The One-Week Social Media Challenge
We are just over a week from Christmas, so this is a good time to issue a one-week challenge. Further, this is a time of year where people are a bit more focused on positive things, so maybe today’s challenge can be accepted and enjoyed. I see what seems to be a growing trend on social media that really bothers me. To be honest, I used to take part in it–and still fight the temptation to on a very regular basis–but I make myself stop before I hit “send” or “like” or “retweet” or whatever. It is the practice of sharing on social media things that a person knows are going…

Universalism and Social Media
We are in a time in human history in which the influence and acceptance of Universalism as at an all-time high. The basic idea behind Universalism is that religion as a whole is a human quality that exists in every human being. Thus, regardless of your beliefs and practices, whatever your religion happens to be, it is acceptable and it ought to be embraced with an attitude of inclusiveness. The basic problem with this viewpoint is that God, although wanting to be all-inclusive (desiring to save all mankind – 1 Tim. 2:3-4), is in reality quite exclusive. God chose Jesus alone to be man’s only way to come to the…

It’s Also Time to #ShoutYourAbortionForgiveness
In recent days, a sensation has made waves online that has so many people up in arms, and rightly so. A movement started on Twitter and quickly moved to other social media platforms. It was a chance for women who had aborted a child to no longer whisper about it, but to proudly bring that out in the open. It was given the social treatment with a hashtag: #ShoutYourAbortion. Some “shouted” about their experience and wanted to do it again. Some did so, and were just thankful that someone had given them an outlet to share that they were not sorry for their abortion. They felt liberated by the viral nature of…

One Week Until Our Podcast Relaunch
You may have noticed a lack of posts over the past few days. (At least, we hope you noticed!) Since so many of us have been at Polishing the Pulpit, we took the week off from the site. Of course, we can schedule posts ahead of time, but it is harder to “promote” the posts when we are not sure of our internet connection during the day. We hope you understand our little blogging vacation. Today, though, we want to remind you that we are just one week away from the relaunch of our podcast from A Legacy of Faith. Adam has been hard at work recorded episodes, and we hope…
