“The eruption demonstrated that geologic catastrophe can produce in hours and days geologic features previously believed to have taken millions of years. When we see what the volcano did in such a short time, we can better appreciate how the catastrophe of Noah’s Flood formed the much larger geological features on planet Earth.” — Dr. […]

I have posted before about the threat China poses not just to American dominance but to freedom and prosperity around the […]

You might read that title and think I’m a little weird. But, by the end of this post, you’ll be thankful for the lil fellas, too. (Though you may still think I’m weird.) A few years ago, I was having some digestive issues. (Nothing major.) I don’t remember the details — probably just as well […]

Kanye West — I refuse to call him ‘Ye’ — gets a lot of grief. This has been especially true in recent years, now that he has adopted a largely conservative political view and become a Christian (of some sort). As with Donald Trump, some of the criticism is fair, thanks to his big ego […]

In honor of Reformation Day this year, I opted to provide some information about the teachings of one of the Reformers, John Calvin. A little over a year ago, a Facebook friend shared a rather long post (possibly extracted from an e-book) from someone named Robin Schumacher. I was not familiar with the name at […]
