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) Men and women are clearly distinct, each with unique qualities and skills. We may know this instinctively and we often accommodate these differencesContinue 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”

The Search for Meaning: The Beginning of Our Eternity

We are in this world for possibly a century, not enough time for many to contemplate what, if any, meaning is attached to their own existence. Other concerns distract or occupy their time. I have certainly contemplated life’s meaning myself, but haven’t fully explored the matter–nor will I ever. We should never stop asking questionsContinue reading “The Search for Meaning: The Beginning of Our Eternity”

Pope Francis: What Do You Mean?

Politics often intrudes into the moral sphere. For instance, abortion has been a political issue the last fifty years, but the Catholic Church has consistently opposed abortion as immoral. The world’s standard is in direct opposition to God’s standard; it violates the sixth commandment. Abortion advocates say it is inappropriate to preach on this political issue and shouldn’tContinue reading “Pope Francis: What Do You Mean?”

The Search for Meaning: 1989 vs 2024

Let’s call this a discussion on the meaning of life.  My friend and debating partner led to this discussion with his skeptical questions regarding my biblical worldview. He also outlined his own value system, one that relies neither on God nor Marx, today’s favorite philosopher. Standards I cannot alter God’s standard to suit myself. It stands aboveContinue reading “The Search for Meaning: 1989 vs 2024”

Ignoring the Evil of Nashville

In my last post, I asked why one-channel media ignored the crime and the manifesto of the Nashville shooter, a member of an “oppressed” group, and failed to blame the usual suspects (guns, Christians, conservatives). A friend of mine called me paranoid: There seems to be a bit of paranoia with your statement.  How wouldContinue reading “Ignoring the Evil of Nashville”

The Nashville Shooter’s Manifesto Exposed

Eight months ago, a Nashville shooter killed six in a shooting spree in a Tennessee Christian school. guns-and-transgenderism-it-is-all-about-the-narrative. The shooter was transgender and the targets were Christians, a narrative difficult to spin. Because no transgenders, gays, minorities, or other oppressed groups were targeted, the usual suspects, Christians and conservatives (especially Caucasian ones), were not blamed.Continue reading “The Nashville Shooter’s Manifesto Exposed”
