The NFL’s controversial Take a Knee protests have the nation talking about racial issues. That’s a good thing. That’s the whole point of the protests, to bring attention to the problems that many black Americans say they face on a regular basis. The debates are raging on social media. I have been in the middle of several of them. For the most part, the discussions have been open, honest, and frank–that’s a very good thing. However, whenever such debates take... Read more
I’ve been debating all day. In the wake of the article I wrote on Sunday about the “Take a Knee” controversy, I’ve been kept quite busy responding to a lot of people.

Christian Trump supporter, what’s it going to take?
Legendary publisher, Hugh Hefner died this week at the age of 91. The nature of Hefner’s enterprise was certainly controversial–debates have raged for more than half a century about whether he succeeded in liberating women or simply made sexualizing them more socially acceptable. It was not surprising to hear lots of Christians rise up to have their say after Hefner passed. Many took exception to some of the eulogies that praised Hefner.
