How do you take a significant segment of the church in the United States, called to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ – Lord of heaven and of earth, the Alpha and the Omega, the eternal Word, son of God, son of Man, son of David, the lamb of God slain from the foundation of […]

During the Bill Clinton imbroglio, Gloria Steinem famously defended the sitting president, who had engaged in a sexual relationship with an intern, by claiming it was understandable for men to behave certain ways as long as they were aware that “no means no.” Her tawdry defense of Clinton came to be known as the “one […]

One thing about modern man, he (and she) want to be modern and pursuing the latest and greatest fashion. This is, of course, nothing very modern at all. Luke recorded the same phenomenon almost 2000 years ago, in his discussion of the Apostle Paul at Mars Hill, where he editorialized: (Now all the Athenians and […]

Roy Moore & Sanctifying Ends & Means
15 Nov 2017
Roy Moore (R-AL) is still gripping his GOP senatorial nomination tightly. An additional accuser has come forward and we’ve now learned Moore’s reputation for cruising for teenaged girls earned him a ban from a mall in Gadsden. Fifty Alabama pastors signed* a letter, posted on Kayla Moore’s (Roy’s wife) Facebook page, expressing their support for […]

Compassion in Houston: Altruism or Selfishness?
04 Sep 2017
On a Fox News group show this morning (Saturday, Sept 2 on “Bulls and Bears”) I heard one person say that businesses in Houston had opened their buildings for individuals and even were giving merchandise away to those in need.

At any rate, I would like to explore the Christian in relation to his or her potential or real involvement in the political or cultural realms physically outside the church and apart from […]

However the article actually poses a […]

Weeping for Charlottesville
14 Aug 2017
One of the practical applications of the Christian walk is found in Romans 12:15, “Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.” Today there is a family weeping for the loss of their daughter, a victim of the manifestation of one person’s hatred toward others. It is, of course, easy to simply […]

I happened to catch a couple of minutes of the Rush Limbaugh program, in which he was playing some snippets from an interview of Kurt Anderson and Charlie Rose on PBS, on the subject of Anderson’s new book, Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire. The theme of the books seems to center on how conservative talk […]

Churches and Zoning: An Interesting Clash
28 Jul 2017
I read an interesting article that brought together my concerns both about zoning and land use and religious freedom issues. It seems the City of Palo Alto, California, quite a nice place to live it is said, and the home of the elite Stanford University, is “cracking down on churches” that allegedly violate its zoning […]
