Life begins at birth?
If life doesn’t begin until birth, who was that in your mother’s womb?

It’s the end of an era…
Hey everyone…
On 11th June 2010, I posted my first article on this blog. As hard as it is to imagine, that was ten years ago…
I began with a free WordPress blog over at thisrestlesspilgrim.wordpress.com, and then I upgraded to get my own domain. I started posting once or twice a week, but after a few months committed to publishing something every day. To date, I have posted a little over 3,600 posts…
Well, today things come to an end. As you may know, in a few months I’ll be getting married and entering a new phase of life. In light of this, while will still from time-to-time still write articles, I’ve decided to stop posting here every day. Since today is my birthday, it seemed like a good day to draw things to a close.
This new chapter in my life will require my full attention…and it’s going to be great 🙂
Cheers,
David.

Swearing
I’ve recently been involved in a number of conversations about Christianity and swearing.
This week, a Catholic friend whom I very much respect suggested the possibility that it might be okay to “swear intentionally in the proper context”. I took some time to write a substantial reply on social media, so I thought I’d share it here as well, as I think it sums up my main thoughts on the subject…
Objections To Swearing
1. Biblical Baseline
The first objection I see to swearing is the clear motif from Scripture concerning Christian speech. To begin with, we are told that the words of our mouth are important:
