“In terms of Christian theory, privatization means that the grand, global umbrella of faith has shrunk to the size of a plastic rain hat. Total life norms have become part-time values. In terms of Christian practice, watch your average Christian business person or politician. Are there family prayers at home

“We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.” — George Orwell, 1984. Civil discourse is nearly dead in the United States. Men and women are being verbally attacked in restaurants, movie theaters, and elsewhere. Maxine Waters, a United States Congresswoman has been telling her supporters

On Facebook, someone asked the question, “Is it ever right to lie?” Some people answered “no.” Others who are more familiar with the Bible noted that there were times when people did lie to save lives. There are numerous stories about how Gentiles lied to the Nazis by hiding Jews,

I saw the following posted on Facebook with a number of Christians responding with “Amen”: “This world is not your home. God is your father. Heaven is your home. You’re going there. Be hopeful.” — John Piper It looks like Piper’s statement is a promotional introduction to the T4G (“Together

Many (most?) churches are not equipped theologically to deal with Christian resistance against tyranny. Too many pastors instruct their parishioners to “submit” no matter what the demand.

Some liberal governors are threatening to disobey laws that may be passed restricting certain liberal policies like immigration, drugs, “climate change,” “travel bans to states over disagreements regarding same-sex rights, and abortion. Good for them on the principle. What if a federal court ruled that gun ownership is no longer

Justice Anthony Kennedy said something so shocking that if a conservative justice had said it, there would be calls for his impeachment or a required psychiatric evaluation to test his sanity. Speaking at Harvard Law School, Justice Anthony Kennedy — author of the unconstitutional Obergefell 5-4 majority same-sex marriage opinion —

There’s been a great deal of discussion about gun rights, gun confiscation, gun free zones, and the most controversial, if Jews had been armed in Germany during the Nazi Party’s rise to power, would it have made a difference? Dr. Ben Carson wrote in his new book A Perfect Union, “Through a

Ministers Taking a Stand, led by president Bishop E.W. Jackson sent a letter last week to Kim Sajet, director of the National Portrait Gallery, asking for the removal of Sanger’s likeness “from all National Portrait Gallery exhibits.” The letter stated in part: Perhaps the Gallery is unaware that Ms. Sanger

During a heated exchange on Fox’s “The Five” about the Planned Parenthood videos, “liberal co-host Geraldo Rivera suggested to fellow co-host Greg Gutfeld that aborted babies should made into ‘dog food.’” He went on to say that he wants “a cure” for various diseases using aborted unborn baby body parts.

I generally like the writings of P. J. O’Rourke. One of my favorites is, “When you think of the good old days, think ‘dentistry.’” Can you imagine dentistry before the advent of precision medical devices and anesthetics, not just for dentistry but for all invasive medical procedures? “The greatest invention

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Nazi Germany . . . everywhere we go.” (Sung to the tune of “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.”) Young people are being enlisted in a campaign to disarm their parents. It’s reminiscent of the Hitler Youth Movement. Hitler Youth Leader

Since the courts have ruled that states can’t bar homosexuals from marrying, it has had an effect on businesses that offer wedding related services. Civil officials are mandating that these business owners serve same-sex clients. Because of their personal beliefs, some have refused. All of them are Christians. A number

The Bible says that a tree is known by its fruit: “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every

Everything Obama and Co. does is to grow the State and give it more control and power over our lives. So why would Homeland Security and later the Justice Department decide not to deport the Romeike family after pursuing the deportation order through the courts where it ended up at

President Obama spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. He said that “killing the innocent” is the “ultimate betrayal of God’s will.” On January 22, the 41st anniversary of Roe v. Wade was marked. Since 1973, there have been 55 million unborn babies murdered in the

One of my worst sins is procrastination. My wife and I are direct opposites in this area. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her procrastinate. She makes me really look bad. As a previous article of mine states, I’m a short-term pessimist but a long-term optimist. In this way, I’m

A Christian professor of philosophy posted the following: “Phil is back on a meaningless show. The Republic is saved.” It’s been said that “culture is upstream from politics.” Duck Dynasty is not high culture, but it’s become the flashpoint of what’s been lacking among conservatives. Not only are the schools,
