Another Thanksgiving is upon us. But it’s amazing how ungrateful people can be these days. One comedian quipped, “My grandfather tried to warn everyone that the Titanic was going to sink. Besides not believing him, they also expelled him from the movie theater!” Ingratitude runs deep in the human race. But as Christians we are […]
Around this time of year, when we remember our veterans, grade-school children in a Washington state school won’t be taught to honor those who have served our country. Instead of a Veterans Day celebration, the school will have a peace and tolerance assembly. The school-wide gathering scheduled for November 15th this year at Benjamin Rush […]
After Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson was voted in as the Speaker of the House, many on the left threw a fit about him. He has been described as: an “extremist” by Congresswoman AOC of New York City. a “Christian Nationalist” by a Christian professor (John Fea, Messiah College). a “staunch conservative on issues like abortion […]
It’s amazing how, in our age of the great unraveling, we see the value of a college education imploding before our eyes. The evil Hamas did in Israel on October 7th, 2023—leaving 1400 Israelis dead in brutal attacks on men, women, children, and even babies—revealed their true goals. But many college students are defending them. […]
George Washington, the father of our country, envisioned an America where people of all faiths could enjoy peace. In 1790, he wrote to the synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island: “May the children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabitants, while […]
It seems that just about every time there’s a major conflict in the Middle East—such as the recent horrific attacks by Hamas on Israeli men, women, and children—someone raises the question: Are we on the way to Armageddon? Is the end of the world just around the corner? Armageddon is listed in the book of […]
What’s that book those presidents swear in on every four years? Of course, it’s the Bible. Is it just a prop or is there meaning to that tradition? One of the great religious liberty groups in our day is First Liberty, founded by Kelly Shackelford and based in the Dallas area. First Liberty is fighting […]
In scanning the headlines, it’s amazing how many of them chronicle the fall of those who have given themselves over into one temptation after another. We are all sinners. We all need the salvation Christ has provided for sinners through His atoning death. But when He enters a life and forgives the sinner who […]
Communists are burning flags in Chicago. If you will, they were “trying that in a large town” in their protests at a Jason Aldean concert in the Windy City. Aldean is best known for his hit, “Try That in a Small Town.” FoxNews.com reports, “The protesters were raising awareness of RevCom (Revolutionary Communist Party), which […]
September 17th each year marks the historic moment in “the year of our Lord 1787” when the Constitution was signed in Philadelphia. This was a great milestone in world history. More of the constitutions around the world have been patterned after our nation’s governing document than any other frame of government. But today the Constitution […]
By now, word has gotten out about a 12-year-old boy in a Colorado school getting in trouble, temporarily, because of a small patch seen on his backpack. That boy is Jaiden Rodriguez, and he attends a charter school in Colorado Springs, Vanguard Secondary School. The patch is a small reproduction of the Gadsden flag. This […]
This is a dark hour in our country. It is a time when cultural Marxists are trying to tear down our republic. The crisis revolving around Donald J. Trump may well impact the future of our country. Love him or hate him, since when do politicians in the United States of America get arrested and […]
Virtually every week there is some new attack on America as founded. Each one represents more chipping away at our nation’s Judeo-Christian roots. As a nation, we suffer from what I call “American Amnesia.” Here’s a recent example. There is a town about 30 miles away from San Francisco named in honor of Concord, Massachusetts, […]
Last week, in scanning various headlines, I was delighted to see—among all the bad news—this story: “George Washington’s 110 Rules of Civility.” The link they have brings the reader to the Mount Vernon website. This isn’t advice George Washington doled out. Rather, it’s a series of aphorisms that he learned as a youth that greatly […]
Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness, as the old saying goes. One man who is lighting many candles in our time—yea, even floodlights—is Kirk Cameron. The founders of America were very clear that for the American experiment to work, we the people need to be virtuous. And where does that virtue […]
