“[S]omething is going on and black voters are breaking with past voting patterns.” — Star Parker, president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education In the 2016 election, only 8% of Black voters supported Donald Trump. That number increased to 12% in 2020. As of a poll taken by Siena College and the New […]
As planned, this week continues our look at what a few of the best study Bibles have to say about Genesis 6:1-4 — the passage that first speaks of “sons of God” and the Nephilim (or giants). It is one of the most curious and hard to completely interpret passages in the Bible. Of course, […]
There are many Bible passages that can be shocking (especially to our modern minds) or confusing. Typically, though, a better understanding of some of the cultural background can help, or a better understanding of God’s nature/attributes and purposes, etc. But, there are a small number of such passages that leave even the most knowledgeable pastor […]
This week on Science Sunday… The following citation is another from Improbable Planet by Hugh Ross, specifically the 14th chapter, “Finishing Touches”. In this particular section, Ross looks at extinction during the Devonian period and speciation during the Carboniferous. It is all fascinating, especially when one considers the multitude of factors involved that had to […]
“The only organization that has a prayer of providing the necessary insight into [the multiple international threats we face today] is the CIA. We have no time to waste in returning it to fighting form.” — Charles ‘Sam’ Faddis, author and 20-year veteran as a CIA operations officer You might remember that I wrote a […]
If you haven’t heard of Brad Polumbo before, he is one of those rare birds — a “gay conservative”. Not as conservative as, say, Guy Benson. (In at least one podcast, Brad implied that he is more “center-right / moderate”.) But, he is certainly anti the most woke stuff, which he talks about and reacts […]
“It is a popular delusion that the government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money.” — P.J. O’Rourke, political satirist and journalist Since taking over the task from the late Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) in 2015, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has […]
Let’s end the year with some cool science, OK? Would you be surprised if I told you that the following citation comes from the book Improbable Planet (2016) by Hugh Ross? (I didn’t think so.) In Chapter 12 Ross talks about the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system for the amazing edifice we call “Earth”. […]
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.” — usually attributed to Abraham Lincoln or Mark Twain In case you haven’t guessed, I (sometimes) enjoy reading and learning about Christian theology and church history, etc. But, as tends to happen in life, sometimes I think I […]
I was just reading Jonah Goldberg’s article “My Merit — Your Racism” and wanted to share this particular paragraph: “I dwell on this because it helps illustrate the heads-we-win-tails-you-lose nature of this whole topic. The country spends billions on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies for hiring. Corporations, universities, unions, and major media organizations all […]
