In recent months I’ve seen more and more instances in the news where the founders of this country are increasingly portrayed as villains. The statements they made and the revolution they brought about would, in today’s anti-western worldview, get them arrested, villified, and possibly murdered by the very country they founded. But the same thing… Continue reading»
Back a few years ago I made up a chart to try and illustrate all the events of Jesus’ last week as a mortal, combining data from all the Gospels. But recently I took another look at it with details I hadn’t known before, especially the fact that the Greek does not say “first day… Continue reading»
This post is an examination and analysis of an article found Here, which raises once again the issue of why the world is so messed up, why we needed a Savior, and whether part of that ruination involves God putting half the human race over the other.

"Western culture has undergone a dramatic shift in its view… Continue reading»

It’s a good one to remember when it comes to things we take for granted, sometimes for our entire lives, until someone else brings it up. And there isn’t anything about… Continue reading»

I saw a link today to this article and just had to comment. Here’s an excerpt: Without Nathan, one is left to wonder if David would have ever repented and asked God for the restoration of the joy of his salvation.

I was reading today some comments about Tiger Woods’ recent “apology” and just had to share one. Please note that while the language used is not technically vulgar, the topic requires terminology that some might find offensive or impolite. Women get all wound around the axle of male infidelity, but that’s because they see it… Continue reading»
