Bible Study Helps: The Prophets

Pink Apostates

The Cultural Revolution 50 Years On

Jul 13, 2018

Three Cheers for Rules (and For Keeping Them)

Little House on the PC Prairie

OK, I admit: I have not read them, but millions of others have. The much-loved Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie novels are under attack by the PC censorship brigade. The books are deemed to be racist and

Difficult Bible Passages: Matthew 22:30

Jul 7, 2018

So what happens to marriage when believers get to heaven? The passage we are discussing here seems to tell us that it will become superfluous. That may be of concern to many, especially those who have had a close, loving

What Are We? Hetero or Homo?

Jul 5, 2018

What to Read On the Trinity and Christology

Getting What We Want (By Killing Others)

Jul 3, 2018

The Trinity for Dummies

Faith, Family and Freedom in Today’s Russia

Christianity Really Is Bookish

Jun 28, 2018

The Christian religion is one in which books really matter. Reading and writing matter greatly to biblical Christianity. It is a bookish religion. Note, I did not say Christians are bookish. Sadly that is not true of most Christians today.

“Hate” Crimes, Double Standards, and the Death of the West

Jun 26, 2018

As has been often said, if it weren’t for double standards, most folks on the left would have no standards at all. In the West this duplicity and hypocrisy from the left is ever on display. Countless examples of it
