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 […]

It’s All Connected

Christians and those who follow traditional Hebrew theology understand very basic principles. God made us. God made us in His image. We cannot change the form or spirit in which He made us. To think otherwise would be to put ourselves above God and put us at odds with His Will. I spent the last […]

The Truth will set you free

We are being lied to and have become numb to deceptions. We have allowed this misguidance to lead to the abuse of our free will and have become complacent in our acceptance of the lies being peddled before us. Rather than accepting these lies, let us follow the truth. The truth is marriage is an […]

A True Feminist

Helen B. Taussig was one of the greatest individuals I have ever met. She was a pioneer in her field of pediatric cardiology and was one of the founders of the Taussig—Blalock—Thompson shunt. She was a true classical feminist. We had a relationship that traversed two generations within my family. My father was a family […]

Our Clergy Must Stand Up for God and Country NOW!

A tsunami of evil is growing against the Christian community and needs to be stopped. Our forefathers were willing to do certain things to give us this God given nation that today’s Christian community seems all too willing to give up to the left. Our forefathers gave up trying to appease the British noted by […]

My People Who Are Called By My Name

We recommend that anyone interested in where our country is heading should read this important article. The following communique […]

Will Christian Leaders Step Forward to take our Country Back?

So here we are in 2023 and the sun came up once again: I will tell you that the challenges that lie ahead for our country are many and I’m not sure that the American people are up to the task of cleaning out the bureaucratic swamp that we have been squatting in Washington for […]

A Great Religious Leader

For all Christians—Catholic and Protestants, the writings of Father John Ratzinger later to become Pope Benedict the XVI, and his prescient transcendent understanding of human nature and his love of man and God, have had an impact on modern religious, theological, and political and economic, thinking that will only grow and become more understood in […]

Happy Families are all Alike

“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” I first read those words 46 years ago. Arguably the opening sentence in Leo Tolstoy’s ANNA KARENINA is one of the most famous opening lines in all of literature. Before I ever thought of becoming a husband, a father, or a […]
