A Mother’s Day Thanks to a Woman I Have Never Met
Adopted children experience a broad range of different emotions. This Mother’s Day I feel gratitude for a woman I have never met.
Love Never Tires, Love Never Quits
This message from a layman at a 2022 Easter “Sonrise” Service is about how human love is great, but the love we get from God never tires and never quits. And, it gives special free gifts.
O Happy Day!
When we were growing up, my brother and I never got Easter baskets. Easter meant going to church and getting new Easter clothes. Our parents (actually, we just blame Mom–sorry, Mom) wanted to instill in us that Easter was not about rabbits or chocolate eggs, but rather about the resurrection of Jesus. We understood …
How Wonderful It Is To Be Alive
War, pandemic, personal tragedy, suffering, loss – everything bad is the dark shadow opposite of what stands in the light as good. Life and love are good. God is good. All the time. No matter what. NO MATTER WHAT.
The Path to Wisdom
The wisest king who ever lived was King Solomon. How can we be as wise as Solomon?
Dems Hate What Justice Thomas Stands For
Over the past three decades, Democrats and their media shills have painted the most negative image of Thomas in a relentless effort to discredit his every decision or dissent from the bench.
College. Worth Less, More And More
College. Worth Less, More And More Another example of why universities are becoming less for education and training, more for indoctrination of young people. A few months back I was reading an article in Medium, a liberal online column site. I only subscribe because a close friend started writing for them last year, and I love …
Walking to Jerusalem
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem (Road Trip!). In summary, Jesus started that final trip in a great crowd, but when He made His final steps, He was alone. Of course, we know that the cross was not the end of the story, and with the Resurrection, …
What’s Your New Normal?
We’ve all experienced disappointment, sadness, and grief. Maybe a good friend let you down or moved away. Perhaps your pet disappeared. Or your spouse or significant other fell out of love with you. Maybe your church is changing. The last two years have been brutal in taking things away from us. We lost the ability …
God’s Army vs the Transhumanists
God’s going to have to recast the source-of-all-evil adulteress as a transhumanist. He must have known this day was coming and used the adulteress as symbolic of anything that presents an ideal world that leads you farther from God. At least the seductress was human with longings, dreams, and weaknesses like all of us. Maybe …
Road Trip!
When it comes to taking a road trip, do you plan all of the details ahead of time, or are you more likely to figure it out when you get to your destination? What was Jesus’ final road trip?
Where the Brave Go When There’s Nowhere Left to Go: The Story of Colonel Nick “Five Years to Freedom” Rowe
Man, woman, young, old, soldier, civilian—everyone will find the inspiration, comfort, or push they need from James N. Rowe’s story of captivity. The Special Forces Intelligence Officer and man eventually responsible for developing the US Army’s SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) training program was one of only two men to escape the Viet Cong.
God’s Road Map for Resisting Nefarious Technology
There is such a thing as justifiable anger. Anger can cloud thinking and prompt rash action—or it can be used to think and plan appropriate responses to what’s currently going on in our country and across the globe.
Hope in the Face of A Seemingly Impossible Mission
Nehemiah didn’t tell anyone his plans. He scouted out the job at night, under the cover of darkness, with only a few other men, all Special Forces-like. Then he went to the city leaders and got them on board with his plan. Next the disorganized citizenry was made responsible for rebuilding a portion of the wall or repairing a gate.
Deepening Your Religious Practice Is Resistance
God allows us free will; there’s plenty of warning and urging to surrender our lives to Him, but there’s no arm-twisting or mind-bending neuropsychological control, unless you consider Jesus a psyop warrior, and the bible does not back you up on that.
The Military Grace Notes of Winnie-The-Pooh
So, where did this Pooh-as-PTSD narrative begin? Apparently, a group of Canadian doctors, led by Sarah E. Shea, a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in pediatric behavioral medicine, wrote a paper in the Dec. 12, 2000 edition of the Canadian Medical Association Journal entitled “Pathology in the Hundred Acre Wood: a neurodevelopmental perspective on A.A. Milne.” The intent was to poke fun at her profession and to call attention to the ease by which psychologists labeled people, especially children, and then reflexively prescribed medication or a cocktail of medicines.
