YOUR TRUTH, MY TRUTH

YOUR TRUTH, MY TRUTH

I can tell you one thing: without God at the center of our culture, government will inevitably become God. It will be the ultimate authority. It will dictate what is right and what is wrong; what you can and cannot do; where you can and cannot go; how long you should live; what your value is; what you can have and what you must part with, and so on. And anyone living with the thought that we can hold government accountable and shape it to our own will is living in a dream world-a false utopia which history proves over and over again cannot ever be.

GOD’S OWN END-GAME

GOD’S OWN END-GAME

The existence of God, despite the complaints of people like Sir David Attenborough who gave suffering as the reason for his own atheism, doesn't go away by invoking this problem.

WHEN STRONG MEN ARE WOKE

I made the mistake the other day of tuning in, briefly, to NPR "news". It really isn't news, it's opinion dressed as news.

WAR IN AND AROUND ME

WAR IN AND AROUND ME

We're all familiar with reports of war from Ukraine and Gaza. War between nations and people groups is as old as human nature, unfortunately. This is the most visible form of war, but not the only one, by far.

Rapture or Not?

Rapture or Not?

Views of the "rapture of the Church" vary enormously, from people not believing that it's a Biblical event at all and who say it will never happen, to the insistance that all true believers will be whisked from the earth any day now, in order to save us all from suffering and from what's to come upon the earth during the "Tribulation".
