Several of my Facebook friends seem quite anxious lately. I’m trying to remember if I had the same anxiety over the last four years when I felt our country’s political moorings had come untethered. I don’t think I held the same level of anxiety as those who are furiously posting and reposting against the current…
Though I was not completely surprised, I was still slightly bewildered as almost the entire Democrat wing of representatives refused to rejoice in the beautiful gifts and accolades given to several individuals and families during President Trump’s address to Congress on March 4, 2025. The entire side of the room seemed petty, sulky, and inhumane…
Too many parents (finger pointed at myself) get in a rut with the word “No.” We want to stop our children from breaking the Law. I mean, read the Ten Commandments—how many of them start with “You shall not”? Obviously, we MUST teach them “No,” and we should start when they are very young. However,…
Jesus confronted the Pharisees: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others” (Matt. 23.23). The other aspects of the law are not necessarily less…
With the recent appointment examination of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, the main theme of his examination (besides being pummeled for past sexual and alcoholic sins) regarded his views of women in the military. Incensed lawmakers pushed Hegseth to promise he would not remove women from the military, but Hegseth eloquently navigated their (less-than-clever)…
Have you ever… …called someone an “idiot” (or worse) for cutting in front of you in traffic? …thought (in your head) that your spouse was ignorant, weak, or insane because they refused to see a matter your way? …clucked your tongue at a frazzled mom who couldn’t control her kids in the department store? …grimaced…
Among David’s three chief mighty men stood Shammah, the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines gathered together at Lehi, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils, and the Israelites fled from the Philistines. But Shammah took his stand in the midst of the plot and defended it and struck down the…
Greeks and Romans and many other nations had male and female gods, but Israel had only one God who called Himself by masculine pronouns. In an age where everyone is so concerned about using proper pronouns, how about not misgendering the God of the Bible, eh? When Christ entered the world around 2,000 years ago,…
I used to teach homeschool classes in which the parents sat with their students. I taught English and Writing. Sometimes a student would ask, “Why do we have to know this?” And often, a sage parent would answer, “Because you’ll use it in college.” I hated that answer. Was that our end goal of learning—to…
The memory of the righteous is a blessing,but the name of the wicked will rot. (Prov. 10.7) President Biden likes to say, “History will judge…” Indeed, historians judge from all kinds of angles, but God is the real judge. No matter how we attempt to rewrite and organize the facts, God knows the truth, and…
