetical ideas. All the way from the beginning, Adam and Eve were told to “multiply.” They weren’t told, “Kill your kids if they’re inconvenient.”

Sorry, was I a little sarcastic there? I tend to think murdering children is a big deal.

But I don’t want to talk about abortion right now. I want to talk about the idea of Church unity, because as impassioned as I am about the abortion issue, it is not and should not be the central point of my faith.

Abortion isn’t the one thing all Christians should agree on. The one thing all Christians should agree on is Jesus.

Feasting or Gluttony: Which Are You Doing?

I’m eating barbecue with my friends on Memorial Day. We’ve just floated the Comal River and we are about to blow any kind of diet we had, then a joke gets made about gluttony.

Should we be joking about the sin of gluttony? Is it really a laughing matter? Does eating barbecue with your friends on Memorial Day, (way more barbecue than you’d eat on a normal day) even count as gluttony?

What is the line between feasting and gluttony?

People Have Sex, Words Have Gender

To those who support Jenner’s decision, I ask a single question of you:

If Jenner changes back, will you be equally supportive?

I’ve been thinking it through for days to be sure I don’t say something about this that I’ll regret.
