"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!" (Is 5:20-21).
There's a song I used to love from one of my favourite Christian artists, Randy Stonehill, called "Stop The World" (wow, showing my age, here!).
It is a satirical picture of how the morals and ideals of the world are so upside-down and hypocritical, and he was right on the money.
Unfortunately, this sad reality has crept into some churches as well, and it is now considered right to be wrong.
why is that?...
Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth. Grant me purity of heart, that I may honor you. (Psalm 86:11).

Why is That?...Why MUST I Accept Evolution as fact?
No other phrase can get the heckles up more than the four words..."In the beginning, God..."
...why is that?

Why is That?...Why do we have to make Christianity so hard?
The Christian message can be confusing enough in itself...
yet we often end up complicating things more in the process of explaining ourselves...

Why Is It That?...Labelling Christians as 'Judgemental'
Welcome to the first in the series "Why Is That?", where I attempt to answer some tricky questions.
First, the scenario:
You are having a quiet, conversation with a Non-Christian, and the topic turns to spiritual matters. You start praying that God will open their heart to hear what you are saying.
Then they ask you why God would not want to let them into heaven. You take a big gulp, then explain to them about what sin is to God. Then...
Whammo! It's like you have told them they are a monster, or their mother dresses them funny.
Then out comes the old cliche: "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE JUDGING ME...?!!!".
