Taking on the idols
(This article was first published by Douglas Gregory in his Facebook Notes. I found it very logically and ethically consistent, and I asked him for permission to republish it here.) Recently I was reading an article by Bill Tatro at Townhall.com. The article argues that Paul Ryan should be forgiven his initial support of the Trouble Asset Relief Program (TARP), […]
Read moreThe world and the church’s needs are greater then ever, and so are the opportunities. The stage is set for possibly the greatest advancement in missions the church has ever known. Political upheavals have opened the door to countries that were previously closed, and all the great “ism’s” of secular man have fallen under the weight of their own error. […]
Read moreThere were times when Romney seemed to make something of an attempt to win over the conservative voters, and even the Ron Paul supporters. He’d say a few conservatively-sounding words when he felt he was before the right audience. He’d say he was pro-life (ha ha). He’d say he was anti-establishment (ha ha again). He’d refer to Ron Paul as […]
Read moreLiberal logic. We all know what that means. It’s the logic of those who protest against big corporations and then watch CNN, buy electronic gadgets from Apple, computers from HP, software from Microsoft, cars from Toyota and Honda and BMW bought with Complete Auto Loans – learn more, gasoline from BP and Shell, etc., etc. It’s the logic of those […]
Read moreIf there is nothing else you learn from R.J. Rushdoony’s unique book, The Foundations of Social Order, one thing must remain: A man’s creed determines his whole worldview, including his political positions and how he votes.

Read moreThese days I ran across a piece by some evangelical author who advocates that Christians vote for Romney, because under Romney the church would have better opportunities to spread the Gospel. “Romney will provide more peace and freedom for the Church than will Obama,” he said. “And from a Biblical standpoint, that is the ONLY thing I ask.” He is […]
Read moreIt’s not easy to be a huge peaceful empire, armed to the teeth with state-of-the-art weaponry, having an enormous army, and having at your disposal economic resources that no one else has. Not easy at all. You are always surrounded by pesky little warlike nations who are conspiring to destroy you, if you are not vigilant. Or even better, if […]
Read moreThis is not the first time The World Magazine comes up with an opinion which is an expression not of the Biblical Christianity but of our modern, politically correct, emasculated parody of Christianity which is all too concerned to not hurt someone’s feelings, especially the feelings of those who are in an open rebellion against God and His Law. This […]
Read moreMitt Romney is a conservative, right? And as a conservative, what exactly would you expect him to want to learn from our ally, Israel, and apply it in the US. You would think, for example, airport security. The El Al airport security is low-cost and highly effective; the airline, which has been a target of Muslim terrorists for decades now, […]
Read moreThe Philistines were smart people. It took them two days to figure out that no idol could stand upright in the presence of God. The story is told in 1 Samuel 5. The Philistines captured the Ark of the Lord and brought it to their temple, the house of Dagon. The next morning, when they arose, the statue of Dagon […]
