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…

Jesus, Help Us to Love Wisely
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…
Sins Worthy of Death Part 3
Most of us easily agree with Scripture that murderers are worthy of death. They took another person’s life; they brought death upon themselves. In societies like our “advanced” one, it is, perhaps, more difficult to agree with Scripture that those who commit sexual immorality are worthy of death. Today, we will see a few other…
Sins Worthy of Death Part 2: Sexual Sins
Previously, we looked at God’s penalty for murder, the shedding of innocent blood, and we saw that God demands the death penalty in such cases. In addition, God holds the town or city or government responsible for not putting to death men convicted of murder (by at least two witnesses). God is not suggesting this;…
Sins Worthy of Death Part 1: Murder
I have said it myself, and I’ve heard many say, “All sin is worthy of death.” In the cosmic sense, this is true, as the root of all sin is our selfishness and pride and desire to control our own lives like our first parents. However, in the social sense of justice which God outlines…
The Morality of Our Election Choices
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…
The Ten Commandments in Louisiana Public Schools
Many are in a tizzy over Governor Jeff Landry’s signing of a new law mandating a poster-size copy of the Ten Commandments hang in every taxpayer-supported classroom. Opponents are melting down around the country, promising legal pushback. From an AP News article: “We’re worried about public school families and students in Louisiana… They come from…
“People Are Fundamentally Good” – Pope Francis
In a rare American interview with 60 Minutes’ Norah O’Donnell on CBS, Pope Francis said many controversial things. At about the 38:44 mark of the video, after being asked by O’Donnell about what gives him hope as he looks at this world, he answered, “People are fundamentally good. We are all fundamentally good. Yes, there…
Who Makes the Rules around Here?
They say we must keep the Christian God out of the public schools because it’s not fair to families of other faiths to teach just one God. After all, Christians would hate for Allah to be taught in school, right? They tell us to keep all gods out of the public school system and we…
What Part of “All Authority” Have We Not Understood?
Sometimes we seem to have a split personality as Christians, and we often do not think critically or logically about our faith. What do we really believe about our Lord Jesus Christ? When He says, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth,” how do we understand that? Do we think…
