“Never forget.” — various The following is the better part of an email from Kay C. James, President of The Heritage Foundation, as she reflects on what happened on and as a result of 9/11/2001: “Every American felt the crippling anguish deep in our souls as we realized our nation was under attack and as […]
I confess, I’m not familiar with the “Drive Thru History” channel on YouTube. But, I heard about this, and it is a very good (roughly 1 hour) documentary on the tragic, historic events of 9/11/2001. “Through incredible video footage and narration, this special walks through the events of 9/11, highlighting stories of terrorism and heroism, […]
“Did you not see the radical, destructive, anti-Christian policy decisions he would make?” — Michael Brown The following is an edited-down version of a column by Christian theologian, apologist, and radio host Dr. Michael Brown. I largely agree with Brown’s position and his frustration with the incredulity of pro-life evangelicals who voted for Joe Biden. […]
“The Biden administration is not lacking the resources, they’re lacking the will to get our people out. All our resources and energy should be focused on getting Americans home safely.” — Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), veteran of War in Afghanistan and Navy reservist Like several of his colleagues in Congress, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL)* is […]
When Oregon’s governor, Kate Brown (D), signed Senate Bill 744 into law on July 14, there was no bill-signing ceremony, plus she waited 15 days to slip the new law into Oregon’s legislative database. Why? She probably knew it was a bad idea, and critics would rip her a new one. And rightly so… The […]
Just a short lesson this week on recognizing three types of figure of speech found in the Old Testament. Now, there are various types of figures of speech — idioms, euphemisms, anthropomorphisms, merisms, hyperbole, simple metaphors, etc. During my recent read-through of the Bible in the NET translation, I noticed (thanks to the footnotes) that […]
The battle over infrastructure bills and what actually, fairly constitutes “infrastructure” continues. I wrote about this back in April when the $2.25 trillion bill was in play. The current $1.1 trillion federal infrastructure bill is being sold as a reasonable, centrist compromise. Yeah… right! (sarc) Here are a few quotes from an opinion-piece by Kay […]
The following insightful remarks are from Dr. Owen Strachan, Provost and Research Professor of Theology at Grace Bible Theological Seminary. I’m not certain, but they may be excerpted either from Strachan’s latest book, Christianity and Wokeness, or an upcoming one. Regardless, I think he drops some much-needed truth bombs (as one FB commenter put it). […]
A common challenge one hears (or reads) from non-Christians — usually atheists — is something along the lines of: “You’re just a Christian because you were raised in America. If you were raised in [insert country], you’d be [insert country’s dominant religion].” It is meant to make one’s Christian faith sound like it’s merely due […]
“Why do these conservative politicians think the words ‘radical socialist agenda’ still scare anyone in a time when the state can tell us whether we can have Aunt Mabel over for Christmas? They are completely out of touch.” — Mark Steyn, author & columnist Sometimes ya just gotta wonder what the D.C. politicians are thinking, […]
