Why are Christians Under Fire? What Changed?

This Sunday, I was listening to my pastor’s sermon and thought to myself, why is it that we are dealing daily with attacks on Christianity, and I decided to do some research to find out why this is happening. According to a PEW survey, Church attendance has been down substantially over the last 30 years […]

A New Faith

Pretty much everything in the Bible provides guidance on how to live one’s life. In the never ending movement to usurp control over all aspects of life, the United Nations (UN) is now working on capturing control over religious institutions. Most large religious institutions have adopted the UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). This […]

Reasons to Celebrate CHRISTMAS

Without a doubt, Christmas is the happiest time of the year. With every package placed under the tree children look forward to Christmas with greater anticipation. Families and friends look forward to a great meal and fellowship around the table. People who ordinarily would not listen to anything you might care to share often are […]

Crazy Times!

Knowing The Time We Are Living In Do you ever go to bed at night and think that the world is nuts? Do you ever wonder why this is happening? The Bible has hundreds of prophecies that foretell future events, and many people are opening up the Bible to get answers. Jesus fulfilled at least […]

Abraham Lincoln Loved God

I just finished a book of Abraham Lincoln’s speeches. So much has been written about Mr. Lincoln and much of the opining has been done with very little understanding of the man and his times. I once listened to a talking head on a morning TV show state that Lincoln really wasn’t an abolitionist! I […]

Happy Fourth! Patriotism and the Church

In his book THE FOUR LOVES, one of the topics C. S. Lewis addresses is patriotism—a timely topic this Fourth of July weekend. He states that there are three pillars that form the foundation for “proper patriotism”: Love of Home and Family Gratitude and respect for the sacrifices of those who came before us. Vigilance […]

An Open Letter to Magic Valley Shepherds

Woke radicals are coming for our families, our children, our churches, our freedoms, and our country. And they’re backed by major corporations, big tech and big media, and every department and agency within our government. Whether the Church will be found complicit, complacent, or courageous against these attacks depends on its shepherds doing the following: […]

Enemies Within the Church

There is a new documentary out, Enemies Within The Church, which documents the decline of evangelical Christianity and the rise of liberalism within the church. Every Christian who is concerned about liberty needs to watch this film and share it with your friends. The film makes the point that the modern church has neglected any […]

Who is on the Bag?

An incredible story came out of my hometown of Columbus Ohio this morning. One of the great “non-major” golf tournaments played on one of the greatest golf courses in the world—Muirfield Village was the scene where Victor Hovland won the tournament on the 73rd hole (overtime). His paycheck was $3.6 million. I have had the […]

The Road to Hell

Milton Freidman famously opined that “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions”. Modern day claims of “charity and social justice” have no bases in Biblical Justice or Natural Law Theory. A legislator, a government bureaucrat, a hospital that is the recipient of government transfer payments are not participating in any form of “Christian […]

Our Sacred Honor

The adults who oversee many of our institutions that historically have held the keys to the kingdom of the promise of hope and advancement in our society, have proceeded in a world and with hearts that are void of virtue. The predicate for all actions in a civil and ordered world must be a foundation […]

Happy Easter

Today I am writing on Palm Sunday. For followers of Jesus the events from Jesus triumphant entry on a Donkey into Jerusalem until his ascension into Heaven forty days after his resurrection are the essence of our Christian faith. If there was no resurrection, the whole story was a hoax. If there was not an […]
