Why Tolerate This?

I am not a scrooge by any means. I love the holiday season: Christmas displays, lights, decorations, presents, pageants, parades, and all the rest, but this year I have an issue with my hometown “Tis the Season” parade. It appears, in pursuit of their ever-so-precious progressive values, parade organizers allowed this family event to beContinue reading “Why Tolerate This?”

Good vs. Evil Redux

I wrote in my prior post: good has already won the spiritual battle (which-team-do-you-choose); however, good and evil still compete for our allegiance in this world; there is a continual battle for our souls. Nations make choices as well: promote godly values or the material world’s values and its immediate rewards.   Political parties tooContinue reading “Good vs. Evil Redux”

Which Team do You Choose?

Evil has already been defeated; good has already won. God’s side cannot possibly lose, but still evil attracts many to its side. If everyone were given the opportunity to choose sides–good or evil–like is done in a schoolyard or neighborhood pickup game–and if before choosing we already knew which team was certain to win–some wouldContinue reading “Which Team do You Choose?”

Christian and American

“Christian Nationalist” has become a pejorative term. Many Christians are patriotic and believe American values overlap with Christian values. Combine these two terms and liberals claim we have recreated Frankenstein’s monster. Preface “Christian Nationalist” with “White” and many become doubly alarmed. There should be no stigma attached to either term; however, a liberal ideology hasContinue reading “Christian and American”

Did God Really Say?

When God created human beings, he made them in the likeness of God; he created them male and female. When they were created, he blessed them and named them humankind. (Genesis 5:1-2) There are clear differences between men and women: in strength, preferences, mannerisms, tendencies, how we process information, etc. We instinctively seek mothers inContinue reading “Did God Really Say?”

Demonic Marxism Rises. Who will Oppose it?

In my last post, I focused on Oklahoma’s initiative to introduce the Bible and Ten Commandments into public schools. I argued this imitative is justified due to the following biblical-values-and-public-schools: First, participation is necessary. Oklahoma has simply entered a game already in progress. They chose not to surrender more field to an enemy who isContinue reading “Demonic Marxism Rises. Who will Oppose it?”

Biblical Values and Oklahoma Public Schools

In Oklahoma, public schools are incorporating the Bible and the ten commandments into the curriculum. Is this a good thing or bad thing? Is it reasonable or unreasonable? It needs a calm, rational discussion–if that is possible with such a topic. https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/27/us/oklahoma-schools-bible-curriculum/index.html All Oklahoma schools are required to incorporate the Bible and the Ten CommandmentsContinue reading “Biblical Values and Oklahoma Public Schools”

The Lost Generations: Today and Yesteryear

The Baby Boomer generation can be blamed for not relinquishing political power, for passing on massive problems (huge national debt, failing social security, etc.), and most importantly, for failing to instill their values in the next generations. Ronald Reagan said each generation has responsibility to the next: Freedom is never more than one generation awayContinue reading “The Lost Generations: Today and Yesteryear”

Let’s Kick Butker

Kansas City Chief placekicker, Harrison Butker, raised himself from relative anonymity with a commencement speech at Benedictine College (Atchison, Kansas) last week. He spoke of Catholicism, of Catholic and traditional values to Catholic kids at a Catholic college. He spoke of “controversial” things like the importance of family, the domestic church, and our distinct rolesContinue reading “Let’s Kick Butker”
