Explain to me why it’s foolish to benefit from lying and stealing and I will show you not only why Bitcoin and the dollar are foolish but how to redeem the world and return to God. Why is it foolish to benefit from lying and stealing? This question exposes the greed and faithlessness at the heart of our society. The roots of this question go all the way back to the garden of Eden where Eve’s greed permitted her to to benefit from lying and stealing.  Act 1: Creation - God’s Limited Expression  God’s Creation: I have made you.  God’s Judgement: You are good.  God’s Hidden Heart: I love you.  God’s Problem: How can I prove my love to them? God’s Commandment: ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” Act 2: The Fall of Creation - Ignorance and Paradise Lost Eve’s Fear: I will die if I eat or touch the forbidden fruit. Eve’s Greed: She saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and ...

Netflix has a new four part on Bernie Madoff. Episode one is titled “A Liar, Not a Failure.” Watch Here:  Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street Quick analysis: Bernie Madoff represents all Americans after WWII. The period between 1913 & 1945 was so traumatic, people just wanted peace, even if that peace was secured with deception. Bernie Madoff suffered losses on the stock market early in his career and covered over those loses with a loan from a family member. This made Bernie Madoff appear successful when he wasn’t. The ethos of Bernie Madoff after that even could be summarized this way: “I can live with myself as a liar. I can’t live with myself as a failure.” This documentary is good to watch because the warnings against unjust gain are so universal and so straightforward. Proverbs and scripture written thousands of years ago still provide a succinct commentary on the rise and fall of Bernie Madoff.  Leviticus 19:11 Do not steal. “’Do not lie. “’Do not deceive one another...

Romans 8:32 “ He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? ” Many people are waking up to some pretty uncomfortable truths about the state of the world. There seems to be a lot of ugliness, deception, hatred, destruction, and perversion everywhere we look. From drug alleys in Philadelphia to pedophilia in the halls of government to genocides in Gaza and open mockery of the sacred at the Olympics (not to mention broken homes, bankrupt nations, enormous debts, and confused teenagers)…  Theologians and philosophers have a hard enough time justifying the divine in good times knowing that evil is possible. It seems near impossible to justify the goodness of God when the whole world seems to be evil and on fire… This brings me to my meditation today. Have you ever wondered if Satan’s evil choices are designed to get back at God for creating him? By extension, is it possible that our commitment to ever in...

To explain the problem with Bitcoin, I must explain the problem with lying.  Logic is the source of all our words, built from our sense perceptions. We formulate words by answering the question “What is it?”. This is why we say “does that make sense?” This is a very complex process and commands the attention of an entire field of academic study (Philosophy, Linguistics, Epistemology, and Logic). Words not backed by real objects are void of sense perception. Since these words seem to be made up from nothing, they are illogical and irrational. Any claims made with these words are either irrational (if made unintentionally) or deceptive lies (if made intentionally). Since we store memories or sense perceptions into our words, it is a fair assessment to say that irrational words and illogical arguments severe our connnection to reality, leaving us “senseless.” Money and trade is the language of economics. Currencies are the words. Currencies which are backed by real assets, whether tha...

 Ephesians 5:30-32 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.  “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the   two shall become one flesh.”   This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Introduction: Confusion about Marriage Godly marriage is a relationship that is deep and mysterious. Ungodly wisdom would say marriage is simple and profane, a legal definition to garner benefits from the State or medical rights. The confusion between these two types of marriage is the point for the ungodly do not wish there to be an obvious distinction between the godly and the ungodly. Whether by abuse of marriage within religious circles or mislabeling of marriage within profane circles, it seems that we are blind to a true expression of marriage in our day. May this be a testament to what I believe godly marriage is so that it might find true expression in my life and in those marriag...

On Friday July 26, I along with millions of others watched the Opening Ceremony at the Paris Olympics. I also, along with many others, noticed the images and scenes full of debauchery, sexual perversion, and what would categorize as expressions of ugliness. At one point one man’s testicles was on display for anyone, including children, to see. Many online pundits from Candace Owens to Piers Morgan noticed how certain choreographed scenes depicted images of Western Christianity like the Last Supper in mockery and responded naturally in collective revulsion. In our society where analysis of cultural phenomena are limited to a few hundred character (whether by design or by the limits of our attention spans), our hot takes too often fall into the binary judgement of “bad” or “good”. What I would like to suggest is that this binary is both unchristian and deeply problematic because it ignores cause, our responsibility, and the sovereignty of God. I’ll take these in reverse order.  1. Ju...
