Mary Ann and I are cleaning out our attic. Boxes and boxes of old children’s toys, various and sundry other stuff arranged in no particular order are being sorted and donated to Goodwill or moved to the ever expanding trash pile. This Saturday morning, we were reminiscing over a set of dishes neatly packed away […]

I heard this yesterday on Al Mohler’s The Briefing, and found it today in the young lady’s own words over on The Gospel Coalition.  This is a profile not only in courage to confront evil, but a boldness to speak of the beauty of the gospel to her abuser.  This is a must watch, as […]

Aahh the perils of a populist president.  But at least I can try to think of more words that start off with TR.* So yesterday Mr. Trump declared war on most of America and a few foreigners to support a few jobs in the solar cell and washing machine industries.  Let’s just review the standard […]

I appreciated my Berans colleague Bert Wheeler’s post on immigration.  But I would like to offer an alternative viewpoint that does not totally disagree with his.  I understand that Dr. Wheeler is not suggesting a “no borders” policy.  Nor does he deny the necessity to screen criminals or potential terrorists.  He also does agree with […]

The Bereans are back. Today, they discussed Donald Trump’s latest use of indelicate language.

He spoke at length with Terry Goodin, the only Democrat to represent a rural state legislative district in Indiana. Goodin is pro-life, an A+ legislator according to the National Rifle Association, and voted for an amendment to eliminate same-sex marriage […]

***This Review is full of Spoilers. If you want a pristine experience, you should come back after you’ve seen Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Consider yourself warned.*** Perhaps I am old. Maybe I have moved finally and fully out of the hulking middle at which Hollywood takes aim. It is also possible I am just […]

The Bereans return with another episode of their video blog. Today’s topics include: Fallout from the Moore/Jones Senate contest in Alabama Net Neutrality–the Bereans Come to Blows!
