Who Is Inciting Violence?

Posted by on January 31, 2021 at 7:09 pm

I found the following in an email from Mat Staver, Chairman of Liberty Council Action. I’d been thinking along the same lines, and I’m glad someone tracked down and put these quotes together. “After violence, damage, and the death of a former police officer, who do you think said: “This is a movement, I’m telling […]

Preface: This article is not a reaction to any specific current event, though it is relevant to the general state of affairs in the U.S. and elsewhere. I have also seen instances recently of people quoting or pointing to Romans 13 in Facebook posts and articles. I would like to present three arguments that the […]

Our Country, Capitol, and Character

Posted by on January 10, 2021 at 8:01 pm

I’m struggling. Struggling with feelings of anger, frustration, appallment, disappointment, fear, sadness, etc., in regards to both our nation (the U.S.) and the invasion of the U.S. Capitol building by mostly-pro-Trump protesters on Jan. 6. (And it was neither an attempted “coup” nor “domestic terrorism”, by the way.) On the other hand, the Bible says […]

Posted by on January 3, 2021 at 7:53 pm

“The remarkable confluence of the COVID-19 pandemic with the advances in mRNA vaccines has one of two possible explanations: It’s either a fortuitous accident or a reflection of God’s providential timing and faithful provision to humanity.” — Dr. Fazale Rana, V.P. of Research and Apologetics, Reasons to Believe To be honest, I have not yet […]

Many long-time readers of this blog will remember that for several years (2014-2018) I ended each year with a “Top 10” post. For whatever reason(s), I didn’t do that for 2019, but I decided to share 10 this week from 2019-2020. As usual, my hope is that someone will find an enjoyable read or three […]

Gen. Steven L. Kwast, USAF (Ret.) I have written before about the threat that Communist China represents, and I have written […]

The Blessing of Fossil Fuels, part 3: The 97 Percent Fabrication

Posted by on November 15, 2020 at 7:27 pm

Concluding our impromptu series of citations from Alex Epstein’s book, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels (2014), this week’s post addresses a commonly heard claim by environmental activist-types that has resulted from compounded misrepresentations of actual scientific research. Mr. Epstein, if you will… “This brings us to the oft-cited comment that 97 percent of climate […]

“I will not rest until the American people have the honest vote count they deserve and that democracy demands.” — President Donald Trump President Trump refuses to concede the election, and I don’t blame him! Some are calling for Trump to just “let it go” in the name of peace and unity, etc. For those […]

Voting Christianly, part 2: With Biblical Principles in Mind

As with yesterday’s bonus post, today’s post is a citation of recent Facebook comments by Scott Klusendorf, President of Life Training Institute, the formatting of which I have adjusted for readability. “Yesterday, a pastor of a politically diverse congregation asked what he should say to his people about voting. Here is what I sent him… […]
