Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
This morning I walked into a drugstore in downtown Nashville and bought three sacks of blue raspberry Dum-Dums.
The cashier looked at me funny. She casually asked why I was buying so many blue raspberry suckers.
So I told her a story.
In the early chapters of Genesis, we encounter three pivotal instances of human rebellion that have left a profound impact on the course of human history.
When life puts us in an unexpected holding pattern, we can trust that God is present and working—even when all we can see is an empty concourse and a flashing DELAYED sign.

A Democrat candidate for governor of Wisconsin wants to cancel Thanksgiving over colonialism—aka civilizing a savage continent. The anti-white fervor on college campuses has spread to throughout the Democrat Party and the halls of government.
She wants to replace it with a 6-course celebration on menstruation.
Long before Americans argued about flags on social media, our ancestors managed to make a tree politically dangerous. Britain reserved many of New England’s great white pines for the Royal Navy—even trees growing on colonial lands—marking them with the King’s Broad Arrow. The pine became a symbol of something much bigger: ownership, natural rights, independence, and the stubborn belief that free citizens had both the right and responsibility to defend their country. That’s why an evergreen ended up beneath the words “AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN.”
“The goal of socialism is communism” Vladimir Lenin
It has been said that communism will always attempt to come in through the front door. If locked, it will try the back door, if that fails, it will crawl in through a window.
As astonishing as it may seem, the United States is currently witnessing a resurgence of the Bolshevik Revolution, but this time it is occurring within our country. The Bolsheviks transformed Russia and much of the world, turning it upside down. They had few allies and faced numerous adversaries across every continent.
Even during the spiritual “dog days,” when our hearts feel weary and our motivation fades, God invites us to keep seeking Him and promises to renew our strength.
We have millions of people living in the United States today who are not American citizens. They come from countless other nations, most of which do not share our morals or values. Many worship false — and violent — gods. Many follow false religions, and cults with radical ideologies. What’s even worse is that today, we have many government officials, leaders, and people in powerful positions of control that have no business being there, because they’ve never met the requirements for US Citizenship, they have contempt for our US Constitution and have no intention of ever assimilating to our culture.

Before the skies cleared over the Battle of the Bulge, General George S. Patton didn’t call for another committee meeting—he called for a chaplain. While modern America places its faith in technology, data, and bureaucracy, Patton believed victory required something more. He prepared relentlessly, commanded fearlessly, and then bowed his head in prayer. Days later, the weather broke, Allied aircraft filled the skies, and Patton pinned a Bronze Star on the chaplain who had written the famous weather prayer. Whether you call it coincidence or providence, one of America’s greatest generals never apologized for believing that faith belonged on the battlefield alongside tanks, artillery, and courage.
God pours out showers of grace and righteousness on His people, then sends us into the world to become a blessing to others.
I’m sure some of you have noticed I haven’t been writing as much as I used to. I get lots of emails asking why this is. Many of these emails are ultra-friendly emails, beginning with the words, “WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!!!?”
To answer this, I need to start by telling you about our trip to Spain.
Consider the act of forcing someone to use a pronoun that isn’t their God given identity. That makes us complicit in a lie. We are knowingly speaking an untruth.
Morgan arrived at the little lake cabin around lunchtime. Her sorority sister Grace was driving the car. The car wheeled into the gravel driveway. When Morgan crawled out of the passenger seat, we all rushed her and embraced.
God has placed you exactly where you are, at exactly this moment, with the gifts and opportunities you need to faithfully serve Him—for such a time as this.
I can’t really say I was surprised. Rather, it was one of those, “what will they think of next” moments. Recently, the news came that “Road Rage” is not really anyone’s fault. Instead, like most of the character flaws we don’t want to take the responsibility for, it’s now become a medical problem, something beyond our control.
Jesus of Nazareth’s life, teachings, and the miracles attributed to him have sparked profound discussions and debates across cultures and centuries.
Morning. I am driving two-lane highways in the backcountry of Missouri. I have been sharing the highway with mostly rusty pickups and Massey Ferguson farm implements. Also deer.
Missouri. The place where the western prairie meets the southern cotton patches. It’s a foreign land to me.
You’d never know I was born in Missouri. You’d never guess my father died in Missouri.
A culture comfortable with white lies and half-truths challenges Christians to pursue the harder calling of speaking truth with both honesty and love.
