Battle for Our Nation at the Polls

Another election year is upon us. With so many big issues in play, there is a lot at stake. And much of the battle will be fought in the primaries. For the most part, the die will be cast at that time. But many Christians too often choose to sit on the sidelines. Some are not even registered to vote. What kind of a world are they leaving for their children, grandchildren, and neighbors? I remember seeing a bumper sticker on a car with Christian bumper stickers that said something like, “Why vote? It’s all rigged anyway.” Something to that […]

Is Cruz Like Goldwater or Reagan?

Ted Cruz is beginning to surge significantly in the polls in Iowa. Surely the evangelicals in Iowa are the key factor. Already, some of the political pundits are writing him off, likening him to Barry Goldwater, the libertarian-leaning firebrand, who was soundly defeated by Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Goldwater lost by a landslide. But, by the same token, Ronald Reagan won by landslides in 1980 and in 1984. And Reagan was perhaps more conservative than Goldwater. The question many are asking about Ted Cruz and his conservative values is: Will he be the new Goldwater or the new Reagan? Reagan […]

Challenging California’s New Abortion Law

I remember many years ago there was a bumper sticker that asked, “What do you choose when you’re pro-choice?” In reality, most “pro-choice” advocates often push one choice to be available and exercised — the choice to terminate a baby’s life via abortion. And now if the liberal legislature and governor in California have their way, the promotion of the choose-abortion message will be spread even further. Last month, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a requirement that pro-life crisis pregnancy centers must advertise in writing — in large print — where women can get an abortion for free or […]

The Christian and Civil Disobedience

  Recent events have called into question the issue of obeying the government in all ways — even in all circumstances. In the 13th chapter of Romans, Paul says that God has given us the government as a minister of righteousness. It is our duty to obey it. But we also see in Scripture that on occasion, when the government calls for one to disobey God, then civil disobedience is in order.   A historical example There’s a great lesson to learn from one aspect of World War II related to distortions of Romans 13. I’m not calling anybody a […]

The Hundredth Anniversary of a Tragedy

  A hundred years ago around this time a terrible massacre was taking place against Christians. It was the Armenian massacre where literally hundreds of thousands of Christians were slaughtered just for being Christian by Muslims in what is now Turkey. It is eerily similar to the crisis of today where ISIS and Boko Haram and other radical Islamic groups are killing Christians just for being Christian. Masterminds of ISIS are scheming of new sadistic ways to kill their enemies, to videotape it and post it on the Internet. The 20th century was the most anti-Christian century on record. It […]

When Chaplains Can’t Discuss the Bible

America is kept safe by the military, which has had a spiritual shield held over it from before we were even a country — by the chaplains. But today chaplains are under enormous pressure to fully embrace political correctness. Chaplains under fire Meet Lt. Commander Wes Modder, a chaplain in the U.S. Navy. About fifteen years ago, the Navy thought so highly of him that they used him in a video to recruit potential chaplains. He has ministered to sailors, Marines and Navy Seals. Today, Chaplain Modder is fighting for his military career because he refused to bow the knee […]

Celebrate Our God-Given Rights on Independence Day

Here’s a trivia question for you. The Statue of Liberty holds a torch in one hand. What is she holding in the other? It looks like a book, in tablet form. The answer is the Declaration of Independence, since the tablet is engraved with July 4, 1776 in Roman numerals. The great British writer, G.K. Chesterton, once said, “America is the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed. That creed is set forth with dogmatic and even theological lucidity in the Declaration of Independence.” Two hundred thirty nine years ago, 56 men,  representing some three million […]

What Good Is the Right of Free Speech If You Can’t Exercise It?

By now, gallons of ink have been spilled on the recent meeting (over the May 2-3 weekend) in the Dallas area where the contest was held on who could draw the best picture of Mohammed. Anti-jihadist blogger Pamela Geller of New York organized the contest. Two American jihadists drove hundreds of miles to kill the “infidels” and were killed in the process. Franklin Graham remarked that the recent Garland conclave was misguided. As a Christian, he says we shouldn’t insult anybody’s religion. Like me, he believes the ultimate answer to the radical Islam issue is the gospel of Jesus Christ, […]

It All Began in Indiana Anyway

Recently, we have seen many lies told in and about Indiana. First, there was a noble attempt to ensure that religious freedom continue there, using the same template for a law passed in many other states and even signed at the federal level by Bill Clinton. As a result of the falsely driven outrage and bullying tactics, Indiana has ended up with a worse law than if there had never been any attempt of change in the first place. The big lie was that the law, which was originally intended to protect people from having to violate their consciences, was […]

Four Reasons Why the Supreme Court Should Not Redefine Marriage

The Supreme Court is slated to rule on the subject of same-sex “marriage” this term. Here are four questions I want to ask same-sex marriage supporters:   If the Supreme Court says that it is okay for a man to marry a man and a woman to marry a woman, then how can they stop there? Once they open Pandora’s Box, how can they say that polygamy is unconstitutional? The Supreme Court already ruled on that. Utah, a state founded by Mormons, could not be accepted in the Union until there was the promise that they would not practice polygamy, […]
