Taking on the idols
A few months ago, a debate intensified between two groups of well-respected Christian leaders, in which members of the International Coalition of Abolitionist Societies and members of Apologia Church, Polemics Report, Cross Encounters Ministries, Bible-Thumping Wingnut, and Crown Rights Media began disputing over an event known as the Church Repent Project. For those who do not know what this is, […]

Forget about the Republican establishment; that one has been exposed long time ago, and Donald Trump is only repeating the same things many other people said. It is the evangelical church establishment that is hit much worse by Trump’s ostensibly chaotic babbling. Yeah, he is acting like a 5-year-old on two pounds of sugar, but – and I don’t say […]

I’m sorry I need to burst this bubble, but the Republican governors’ “rebellion” against Obama’s refugee resettlement plan is not an application of the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate.

Last year, when it became obvious that the Muslim Brotherhood was winning the elections in Egypt, a Christian friend of mine wrote me a panic-ridden email telling me how much Ron Paul and we Paulbots were wrong not to take seriously the threat of radical Islam in the Middle East. See, he said, radical islamists are winning, and very soon […]
