Now There Is Demisexuality. Heaven Help Us.
Earlier this month, Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo, daughter of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, announced that she now identifies as “demisexual.” As she described in the interview, her journey has gone from identifying as straight to identifying as bisexual to identifying as pansexual to now, finally, demisexual. This latest identification refers to someone who is sexually attractedContinue reading “Now There Is Demisexuality. Heaven Help Us.”
Does God Care About My Weight?
God cares about our devotions, desires, and disciplines, which direct our attention and anxieties. Our weight, concerns about our weight, or the value that others attach to us because of our weight can replace the truth of what God defines as our value and identity as being loved by Him. For good or for bad,Continue reading “Does God Care About My Weight?”
The Loneliness of Being Different
Being different often breeds loneliness of the deepest kind. This is especially true when someone is different in a way that offends the sensibilities of others.

And for many, there will be no remedy in this lifetime.Continue reading “The Loneliness of Being Different”
Stopping Sexual Harassment
My secular workplace has detailed policies on how to address sexual harassment when it happens, but as a manager, I’d rather stop it before it begins. Do you have any advice on how I might do that?

Emptiness in Modern Home Pt. 1
(It is such a needed topic, it deserves the complete article. It will be shared over the day in four parts.) I wondered if the editors at The New York Times realized the irony in the title “The Pandemic Created a Child-Care Crisis. Mothers Bore the Burden.” Working mothers, who once bore their children inContinue reading “Emptiness in Modern Home Pt. 1”
The Cynical Pastor
I spent the last week with my family at the beach on vacation. We really enjoyed ourselves. I wished we had another week! While there, I hoped to detox from the constant pressures of the ministry, unplug from screens and social media, and just be present with my wife and kids. After a few daysContinue reading “The Cynical Pastor”
Sexual Abuse and Grooming
In an anti-obesity drive, we are told that the government now plans to impose a pre-9pm ban on TV advertisements for junk food high in sugar, salt and fat. Ads for chocolate, burgers, soft drinks, cakes, sweets, ice cream, biscuits, sweetened juices, crisps, chips, and pizzas will all, therefore, have to go, along with anythingContinue reading “Sexual Abuse and Grooming”
What If We Could Live to Be 150 Years Old?
A new report from Scientific American shows that humans have a life span capacity of up to 120-150 years, omitting any possible stressors like cancer, heart disease, or getting hit by a bus. The article, however, looks at this optimal life span rather pessimistically.
