This week I was privileged to be part of an impromptu discussion over morning coffee that included two legislators and several educators. I opined that the educational hierarchy and establishment have lost their perspective regarding the purpose, focus, and breadth of what education should be all about. I believe that people like Danial Webster, William […]
The conservative Catholic Bishop from Tyler Texas Fr. Joseph Strickland, an outspoken critic of the current Pope was removed last week from his ecclesiastical responsibilities by Pope Francis. According to the National Catholic Reporter, Strickland’s use of social media, his anti-vaccine message during the Covid-19 pseudo faux pandemic, his calling out of President Joe Biden […]
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 […]
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 […]
Jesus was a politician but not the type of politician we think about today. Politicians, Kings, Emperors, dictators, and tyrants all leverage the power they have at their disposal to promote themselves and preserve their own personal paths to political ascendency. Jesus rarely weighed in on political issues except to attack political and economic systems […]
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 communique to the Evangelic Churches This article was originally published in 2004 but we felt that it would be a good time to reintroduce it because it concerns the church’s role in our nation’s future. We recommend that anyone interested in where our country is heading should read this important article. The following communique […]
I very much appreciate the feedback I receive on my Gem State articles. Fortunately, most of the very negative feedback comes via e-mail. The response that I received about my pushing back on the comments of Sunny Hostin when she opined on TV that Jesus would be at the head of the LGBT parade have […]
Sunny Hostin, one of the hosts on THE VIEW, opined last week that “if Jesus were on earth right now—He would play a leading role in The LGBT parade.” The assumption of the moral high ground without a moral predicate is common amongst secular humanists who believe that they can define for themselves their own […]
I have received thousands of pieces of mail, e-mails, and social media posts this election season. One stands out above all the others. It came in my e-mail this morning and it was from the Ammon Bundy campaign. It asked for prayers and fasting. It certainly did not ask that we pray for a victory […]
God’s Hand In History As His People Seek Him I am no different than many people in our country as we look for a “red wave” to save us and turn this country around on November 8th. As with most Americans, we realize that we are at a tipping point in our country. The Constitution, […]
When I was six years old, I knew that I could fly if I had a red cape. I made such a cape out of a piece of a red curtain in my room. I made a cape for myself and my three-year-old brother who would follow me everywhere, and I set out to FLY. […]
