Two Men, Two Experiments, Same Answer

Two men, separated by centuries, ran essentially the same experiment. The voice of Ecclesiastes had wealth, power, pleasure, wisdom, and everything the ancient world called success.

Scripture condemns vengeance, but it repeatedly recognizes the duty to protect the innocent. The Christian warrior should be reluctant, restrained, prayerful, and prepared. The firearm isn’t the mission. Peace is the mission. And sometimes peace needs someone willing to stand at the door.

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

David Harris noted concerning a former principal that he went “From celebrating someone’s murder to possessing some of the most vile material imaginable.” We have recently been noting that when someone is, in the immortal words of Colonel Batguano in Dr Strangelove,” a “deviated prevert” in one thing, there is a high probability that he …
