After School Satan?
FILE THIS UNDER MISSING THE FOREST FOR THE TREES: Christians as well as other folks are up in arms at the prospect of after-school clubs that openly try and “evangelize” and train students in the dark arts. And obviously we should be. But what most people miss is that this kind of stuff is the…
Read MoreTrump as Cyrus? Really?
I have been told by more than a few sincere Christian friends that the Lord has anointed Donald Trump to be the next president. And I have seen variations of it posted in cyberspace more times now than I can count. God, the gist of it goes, has chosen an admittedly very earthy, earthen vessel…
Read MoreWhen the Curtain Lifts
There are moments in life when a smattering of events suddenly lock into synchronous orbit, ever so slightly lifting the curtain that divides the temporal from the eternal and granting us a deeper glimpse into the Mystery: All the world is truly a stage and each of us are players. And for those who through…
Read MoreDuplicity, Thy Name is Hillary (Clinton on Abortion & Religious Convictions)
On everything from gay marriage (she was against it until she was for it) to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (reverse ditto), Hillary Clinton has become the consummate shape-shifter. But there is another arena where both she and the Democratic party have “evolved”—and that in a most disturbing direction. Ever a supporter of a woman’s so-called “right…
Read MoreDo the Ruskies have the Doomsday Emails, Dr. Strangelove?
Have you ever—accidentally I’m sure—run a red light equipped with a camera and then spent a week or two nervously opening your mail, looking for a citation from the DMV? Well, multiply that anxiety a million-fold and you have an idea how Hillary Clinton and the DNC must feel if the content of just one…
Read MoreThe Perils of Voting One’s Conscience
The vast majority of people who will vote on November 8th will do so based on what their conscience tells them is right. The obvious problem here is that a large percentage of them—likely a sizeable majority—have consciences formed or at least influenced by the vagaries of fallen human reasonings and desires as well as…
Read MoreREVIEW: Hillary’s America–The Secret History of the Democratic Party
I saw “Hillary’s America” last night. I almost didn’t because the Rotten Tomatoes rating was so horrible: a 5% splat. Normally, I add in twenty or so percentage points when a movie or a documentary’s ideological perspective rubs the liberal media’s fur the wrong way. But 5%? Truly, it had to be a real stinker.…
Read MoreThe White Oak Spoke?
This white oak, the oldest in America and more than twice as old as our nation, is dying. Under its spreading branches George Whitefield once preached to 3,000 people as the fires of the Great Awakening began to sweep across the colonies and gave rise to the experiment in Christian liberty that is America. Most…
Read MoreFootnote to “Stolen Valor”: The Orlando Terrorist Attack
I wrote this article very much aware of the specter of the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub a week ago–aware also that my thoughts can be seen and will certainly be interpreted by some as insensitive and just another contribution to the “homophobia” that helps foment acts of aggression towards members of the LGBTQ…
Read MoreSTOLEN VALOR AND THE CAMPAIGN TO NORMALIZE HOMOSEXUALITY
(Important: Please read my comment on this article in light of the terrorist attack in Orlando.) On Friday, June 24, President Obama designated a new national monument at the site of the Stonewall uprising in New York City “to honor the broad movement for LGBT equality”. This was just the latest in a series of…
