How to Stop Being Afraid? In God We Trust

Last updated on: January 11, 2013 at 5:10 am By Bill Blankschaen

Welcome to a series here at Patheos to follow up on my post How to Stop Being Afraid with wisdom from Psalm 46. No. “In God we trust” did not make its first appearance upon US currency. Psalm 46:1 says that “God is our refuge.” The psalmist makes this incredible claim that the infinite God is our defense at the start of Psalm 46 to help us to stop being afraid. Building on the simple yet deeply profound statement that... Read more

Why Joe Biden is Wrong on Gun Control

Last updated on: January 10, 2013 at 4:05 pm By Bill Blankschaen

Vice President used this wrong thinking yesterday to justify why new gun control action should be taken by the federal government: “If our actions result in saving only one life, they’re worth taking,” Biden said at a meeting of victims and gun control proponents at the White House. “But I’m convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of Americans and take thousands of people out of harm’s way if we act responsibly.” With all due respect, Mr. Vice President, (and...

How to Stop Being Afraid: Just Who Is this God?

Last updated on: January 10, 2013 at 7:00 am By Bill Blankschaen

Welcome to a series here at Patheos to follow up on my post How to Stop Being Afraid with wisdom from Psalm 46. After the last post (Want to Stop Being Afraid? Step 1: It All Starts with God) focused on where we should start in overcoming fear, the next valid question might best be: Just who is this God? We’d be wrong to assume that everyone knows — or remembers. We are forgetful people. Even those of us who... Read more

Want to Stop Being Afraid? Step 1: Remember God

Last updated on: January 9, 2013 at 7:48 am By Bill Blankschaen

Welcome to the first in a series here at Patheos to follow up on my post How to Stop Being Afraid with wisdom from Psalm 46. It seems simple enough. But I, for one, am quick to forget it when I consider the How to Stop Being Afraid. The first step according to Psalm 46 is remembering who God is. Sounds too easy, I know. It’s when we think that we must face the challenges of life on our own that... Read more

Answer the Call to Greatness: Give Someone a Nudge

Last updated on: January 8, 2013 at 5:00 pm By Bill Blankschaen

We all know it doesn’t take much to start a lot of hurt. Still not sure who fired the first shot on the greens of Lexington. It doesn’t take much to start a lot of good either. Think Rosa Parks. Or Mother Teresa. It clearly doesn’t take a bulldozer to get big things started, although it sure can feel like it. All it takes is a nudge. But you can’t nudge someone else toward greatness until you have the courage... Read more

Paedophilia: Why Not?

Last updated on: January 8, 2013 at 9:13 am By Bill Blankschaen

Paedophilia. Why not? Some of you are shocked that I would even bring up the topic of adults having sexual relations with children: “How could you ask such a question?! And on a religious site, no less!” Some of you caught wind of it in my FaithWalker’s Daily report this morning. Others of you may have stumbled across this post expecting something very different. Unfortunately. For all of you, my question is this: As a pluralistic, post-Christian culture here in the US,... Read more

What Do You Think We Should Do about Our National Budget Deficit?

Last updated on: January 7, 2013 at 4:25 pm By Bill Blankschaen

We all mostly agree that running deficits of over a trillion dollars each year can’t be good. Even the more liberal amongst us aren’t thrilled about it. And I know our kids aren’t going to be happy once they find out about it. Maybe you agree with me and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell that we have a spending addiction. Or maybe you agree with President Obama that we need to raise taxes more. Maybe both. But seriously, if it were up... Read more
