Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
I have some key themes I use often today.
1. If you are a man or woman of Christian faith, you are supposed to be outnumbered and outgunned in the secular world. Embrace this fact and cling to God.
and
2. Stop looking for a leader; be one.
What first seems like an aggravation can become a reminder that God is often at work through the very things we are tempted to resent.
What in the world has happened to our pastors and churches? How did we stray so unbelievably far from the example that Christ and His disciples set forth — examples and commands we find in God’s Word, which is not “outdated” or “irrelevant” but rather, essential for proper and orderly worship of God, reverence for our Creator and Sustainer and vital for making modern day, Christ-following disciples?
Today, we Americans are marching to a new ‘Path to Glory” for our country much as our founders and ancestors had to do. Today, we must continue to be Americans First citizens and rise above partisan politics and political parties. We must face the future solving our problems and plans looking through a reality prism not a political one and seek to restore this great country, our Republic and the Constitution. The goal ahead is to select common-sense leaders who understand our challenges and have the vision to lead us to a secure America so all can be in the pursuit of happiness and a thankful life.
I woke up thinking about you. There I was, at 4:41 a.m., sitting in my living room, wondering about you.
I heard the doctor gave you bad news. And I couldn’t help but imagine how afraid you must be.
After the 50th Wedding Anniversary celebrations for a Classmate and his wife in Florida, another Classmate and I went to church with them before we left for home. It was another Evangelical church on fire for the Lord Jesus Christ! So much so that they are planting another church about 15 minutes away. On their own. No help from any church hierarchy or authority.
This month marks another anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. For generations, this tragic story has captivated hearts and minds. The loss of the Titanic left a shaken world in disbelief and made people stop and think. I, personally, became deeply intrigued by the Titanic from the moment I learned of the story as a young child.
The Gospels record Christ’s ministry to the four groups of people, then and now in the world. Matthew speaks to the Jews and the deeply religious of our day. The Jews who loved the Scriptures and the prophecies of God. They would only listen to one of their own. Mark spoke to the Romans. These …
The failure of the Israelites to fully carry out God’s command regarding the Amalekites has been cited as a contributing factor to continued chaos and disorder in the Middle East, echoing throughout history as a lesson in the consequences of disobedience to divine instruction.
A gas station. Rural east Texas. A young man sits in front of the ice machine, and he’s babbling nonsense. He is shirtless. He is dirty. People pass him as they walk into the convenience store.
But one old man doesn’t.
Pope Leo XIV and the Trump Administration are clashing on important matters, from immigration to the welfare state, from natural defense to the 1400 year struggle against global jihad.
I was in a hotel with a few hundred Mennonites.
I walked into the hotel at noon. At first, I was confused inasmuch as the lobby was full of cape dresses, plain suits, and broad-brimmed hats. Some of the older men had beards, some were clean-shaven. The women wore head coverings.
I thought maybe I’d taken a wrong turn on the interstate.
Dearly Beloved,
Today is Yom HaShoah. The Jewish holy day for remembering the Holocaust. And I must admit, dear friends, standing before you all, here in this beautiful synagogue, wearing this tiny hat, I am feeling very out of place. And humbled.
In the silent, confusing days after the Crucifixion, the disciples wrestled with grief, fear, and doubt—yet God was already preparing the resurrection they could not yet see.
What does it mean to you to be a Christian? When you hear someone say they’re a “Christian,” what does that actually mean? Does it mean they attend a church on a regular basis? Does it mean they grew up in a Christian family and believe in God? Does it mean they once prayed a “sinner’s prayer” — perhaps as a child at summer camp? I ask these things because when people tell me they’re a “Christian,” I have to wonder, because “being a Christian” doesn’t seem to mean what it used to mean.
Helping you connect with God. Every day. Every way.
In the quest to emulate godly attributes, men often find themselves at a crossroads: to transform chaos into order or to unleash chaos upon order. This dichotomy, inspired by the insights of scholar Michael Heiser but infused with my own perspective, delves into the essence of human nature and the paths we choose.
“Yeah, I got a story for you,” said the old woman in the nursing home.
She had midnight skin, dandelion-fuzz hair, and she smoked Newports. Each day she liked to park her wheelchair in the parking lot where she could face the supermarket, and watch all the happy customers walk in and out of Publix.
Usually, Sunday is when I pen (actually peck out) my weekly Op Ed. What else should be written on Easter, other than Easter? It’s the singularly greatest event since the creation of the Universe. The point in time and space when the Creator of the Universe reconciled His created beings to Himself. The Creator becoming one of his creations in the Incarnation is huge, but not as big as the Resurrection.
