About
I am Hal Hammons, a citizen of heaven. I broadcast regular reports of what it is for a child of God to live in Satan's world. My reports typically break down into four segments:"What I've been preaching" -- a point I have made in a recent sermon."What I've been reading" -- A brief breakdown of a book of the Bible or other reading material that has helped me in my understanding or application of the Bible."What I've been hearing" -- news from the internet or other sources about what is going on, either among brothers and sisters in Christ or out in the world at large."What I've been playing" -- how I've been entertaining myself in my spare time, and some spiritual points I have been able to extract.

REASON: Where it comes up short. "Atlas Shrugged" (2). A right to your own life. Monopoly (2).
We revisit Ayn Rand’s philosophy of objectivism this week. Solomon said wisdom excels foolishness as light excels darkness. But he never intended reas...
AYN RAND: Selfishness. "Atlas Shrugged." Existence exists. Monopoly.
Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism has either inspired or infuriated her readers for more than a half-century now. That’s fine. But many Christians ...
IDEALISM: The "perfect" paradox. "A Hobbit, ..." (3). Church splits. Secret Hitler.
Idealism is a two-edged sword. We need something perfect or near-perfect to use as a target. But continually aiming for and missing an ideal mark can ...
PROGRESS: Ebenezer. "A Hobbit, A Wardrobe, and a Great War" (2). Progressive Christianity. Crystal Palace.
Progress is forward movement. We have a tendency to think of it as inherently good and more or less inevitable. In truth, neither of those is true — e...
