Changes are coming. The size of government, particularly the portions of the government most removed from the citizenry, will begin to shrink. Persons will be displaced. Our trillions of dollars of government debt will begin to be considered. The rate of inflation will slow, though the damage to the economy from four years of career […]

Christianity in the West benefits from the push and pull of secular forces. The great benefit comes not when secular persons or institutions ask us how, but when they ask us why. How is often hard enough to answer without trying to play the omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent card, designed to intellectual discussion and certain to […]

Note: Now the 2024 US Presidential Election is behind us. We are left with the immortal words of our greatest President, Mr. Lincoln, who said this about elections: Elections belong to the people. It’d their decision. If they decide to turn their backs on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have […]

We often hear/read about Mr. Lincoln’s disregard for organized religion. I freely admit he did abhor the unlettered, unlearned calvinis, of his day. At one point in his life he produced a screed against religion so vile his supporters gathered up every copy, burned them all, forbade him to repeat a word of it and, […]

I long to return to my primary issue. I will do so as soon as Monday. At this point the 2024 US Presidential election is still upsetting many. I think I may have a solution. The (Far) Left should stop its hand wringing. The (Far) right should stop its chest pounding. Try holding hands instead […]

God bless the United States of America. America is the one indispensable among the nations of the world. Believe as you will. Vote as you want. All of us ought to see the American necessity. The first Christian obligation is to the Christ. A secondary obligation is civic and our responsibility is no less vital. […]

Note: Some user issues with WordPress have delayed me this week. I am truly sorry for all six of you who regularly read this site. I do want to tell you this; because you share this site with others, I have gotten to have some good talks about Jesus with some folks who are looking […]

In olden times (my youth) we often talked about the Word. That is, this product was the Last Word of Whatever, meaning there was no way to make a better product. Hence, the Last Word. Or, that product was the First Word in Whatever, meaning, well, the same thing as being the Last Word. The […]

There is so much to say about Jesus. The absence of Jesus from (Post-Christian, Modern to Millenial and Beyond) pulpits is a dramatic (some would say drastic) change in the subject matter of the Church. In a period of six months I attended a series of worship services for various reasons. I heard a great […]
