“I am the change St. Petersburg needs. I solve problems. I don’t just take photos.”  — Anna Paulina Luna As Director of Hispanic Engagement at Turning Point USA and a former guest commentator on Fox News, Anna Paulina Luna is no stranger to American politics and social issues. This self-described proud “Chicana” has also been […]

Those who dislike or despise President Trump are fond of blaming his “inflammatory rhetoric” for the violence committed by others, from the local racist jerk to terrorists and psychopaths. In fact, they were seemingly justified in these accusations, thanks to a study conducted by three professors at the University of North Texas and Texas A&M. […]

What do Benny Hinn, the Big Bang, and Joe Biden’s gun-grab have in common? Nothing, as far as I can tell, other than the prominence of the letter “B” and the fact that all three show up in this blogpost. Stick with me… Despite having gotten a good-sized post published on time last Sunday, the […]

Having parallel accounts within the Bible for some events and incidents is great for biblical study purposes and for apologetics. The Synoptic Gospels (i.e., Matthew, Mark, Luke) are notable for this. But, they can also be a double-edged sword, so to speak, when certain details seem to be inconsistent between accounts.

A: Greenland, of course. As you may have heard, President Trump recently began […]

“We have reason to believe that Google is knowingly, deliberately, strategically manipulating people’s thinking and behavior from the very first character people type into the search box.” — Dr. Robert Epstein This past July, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee — specifically, the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution — held a Congressional hearing about unethical […]

In case you hadn’t heard, Joshua Harris (no relation), one of the leading lights of “purity culture”, is no longer promoting the practices he wrote about in the popular I Kissed Dating Goodbye (1997/2003). But, this is only part of the serious and surprising changes going on with Harris. Harris would follow up that first […]

“MINAHASA: an Indonesian people inhabiting the Minahasa Peninsula of northeast Sulawesi” — Merriam-Webster Do you ever get really grossed out when you see or hear what certain other cultures eat? Certainly, missionaries and other visitors from one part of the world to another will encounter some “delicacies” that seem awfully strange, even disgusting. Why is […]

I didn’t post one in June, but this week I’d like to continue my series of excerpts from Hugh Ross’s book A Matter of Days, 2nd ed., about scientific measurements for distance and, especially, time (e.g., the age of the Earth and certain things on it).
