"There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people who haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior that they’re going to hell. (Interviewer: You don’t believe that?). "I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell. I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little… Continue reading Humanistic Reasoning Illustrated
Inside The Third Reich
When I was in the seventh grade, around 1972, my English teacher handed out a book club flyer to encourage us to do some extra reading outside the normal reading assignments. I was already an enthusiastic reader of books, mainly on history subjects, but rarely found any subject matter I liked in these book flyers.… Continue reading Inside The Third Reich
Satan’s Teat
1 Peter 2:2-3 “Like newborn babies, thirst for the pure milk of the word so that by it you may grow in your salvation. Surely you have tasted that the Lord is good!” Scripture encourages us to study God's Word in order to grow in the Lord. Learning and applying God's Word to our lives,… Continue reading Satan’s Teat
Hope For The Downcast
There seemed no end to the oppression that plagued my thoughts. Thick dark clouds of sadness moved endlessly above me. The Lord's presence was nowhere to be found. Curses and bad memories, arguments presenting themselves one after another supported a conclusion that I was unloved. Is anything more necessary than our need for love? I… Continue reading Hope For The Downcast
Sovereign Over Nations
Speculators and movie makers love to talk about the Apocalypse - the end of the world. However, less is said about the end of America, which is the leader of the free world and western civilization. There have been great civilizations down through history, such as the Roman empire, but there never has been a… Continue reading Sovereign Over Nations

A Torch Kept Lit
This is an excellent book I recently read of eulogies written by the late William F. Buckley. Buckley was the founder of "National Review", a conservative journal and host of "Firing Line" from 1966-1999 on PBS. He also wrote many best-selling books and a syndicated column for many years and was known for his eloquent… Continue reading A Torch Kept Lit
Man as God
The earth is like a spinning top tilted on its axis. The spin gives us day and night, while the tilt provides the seasons. It's a good thing our scientist are keeping the earth spinning at just the right speed for us, because if it slowed or stopped we would either bake in the heat… Continue reading Man as God
What God Does Through Men
The Scripture says that Yeshua was fully man. "For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people." (Heb. 2: 17). Before… Continue reading What God Does Through Men
Fluff vs Substance
I was reading a book about writing in which the author described with her most descriptive language the passion and motivation she has for writing. In her first chapter she said, write a draft without expecting perfection. In the next she advised to write about what you know, feel, and see around you. In the… Continue reading Fluff vs Substance
Observations on Evolution
"By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.” Hebrews 11:3. In the essay "Is Theology Poetry" C. S. Lewis discusses his view of the universal evolution theory - "By universal evolutionism I mean the belief… Continue reading Observations on Evolution
Eliminate the Research Tax Credit
The latest tax reform lowered the corporate tax rates and at the same time eliminated many corporate business tax credits. This is an excellent idea, in general, as it would give corporations additional money to invest in their companies as they see fit rather than be incentivized to invest the money as the government would… Continue reading Eliminate the Research Tax Credit
Take Down All Racists Symbols on Public Grounds
If our country is going to take down all Confederate symbols from public grounds due to its past association with slavery and racism we should not stop there but take down all racist symbols on public grounds. This would include the American flag, the Washington Monument, as well as the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. George Washington… Continue reading Take Down All Racists Symbols on Public Grounds
Federal Tax Apportionment
The new tax bill limits deductions on high state taxes. Criticism of this provision was that it was unfair, particularly given these high tax states contributed more to the Federal government measured by taxes paid in. However, is this a just measure of fairness? The answer gets complex and that is when reason is discarded. Clearly,… Continue reading Federal Tax Apportionment
Israel’s Interest
The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, of Israel and the Hope of the nations has called all men to Himself. It is not necessary to try to be something you are not, you only need to call on His name, Yeshua, and fear Him as the one and only Son of the true God… Continue reading Israel’s Interest
The Nashville Statement
Recently certain Evangelical Leaders from the "Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood" released a statement on sexuality. Called the "Nashville Statement" it affirmed the biblical teaching on marriage and sexual immorality. It included the following positions: 1. God has designed marriage to be a convenantal, sexual, procreative, lifelong union of one man and one… Continue reading The Nashville Statement
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
I have been to this city. I stayed in the old city, in a hostel that is four hundred years old. For Americans it is hard to grasp such longevity, but this is considered new construction in the old city. It is a marvelous place, the home of two great religions; a place of significance to… Continue reading Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Righteous Order of the Genders
I see men and women in right relationship, celibate singles, submitted couples loving in marriage. Great men with supportive women at their sides who are champions of family, of church, and led by Holy Spirit; Yeshua lifted up, glorified in every sphere, in every family, in every gathering for and to His glory and praise. The… Continue reading Righteous Order of the Genders
No One Likes A Bully
I have seen several public service announcements on bullying. How bad it is and that it should not be tolerated in our schools and neighborhoods. Many of us have been tormented by Bullies. Historically, Gay men have been a favorite target of bullies. However, there is one place where bullies are encouraged, rewarded, and acclaimed… Continue reading No One Likes A Bully
Tearing things Down
The new Liberal Socialist Fascist protesters are seeking to tear down statues and monuments from the past. They believe they are doing good and that they are right to do this, to protest what they find offensive. Those who raised the statues where honoring men and women, for their courage or ideas or whatever was honorable… Continue reading Tearing things Down
Replacement Theology
"A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person's praise is not from other people, but from God."… Continue reading Replacement Theology
American Indians
Historically, American Indians (Native Americans) have been held in high honor among the majority of American society. Beginning with the first settlers to the "New World", Indians are depicted as honorable Peoples. The distinctively American holiday, Thanksgiving, includes the story of the Indians sharing food with the Pilgrims. The early westward explorers and settlers encountered… Continue reading American Indians
Liberal Women on Women
I read an article about how confused women are today regarding when to marry versus exploiting their single youth. This article contains a hidden premise that women decide their own destiny and "find a man" and succumb to, "the desire hardwired into all straight men to turn their girlfriends into 1950s housewives." The article described a… Continue reading Liberal Women on Women
Sodom and Gomorrah Revisited
There have recently been many revelations, one after another, of sexual harassment claims, with many being acknowledged by the perpetrator. The fact that these acts have been brought to light is a very positive development as it has encourage more and more abuses to be brought to light to hopefully prevent others happening in the future.… Continue reading Sodom and Gomorrah Revisited
Distinguishing the Law
Everyone is different in many ways physically, genetically, and environmentally. Nevertheless, law applies to everyone equally and the statue representing justice is blindfolded to illustrate this principle. There is to be no favoritism with respect to the law. However, there has been a consistent erosion of this foundation of liberty, freedom, and justice. Today, arguments… Continue reading Distinguishing the Law
