Joy Comes in the Morning
Less than a year ago, many members of our local United Methodist Church (UMC) left and formed a new congregation. Here’s the end of one story and the beginning of another.
Religion
The Last and Greatest Creation
What can we learn from someone living four or five thousand years ago that is applicable today?
Fifty Years Of Being Wrong
The left’s new triune religion is Climate-Abortion-Trans. These philosophies are the unholy trinity of the religion of the left.
The Old Jew and the Indian
The Hebrews, like the Stoics, did not have the benefit of modern science, neither were they fools. Their brightest people looked at the world that surrounded them and tried to make sense of it in the same way that we do.
The Cave Painting and the Grave
The cave painting and the grave tell us that early man was aware of himself and thought about himself as an individual, and as mortal.
The Left Really Despises Freedom of Speech
The American Revolution was slowly being brewed by the resentments our colonial forebears felt for the really not that oppressive rule by King George III across the wide Atlantic Ocean, and Parliament’s desire that the colonists pay for the costs of their own defense in the French and Indian War. It was our freedom of …
False Prophets
In the past, when I’ve read the Bible, I’ve pretty much skimmed over the prophets. After all, who wants to be endlessly preached at and condemned? At least, that was my impression of the prophetic scriptures. But recently, I’ve been led to examine the prophets more closely. Maybe it’s because I’m on the downhill slope of …
A Call To Action
It is only on occasion that we use the words of others to any great extent. But, when someone of great reverence for God, with integrity, and great honor finds the phrasing to disseminate the exact meaning of what is going on in the world, we are compelled to present it. It is a call …
“Aha” Moments from Isaiah
On the surface, the book of Isaiah is not a feel good book. It’s not an essay about love and peace and good will toward men. It’s so much more!
Truth
The Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains taken to bring it to light. ~ George Washington
Khader Adnan Has Gone to His Eternal Reward
Khader Adnan was a long-time Palestinian Arab activist, and at one point a spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Arrested many times, Mr Adnan’s weapon of choice in detention was the hunger strike. His first hunger strike, ten days long, occurred in 2000, when he was locked up not by the Israelis, but the Palestinian …
The Soul of Our Nation
The 2020 notion was that we “are in a battle for the soul of the nation.” So let me ask a few questions:
Paying Attention to Prophecy
The prophets have always warned us about the consequences of our actions. Are we facing the end times? Is Armageddon upon us? Are we ready?
The Tragedy of the Commons: The Rational Actor
The Tragedy of the Commons: Rational Actor This is a follow on to Tragedy of the Commons: The Political Commons. It specifically looks at the rationality implied in Ostrom’s 8 points and the Rational Actor/Choice, Game, and Agency theories. What happens if the rational hypothesis fails or is different across cultures or relevant ranges? I …
It Was Never About Tolerance; It Was Always About Forced Acceptance!
We first mentioned Dylan Mulvaney a month ago, when, as Robert Stacy McCain put it, “satire is rapidly becoming impossible because reality has gotten so weird.” Since then, two well-paid executives accepting his ‘reality’ have managed to get themselves fired “leaves of absence“. Mr Mulvaney managed to keep his mouth shut for a while, as someone told …
Dr. Charles Stanley – The Greatest Teacher of His Time
On April 18, 2023, Charles Stanley passed from life here to life in heaven at the age of 90. Dr. Stanley was the greatest Christian teacher of his time.
The Words of My Mouth
Are our thoughts, words, and deeds acceptable in God’s eyes? Or do we speak one way in public and another way in private?
There’s No Statute of Limitations on Stupidity
Those who know me know that I am not just Catholic in name only, but a Mass every Sunday, and occasionally attend weekday Mass as well. I have article tags for the Catholic Church and Catholic Priesthood. And the last thing I want to see are more sexual abuse cases among the priesthood revealed. Philly …
God Has a Wonderful Plan for Your Life
God Has a Wonderful Plan for Your Life “Many are the plans of a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.” ~Proverbs 19:21 If you have ever been in church circles or hung out with people of faith long enough you have probably heard the phrase, “God has a wonderful plan for …
The Romans Road
The Romans Road “Rome was a poem pressed into service as a city.” ~Anatole Broyard The Romans were good at a lot of things. While touring Europe, I was able to see much of the work they left behind that sometimes looks in better condition than the roads in my hometown of Helena, Montana. But …
