Our public school system has systematically and consistently crumbled since 1980 when the Department of Education was formed in the United States under the Jimmy Carter administration. I remember when George W. Bush pushed his “No Child Left Behind” mantra, which sounded nice but had no teeth. According to World Population Review: Ironically, despite the United…

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…
Why Are Christians So Hated?
It should be well known that Christians are the most peaceful of all people. We do not wield literal swords and guns to fight for our spiritual cause. Many Christians over the years have submitted meekly and humbly to sometimes horrific deaths because they refused to renounce the name of Jesus. They followed Jesus. As…
Were Christians’ Feelings Hurt by the 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony?
By now most have heard how some Parisian artist created a monstrous blasphemy to usher in the 2024 Olympics last month—a version of the Last Supper with an obese lesbian woman in place of the Lord and drag queens feasting instead of the apostles. Many have scoffed at the silly Christians getting offended over nothing…
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…
Jesus Did Not Preach Diversity
Often, we believe lies because they have truth intermixed. Also, when culture continually drowns us in their worldview, we tend to slowly start to accept it—especially when it becomes dangerous to take an opposing position. “Diversity is our strength” has become the motto of our day, and Americans believe it because this country has been,…
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…
New Methodist Manual on Inclusive Language: Cultural Christianity?
I recently wrote an article about DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), focusing on our modern-day workplaces, but this seductive and destructive philosophy is gaining footholds among some modern-day churches who seek to identify with this world’s culture. They seem to think God commanded them to ride the cultural waves, but they are reading from a…
How Does Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Help?
I’ve written before about DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). If you work for a company of any size these days, they probably have a DEI team, or at least a guy or gal who pushes DEI initiatives in your company. They will have a written DEI plan (usually easily accessible on their website) with a…
