My specific point of conflict is the pervasive attitude that the writers of the New Testament epistles just kinda made stuff up as they were constructing their corpus under the - [Words of Affirmation](https://www.drstevecassell.com/words-of-affirmation/) - I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me! Does anybody remember “Stuart Smalley”… the self-affirmation guru that, just a few years ago, was the mocking face of the rise of insincerity being promoted for the cause of ‘therapeutic individualism’? In a shocking, and nearly prophetic, turn of events, we now live - [In or Out?](https://www.drstevecassell.com/in-or-out/) - Context is king (with a small ’k’)… This blog will have a different flavor to it because my goal is to inspire by information in a category that some readers might not be highly interested in.

As agonizing as - [Good News!](https://www.drstevecassell.com/good-news/) - It has become very unpopular today to be a good person. Well, that is to say, a good person as defined by a good God.

Testing...](https://www.drstevecassell.com/testing-testing/) - Our culture today has twisted the idea of ‘testing’ into an inhumane process akin to the antiquated ignorance of expired principles like ‘honor your father and mother,’ ‘be ye holy,’ and ‘respect your elders.’ Sadly, this anti-testing attitude has been pervading the church for decades as well. Many conversations where a Godly leader or elder could be lovingly - [Wax On, Wax Off](https://www.drstevecassell.com/wax-on-wax-off/) - What is the melting point of wax? From the Garden of Eden's forbidden fruit to the Tower of Babel's prideful ascent, the sin of hubris has cast a long shadow on humanity.

This arrogance, - [Her](https://www.drstevecassell.com/her/) - This is for the women. But, the wise fellas out there will listen up.

When I find myself immersed in a culture divergent from our own in America, I cannot help but have vast theological and geopolitical thoughts while observing the differences.

And we have all learned the principle of our health being a derivative of the prosperity of our soul (3 John 2). Part of the cause for that widening chasm is how our destructive media and social influencers fawn and affirm - [Logical Communication](https://www.drstevecassell.com/logical-communication/) - When I was a youngster, my dad introduced me to the Chronicles of Narnia series of books. Even as young as five years old, I would love to read, which in my opinion, is the key to all intellectual growth, whether we are speaking of general cognitive health or revelatory spiritual wisdom. The first book I ever - [I Must Confess](https://www.drstevecassell.com/i-must-confess/) - I am a Catholic. But, I am not a Roman one.

This word - [War of the Words](https://www.drstevecassell.com/war-of-the-words/) - As many of you already know, I am not the kinda guy who has any value about the ever-changing ‘hype’ in our ridiculous and irreverent society.

The emotions, the hype, the ‘historical moment’ complex, the pressure, and the glitzy advertising were like a road grater rolling over an ant mound on a gravel road. Then reality, like the joy of a mortgage payment, started its painful rise from the - [The Lone Ranger](https://www.drstevecassell.com/the-lone-ranger/) - Those of you who are, “old,” like me may remember the ‘Lone Ranger’ phenomenon.

A watershed - [Chosen By Grace](https://www.drstevecassell.com/chosen-by-grace/) - When you look out across the landscape of our society, what do you see? It is undeniable to acknowledge the moral deviancy, the open satanic practices through Hollywood technicolor, and the concerted targeting of the identity of our young people. The once well-sewn seams of culture, stitched through divine design, have now become an open target - [Transformers](https://www.drstevecassell.com/transformers/) - It’s beginning to look a lot like _____!

The ageless struggle afflicting all humanity is based on our common, societal experience. That struggle is the endless war that has raged since our removal from the perfect Garden of Eden until we experience the apocalyptic restoration of the new heavens and the new earth. For much of each of our - [Cosmos](https://www.drstevecassell.com/cosmos/) - The corrupted, societal influences that surround us all have been enormously successful in forcing the thought patterns of humanity into the direction they predetermine.

Three of the main - [DO IT!](https://www.drstevecassell.com/do-it/) - War… huh… Good God y’all. What is it good for, absolutely nothing.
