The House of Representatives debate on the healthcare bill made for some great theater last night. There were high points (see Mike Pence’s moving speech) and low points, and in general it was fascinating to watch this great engine of state in operation. We […]

Another Muslim atrocity
Yet another Muslim atrocity has been committed, this time within our own military. There is so much to say here that I don’t know where to start. Let’s start with the obvious. As he broke into calm, focused, calculated violence, the perpetrator at Fort […]
Abortion in the healthcare bill, documented
The ACLJ has come up with the abortion provisions in the House healthcare bill, H3962. You will find it here. Joe Wilson was right about Obama’s bald-faced lie to the joint session of Congress and to the American people. Recall that Obama had wrapped […]
A solemn, dire warning, from Naval Commander Jerry Wilson
Before I print Jerry Wilson’s letter I need to affirm some foundational points. This is first and always a Christian blog, yet I feel the need to delve into cultural and societal issues because they affect us so deeply. I also believe that we […]

Time to start a ‘One Nation Under God’ movement
From Florida comes an outrageous story of a young man who was fired from Home Depot for wearing a “One Nation Under God” button on his orange apron. He had worn the button for a year, got no complaints, even had one supervisor admire […]
Even MORE free software modules
It was bound to happen. A free Bible program as good as The Word is going to draw a lot of dedicated talent willing to transcribe resources to go into it. And quality content creators are going to give permission for their work to […]
review: Destined for the throne, by Paul Billheimer
At 134 pages, Destined for the Throne is not a big book, yet it took me nine months to read it. What it lacks in length it more than makes up for in depth and power. I came across Destined while review-hopping at Amazon. […]
More on Bible software
First – Yes, this is still the same Following Christ blog. I thought it was time for a theme change. When things aren’t changing I begin to get confused! I’ve been spending time getting acquainted with and adding modules to The Word, which I […]
“The Word” Bible software
I’d like to make everyone aware of new free Bible software. The Word is totally free, uses few computer resources, so that even older computers should be able to run it, and is a delight in terms of functionality, design and aesthetics. I’ve been […]
I’ve Updated ‘Hebrews 6: restoration of a fallen Christian’
I reworked my post from last April, concerning how the difficult passage in Hebrews 6 is really about restoring, rather than condemning, fallen Christians, and I think it now speaks more directly and powerfully to the issue. This is one of the hardest passages […]
America’s descent into Marxism
It’s amazing when more truth can be found in the editorial pages of Pravda than in those of the New York Times, but that’s exactly the state in which we find ourselves. The Pravda edit speaks of the systematic take-down of the American system […]
Should Joe Wilson have apologized?
You’re probably aware that during Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress last week, Representative Joe Wilson called out at one point, “You lie!” Obama had been claiming that the proposed healthcare reform bill did not cover illegal aliens, did not pay for […]
Numbering the people
What was David’s great sin in numbering the nation of Israel, and why is it important to us now? If there’s anyone out there who in looking at the church has despaired of its condition (see the David Ryser piece, The Question That Changed […]
