“Gallup reports that just 32 percent of Democrats call themselves ‘extremely proud’ of their national identity, compared with 74 percent of Republicans who say the same.”  — Ben Shapiro, Newsweek The amount of anti-American sentiment these days is truly amazing.

“I sought there [in America] an image of democracy itself, its tendencies, its character, its prejudices, its passions; I wanted to know democracy, if only to know at least what we must hope or fear from it.”  — Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America I’m no political historian, but if I had to guess, I’d […]

“These aren’t people, these are animals, and we’re taking them out of the country at a level and a rate that’s never happened before.”  — President Trump, in response to a California sheriff’s frustrations with state “sanctuary” law making it difficult to deal with MS-13 You’ve probably heard about this story already, but allow me […]

Derick Dickens is a Facebook friend of mine whom readers may recall from a previous post. He is a speaker, college Professor, and current PhD candidate. One of his areas of expertise is Christian theology, particularly from a Reformed perspective. As such, he invites questions from his FB friends and engages in many theological and […]

“[The goal of the book] was to give a snapshot of the state of the conversation about origins among evangelical Christians in America….
