To my readers, I apologize for the disruption in my regular, weekly posts, which began last week (12/1/2024). I had been getting increasingly sick in the preceding weeks and finally ended up in the hospital early Thanksgiving morning (11/28/2024). Without going into detail, they kept me there for a week until they got a handle […]
“Price-fixing always does harm and it is never a cure for inflation.” — Hazlitt & Wesbury In May 1972, the first issue of Imprimis featured an article (“The Dangers of Price Controls”) by Henry Hazlitt, the noted author/journalist on matters of business and economics. The Federal Reserve had been printing a lot of money to […]
Last month, I blogged on “YouTube Channels I Enjoy and You Might, Too: Science & Tech”, and this is the first of two follow-ups on different subject areas. Even the two terms “politics and culture” don’t quite communicate everything I crowd under this informational umbrella, so to speak. Add in societal issues and history and […]
“Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.” — Charles H. Spurgeon, Christian theologian known as the ‘Prince of Preachers’ Regular reading in God’s Word is an important part of Christian life and practice (Psalm 119; John 8:31-32; 2 Tim. 3:16-17). But, to be honest, it isn’t always easy. Sometimes it’s the particular book […]
“I’ll never turn to the dark side. You have failed, your highness.” — Luke Skywalker So-called “progressives” these days tend to see everything through a progressive lens. (That’s an optometry pun, by the way.) When they aren’t declaring innocent things (e.g., PBJ sandwiches) as racist or feminist or Nazi or whatever, they are claiming decades-old […]
“Like the proverbial frog slowly boiled to death for failing to detect the rising temperature of the water, we are sleepwalking toward tyranny.” — Joe Boot, Ruler of Kings I have cited twice before from Ruler of Kings: Toward a Christian Vision of Government, written by apologist, pastor, and cultural theologian Rev. Dr. Joseph Boot. […]
“One thing that even the son of God can’t do. Even Jesus cannot override your unbelief.” — Steven Furtick, founder & pastor of Elevation Church We’re gonna do a little Biblical exegesis and theology today, folks! Some Bible teachers, particularly among (but not limited to) charismatics, use Mark 6:5 as evidence that Jesus Christ could […]
I thought it might be fun to share a few of the YouTube channels that I go to for information in the areas that I typically blog about. In this case, in the “science and technology” arena. (However, I don’t think I’ve ever actually blogged on something I found on one of these channels.) In […]
“Final authority resides only with the Author of all creation, who places human beings in His creation, made in His image, and subject to His Law-Word for all things. This is no less true in biology and history than in political science or theology.” — Joe Boot, Ruler of Kings I finished a book a […]
“A bipartisan Senate report released Wednesday blasts the U.S. Secret Service for several significant failures that led to the near-fatal assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in Butler County, Pennsylvania, over the summer.” — Casey Harper, The Center Square The interim report referenced in the above quote was released by Senators Gary Peters (D-MI), […]
