From One Racist to Another
For 18 years the New York Yankees have been playing Kate Smith’s version of “God Bless America” during the seventh inning stretch. They have recently banned the song due to her singing some purported racially insensitive songs 80 years ago. The hockey team, Philadelphia Flyers, have done the same and even covered a statute of… Continue reading From One Racist to Another

Promises to Israel – Their Irrevocable Call
“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced.

The Sacrifice of Fools
"Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

Rediscovering God’s Word
America today is arguably a post-christian society with unrestricted abortion, homosexual marriage, rules requiring a person to address another person as whatever gender they deem themselves regardless of their biology and traditional christian values of all kinds under attack. Even in many churches there is more concern about illegal aliens or other perceived "social injustices" than… Continue reading Rediscovering God’s Word
Hero of the Heartland
Hero of the Heartland by Robert Martin is a biography of evangelist Billy Sunday. Sunday was a fundamentalist evangelist whose sermons concentrated on personal salvation and individual morality. He was the most influential revivalist in the United States between 1896 and 1935. He had a theatrical aspect to his sermons. Those who attended his sermons expected to be entertained… Continue reading Hero of the Heartland
Only God is Good
"And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 'Why do you call me good?' Jesus answered. 'No one is good--except God alone.' " So many times over my life I have heard about the exceptionalism of the American people and its government. This was usually equated… Continue reading Only God is Good

The Nazis Among Us
Many people since World War II have questioned how Hitler could have carried out the holocaust. How could the nation that produced Luther and had a long christian history have so willingly aided Hitler, including the professing church in most cases. The answer is the fallen nature of man and the inherent wickedness that resides… Continue reading The Nazis Among Us
Hind’s Feet

Stan and Ollie
I recently went to see the movie, Stan and Ollie. It was about the last years of the legendary comedy team, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. They were one of the top box office draws from the 1920's to mid 1940's after which their popularity went into decline. The film focuses on a last-gasp music… Continue reading Stan and Ollie
Sodomite Revenge
The wicked shaming of Karen Pence for teaching art part-time at a Christian school that adheres to biblically rooted views of marriage arises directly from the Supreme Court's equally wicked decision to legalize same-sex marriage in Obergefell vs. Hodges. As pointed out in William McGurn's recent Wall Street Journal article, when Obergefell was decided it… Continue reading Sodomite Revenge
Little Girl Blue
I have long been a fan of Karen Carpenter's singing. She has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard and I loved many of her songs.

Away in a Manger
Each year we see the familiar nativity scene during the Christmas season. It is a reminder of the "reason for the season" which is the birth of our Savior.

Hate Speech
During an Anti-Defamation League event on Monday, Apple CEO Tim Cook advocated for censorship of "those who push hate [and] division" across his company's digital platforms. He advocated censoring viewpoints that, in his opinion, are pushing "hate, division, and violence." The problem with this censorship policy is the question of who is going to determine… Continue reading Hate Speech
