Be still my heart. A public school district has decided to post the Ten Commandments back up on the walls of all its schools: A southwest Virginia school district has reposted copies of the Bible’s Ten Commandments in all county schools, despite concerns that […]

“Parent One”, “Parent Two”
There is plenty to be disturbed about in our nation, even on a daily basis, but this latest story struck me as a milestone to be noted. Yesterday, the State Department announced that it was “improving” passport applications to ask for information about “Parent […]
Taking back America
This has already gone viral, and for good reason. Christie has done an amazing job facing down deeply entrenched special interests that are destroying our nation from within. I am glad that some people have the specific calling to the governmental realm, and are […]
Meekness is not weakness
Jesus' life was one of continually confronting the status quo that suppressed knowledge of God. He never ran from it, and He never compromised truth in order to keep the peace or be popular. And when the occasion was right, He didn’t shrink back from engaging in a verbal brawl (the “seven woes” on the Pharisees in Mt 23) or even using actual physical force (the cleansing of the temple).
Keeping conscience in the outer court
I love the dualism of the phrase, "having the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience". It graphically shows that being Christlike allows us to be both spirit-led and rational. With feet firmly planted on the ground, our spirits still can reside in the very throne room of heaven. The mature Christian is a mighty warrior for God, indeed!
Brit Hume’s Christianity comment -updated
1/9: politics daily, CT interview links added You may have heard of the flap regarding Brit Hume advising Tiger Woods to embrace “the Christian faith”. Here’s an update on the initial story. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_dCB-XUwoc&feature=player_embedded] Was Brit proselytizing? v.intr. 1. To induce someone to convert to […]
Two good laughs
I’m in a zany mood, maybe as an aftereffect of that last post, but I just came across two items that made me crack up. First, the inimitable Ramirez from IBD: Then, a slightly offbeat but hilarious exposition of the Gospel by Ann Coulter. […]
Notes on the war
Just a quick note on three outstanding pieces, two re the war on terror and one on the state of conservatism. First, Krauthammer, again, this time holding forth on the administration’s very poor conduct of the war on terror. War, what war? Whatever one […]
Still think you won’t be paying for abortions?
From Newsrealblog comes this damning video of the Sec. of HHS Sebelius describing an accounting sleight of hand that will indeed cause every taxpayer to pay for abortion. It’s bad enough for a nation to tolerate abortion. Elective abortion blatantly crosses the line of […]
This day we fight!
Yesterday I cited the admonition of Jesus, “To whom much is given, much will be required”. But God judges nations as well as people. And as He does with people, God judges nations subjectively, based on what each one could do, on what each […]
America used to be a beacon
Jesus said that "unless a grain of wheat fall to the earth and die, it cannot bear much fruit." The world will never forget Neda, and the Iranian people will never rest until they are free of political and religious tyranny. Through her sacrifice, Neda has already begun to bear incalculable good fruit.
Terrorism, heroes and cowards
But while the American people constantly prove themselves heroes, there are cowards among our ruling elite. These leaders are either more concerned with career than with protecting the nation, or are afraid of the cost of telling the truth, or are too dumb to know the truth.
Christmas
Many centuries ago, Christians got tired of the dominant culture celebrating pagan feasts which seduced their weaker members and corrupted their young. So the Roman Winter Solstice feast, an extended drunken and immoral extravaganza (sort of like the prototypical office Christmas party, only a […]
Questions for Every Muslim
I’m posting this because I’m under increased conviction that we need to confront this present darkness. The West has gone silently to the stew pot, when we should have proclaimed the truth. A conspiracy of political correctness has hamstrung us, and we’ve got to […]
