Critics of capitalism or markets are not too difficult to find. They come mainly from the ideological Left, but some also come from what appears to be a non-Leftist position of postmodernism. I actually believe most postmoderns lean Left, some violently, but for now I will let that go. Finally I have found a fairly […]

The Berean Foundations
16 Apr 2015
This blog may seem redundant, since I have published similar pieces before. But from time to time I believe our readers need to see articulated the foundations for our positions. I believe I represent the basic philosophical and theological position of my Berean colleagues, though they would most certainly be more concise. In the past […]

A Different/Similar Take on the Indiana Law
01 Apr 2015
This blog serves as somewhat of a response to Mark Smith’s blog. It is different however in that it deals primarily with legal and broader theological issues. By now most know something about the stir in Indiana—I can feel the reverberations from across the border—concerning the recently passed state law protecting those with religious […]

Did He Really Say That?
11 Feb 2015
Have we come to this point in our culture or is this just an “outlier”? Yesterday, Representative Elijah Cummings (D-Md) made the following statement in a speech to Federal union members: “People do not seem to understand that so many people come to government knowing that they are not going to make the kind of […]

The President’s History Lecture
06 Feb 2015
On January 5, President Obama, in a speech at the annual National Prayer Breakfast, equated the current jihadist threat with “terrible deeds committed in the name of Christ.” Read the entire speech to get the full context. But if you do, you will find President Obama bending over backward to find some moral equivalency between […]

Hat tip to Foundation for Economic Education: Combatting false narratives on the Progressive Jesus
30 Jan 2015
Its rare when secular websites wade into the faith and economics waters, but the President of the Foundation for Economic Education, Larry Reed, does a fine job here. As Reed argues, The fact is, one can scour the Scriptures with a fine-tooth comb and find nary a word from Christ that endorses the forcible redistribution […]

The National Labor Relation Board recently made a judicial ruling (yes, it is an administrative agency, but agencies do act like courts frequently) concerning the rights of faculty at private colleges and universities to unionize. The actual decision is somewhat complicated and I have not yet read it in full, but the upshot of it […]

Christian Higher Education: Is It Possible?
18 Jan 2015
Once again I was reminded of how important it is to be vigilant in Christian colleges and universities to try to ensure they remain true to their mission as ultimately expressed in the Word of God. I was privileged to be a part of the American Enterprise’s Values and Capitalism group retreat in San Diego […]

Are Terrorists Islamic?
07 Jan 2015
I just finished reading part of a transcript from an interview on MSNBC this morning of Howard Dean, former governor of Vermont, and reliable liberal. The topic was the massacre of twelve employees of a Paris magazine that had spoofed the prophet Muhammed with a cartoon picture with caption. All I can say is, “Wow!” […]

“The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil”
18 Dec 2014
D.A. Carson has a gem over on the Gospel Coalition, which is well worth a read. RATHER NAIVELY, SOME OF US THINK that if Jesus were alive today, our tolerant culture would not give him a really rough time, much less crucify him. We would simply marginalize him, treat him as if he were a […]
