A Cultural Dilemma

Posted by Martin Murphy on Friday, June 25, 2010, In : World Views 
The identity of a cultural dilemma is the necessary diagnosis for cultural recovery.  The prognosis requires the imperative.  The introduction of postmodernity to the American culture paved the way to this neo-dark age.  The sophists worked covertly, but deliberately building world views contrary to rational thought.  The sophisticated postmodern deconstructionist scrupulously avoided the rules for intelligent human discourse.  They decimated the Christian world view with the slight of tongue...

Victimizationalism

Posted by Martin Murphy on Wednesday, June 16, 2010, In : World Views 
The headline in the local newspaper was “State Department of Education will go after BP” (British Petroleum) to recover revenues because of the oil spill.  The rationale was state sales tax will be down because of the oil spill and therefore the school system will have less revenue.  The irony is that the education budget is a perpetual problem.

I recently finished my manuscript on Hosea.  It is a brief commentary, exposition and application of the book of Hosea.  The title is “Return to the Lord.”  It is so titled because God’s people, God’s people, not unbelievers are commanded to return to the Lord.  “O Israel, return to the Lord your God, For you have stumbled because of your iniquity; Take words with you and return to the Lord” (Hosea 14:1).  Based on 30 plus years of experience with evangelical churches, I doubt if ...

About Me


Martin Murphy My first priority in life is spending time with my wife and enjoying life together. Next on the list is writing books. After spending nearly 30 years in the class room, the pulpit, the lectern, the study, and the library, I now devote most of my time consolidating my academic and practical gains by writing books. My web site is titled "Writing My Books" because last year my wife kept insisting that I start writing before it was too late. Every day counts when most of life is in the past. I starting writing my books last summer and my wife would often ask "what are you doing?" My answer was "writing my book." When I proposed the idea of a web site about my writing project I asked my wife "what should I name it?" Without a second thought she said "writing my books." I have a B.A. in Bible from Columbia International University and a Master of Divinity from Reformed Theological Seminary.
