Romans 13 and God’s Sense of Humor
29 Aug 2016
For the past several weeks, I have been leading an adult Sunday school series at Calvary Baptist Church in Bellefontaine, Ohio. The topic–politics from a biblical perspective. Such discussions are always a bit touchy since my presentation does not always conform to expected patterns. I spent one lesson exploring our obligations to government as believers. […]

Campaign News: Still Depressing
23 Aug 2016
Hillary Clinton’s unique unfitness for the presidency continues to be readily apparent. The Washington Post ran two items that highlight Mrs. Clinton’s ethical problems. Though bad for Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Trump did not skate through the week. First, Helderman, Hsu, and Hamburger co-authored an article on the relationship between Clinton Foundation donations and access to […]

Grudem and the Costs of Trump Support (Part 3)
05 Aug 2016
Wayne Grudem, the theological guru, has created a firestorm by publishing an argument in favor of voting for Donald Trump. While I respect Grudem, I have three major problems with this advocacy. First, Dr. Grudem minimizes Trump’s weaknesses, which causes him to put too much faith in what Donald Trump might accomplish (Part 1). Second, […]

Missives from the Morass: DNC Style
29 Jul 2016
The City of Brotherly Shove hosted the Democratic National Convention. Wisely, I did not attend. The DNC was, like its GOP counterpart, a historic affair. At the end of it all, a major party nominated a person uniquely unfit for the presidency. Granted, Hillary Rodham Clinton is a woman, but as she would surely prefer, […]

As we are reminded in Hamilton; An American Musical, after they won the Battle of Yorktown to finish the War for Independence, American soldiers sang, while the redcoats were forced to listen to, a common drinking song of the day, The World Turned Upside Down. It was especially significant because it underscored the existence of […]

Missives from the Morass: July 21
21 Jul 2016
Well, I thought it might be historic. It is, and the party nominee has not even taken the floor yet. Ted Cruz finished second in the G.O.P. nomination campaign and was booed off the floor of the convention last night. John Kasich, the host Governor and also a presidential candidate, has not darkened the door […]
