Russell Wilson Isn’t Jesus

Last updated on: August 31, 2016 at 2:41 pm By Ryan Welsh

In 2012 the Seattle Seahawks drafted quarterback Russell Wilson in the third round who exceeded all expectations. The vast majority of third round NFL picks don’t even make the team, but Wilson not only made the team but won the starting job his rookie season before the regular season opener. In just four NFL seasons he has accumulated colossal undertakings: Super Bowl champion, two-time NFC champion, three-time Pro Bowl selection, Pro Bowl Offensive MVP and NFL Passer Rating Leader, just...

Does Your Church Hear The Gospel?

Last updated on: August 25, 2016 at 10:42 pm By Ryan Welsh

My friend and colleague recently said something that was reminiscent of a thought that I’ve often had. He said, “Would the authors he reads go to his church?” I have never thought of it in those exact terms, but I have thought much about the inconsistency between belief and choice of church for many Christians. TOLERATING NON-GOSPEL PREACHING I have many friends and family members, whom I know love Jesus and understand the gospel, yet attend churches who have hardly anything... Read more

The Deplorable & The Gospel

Last updated on: August 22, 2016 at 5:28 pm By Ryan Welsh

Seattle-based radio talk show host, Jason Rantz sat down with Terry O’Neill, President of the National Organization for Women (NOW), on August 1st and was stunned by what he heard. Rantz asked O’Neill if she would still support abortion if science proved that life began at conception. A Deplorable Admission Her response: I don’t care. Of course, I would support abortion. I fell in love with my four-cell stage (child) and that wasn’t even pregnancy. That was before pregnancy began.... Read more

God & Country

Last updated on: August 22, 2016 at 5:22 pm By Ryan Welsh

Our current political climate is as intense and polarizing as ever. It seems the right has moved further right, the left has moved further left and the centrists have lost all hope in the political process. For the Christian, the current political situation is much greater than just deciding whether one is pro-Hilary, pro-Trump, anti-both or pro-“the lesser evil.” The Worship of Politicians Imagine for a second that aliens do exist (I’m not referring to immigration here). Real, extra-terrestrial life... Read more

What Is A Winged Creature?

Last updated on: August 22, 2016 at 5:23 pm By Ryan Welsh

What is a winged creature? Why the weird blog title? I assure you the title of this blog is not an attempt to be trendy, to gain readership or any other reason other than that it is the perfect title to capture the goal of this blog. The penultimate and final chapters of C.S. Lewis’ most famous work, Mere Christianity, are titled “Nice People or New Men” and “The New Man.” These chapters are the culmination of 31 previous...
