There is a distinction between men and women. The professor in the Sociology of Gender Theory class had directly asserted that there were no distinctions between women and men. "Women can run up and down ladders just as easily as men,” she confidently insisted. Mike sighed and his stomach wrenched as his mind was flooded with memories from forty years ago, and he told them all of a personal experience. He told them... the Timmy Stanley Story. About forty years ago Mike w

A discussion about whether gender is legitimately evolving

I want to help those who practice homosexuality by coming to them as someone who is a friend of sex and a friend to them.”

Mike begins Gender Theory class

The professors eyes narrowed. "Well evolution is the reality that we are going to work with if you want to be involved with this class..." Biblical Dialog With Professors Through His Papers COVID brought earthshaking changes to the college scene, literally removing the "scene" completely. There is no "college scene" anymore, since we were all sent to our rooms and did not get any supper. Interactions between students became non-existent and reducing them to a 1:1 student

The Rabbi searched the Old Testament Scriptures and found Jesus the Messiah Mike's Final Paper In the last Diary entry, we mentioned that Mike asked to write his final paper in his Holocaust class from the perspective of a fictional rabbi in a concentration camp experiencing the full onslaught of evil. This rabbi, however, would be thoroughly versed in the ancient Hebrew Old Testament Scriptures and would rightly apply them to his experience. This would personify the situa

Winds of Change The winds of COVID19 have certainly brought great change to Mike's college experience as a freshman. He initially thought his purpose for God was to interact with students directly, being a voice in the wilderness, bringing a Biblical worldview to their otherwise bereft assessments of life and learning, but God had other plans. With all classes now online as we shelter-in-place, most interactions are with the professor. In the analogy of the old Chinese prov

The Bible says all humanity bears the image of God and thus has value. Picking up where we left off In the previous class (written about in Vol 1 No 10) Mike caused quite a stir when he called out his fellow students for being incongruous. Almost everyone in the class was very vocal about their disdain for the Germans in WWII who devalued and then directly destroyed the Jews and other "deplorables" in perverse and cruel means, or tolerated those who were doing so. The class

"I would never sit by and let murder go on without resisting it!" vehemently protested a young man. "Oh, but you do," Mike said gently. They did not understand that we all are made in the image of God What Made Them Want To Do This? One of the recurring themes for discussion in the class on the Holocaust has been exploring the motivation of the German leadership and the "gemeines volk" or common man. (Yes! Volkswagen was the auto for the "common man!") How did Hitler and h

Last week, we published the ninth entry in our Diary series. Mike had challenged a group of Christians to tell him the Gospel as if he only had three minutes to live. Since then many of you have wanted to know what Mike would say, so we are publishing this special edition of the Diary - How to Tell the True Gospel in Three Minutes! The True Gospel in Three Minutes How can I be saved? I’m glad you understand that you need to be saved from God’s wrath an

The bloody soldier grabbed Leroy and pulled him close and pled, 'Leroy, I'm going to die! Tell me how to not go to hell!'" Leroy stared at him in horror.

Poster from the Pray the Gay Away Meetings on campus Christians love homosexuals This week Mike went to an after-school lecture in the evening attended by about fifty students. The topic was “Pray the Gay Away” and was given by an intersectionalist feminist professor whose stated purpose was to influence the students to think about Christianity as homophobic which equates to hating homosexuals. During the Q & A, Mike challenged through questions about a half dozen of her p

'Did a postmodern engineer build it?' Without hesitation the visiting professor exclaimed, "Oh no! It wouldn't have worked!" Postmodern Deconstruction If you looked at the building above and thought, "What in the world?” you are not alone! Mike's first reaction was, "Was this guy on drugs? What a distorted mess!" He was surprise when his professor showed them this as something to be admired and appreciated for it exemplifies the current mindset being encouraged in architect

A soon-to-be father asked Mike, "What is the key to being a good daddy?" Charlotte is wrestling a book from the clutches of her father's hands so he will play a game with her at Christmas. She won. Being a good father In God’s Providence the professor was late to class today. The students, which included the gray bearded fellow in khakis and plaid shirt, were chit-chatting and a young man said, “My wife is about to have a baby boy and I am going to be a father for the firs

Hitler with the Roman Catholic Pope Christians are the cause of the Holocaust Class began with the professor talking about the causes of the Holocaust and how for millennia, Christians were the major fomenters of antisemitism across the globe. The professor talked about how the German Lutherans and Roman Catholics were Christian and led the way in inciting hatred for the Jews into the 1940's. Going back centuries, he placed particular blame for the Christian culpability at t

The professor lists Jonathan Edwards as the most heinous example of 'institutional cruelty' in the last 300 years

Students are taught that humans only have value if they are "productive."

...our current culture has severed the moorings that have for so long connected us to solid biblical reason and even common sense

This is the first Diary Entry that we published. It tells about Mike's motivation to go to College as a Seventy-year-old College Freshman and has some very interesting interactions with students and professors. "...we are all just fizzing chemical reactions..." How it began Week after week, we met together in prayer with the church. We looked around us and saw a devolving culture. We prayed for what we discerned as some of the root causes and asked God what we could do abou
