Taking on the idols
“I swear by God this sacred oath. . . .” “I swear . . . so help me God.” Boy, didn’t the Democrats give the Republican neocon propaganda machine a shovel-ready propaganda point by omitting God from their party platform. I read about 40-plus angry articles by neocon authors on the issue. (And I know I don’t even read a […]
Read moreA technologically important corollary of the Third Law of Motion is that a force can be measured by measuring the opposite force which balances the action of the first force. A practical application of that corollary is that most of our modern meters, indicators, or censors actually directly measure not action, but reaction. For example, all scales measure counterweights instead […]
Read moreThe gospel was planted in my heart and mind when I was a young boy, but it seemed it never took root, even though it sprung up for awhile. Now don’t ask me as to how God’s electing purpose works out in each individual because I don’t have the details. I honestly don’t know if I was saved from then […]
Read more“Man must exercise dominion as he goes about his daily tasks. Even the hermit, who is not part of the economy’s division of labor – must plant, or hunt, or search for berries. He displaces other life. The animals fear him and give him deference, as a feature of life which was part of God’s reaffirmation of the covenant dominion […]
Read moreMany have heard the claim that Christians, Jews and Muslims, all serve the same God, we just have minor differences in very insignificant areas. Of course, this statement cannot be farther from the truth as both Jews and Muslims deny the deity of Christ and have a soteriology that is based upon human merit. “But if it is by grace, […]
Read moreNow, let me start with the assurance that I do not support the actions of the punk band Pussy Riot for which they got 2 years in jail by a Russian court. No, not because they were “sacrilege,” not at all. If someone should be accused of sacrilege for vandalizing a temple – a true temple, mind you, not a […]
Read moreWe have all heard Paul’s words in Romans 13 concerning submission to governing authorities, but when does submission become sinful? Most Christians will go to direct commands given in the New testament of how the Christian should behave, but for some reason when government becomes the issue, those direct commands become reinterpreted to fit their own arbitrary circumstances. Sounds like […]
Read moreIn the same way that Big Medicine is making millions while causing unnecessary problems with the health of others, Big Government is also creating problems and getting richer and more powerful, expanding their grip of tyranny. The moronic solutions and sinful motives are the problem with government. The examples government has set for large and small businesses, leads to the […]
Read more“You shall walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.” Deuteronomy 5:33 This passage doesn’t apply today to us in the New Testament…or does it?

Read moreWhen Gary DeMar published his article defending voting for the Mormon Romney, “Some Think Another Obama Term Would Be Good for America,” I was quite disappointed. It was obvious that he misrepresented his “conservative/libertarian/anti-establishment” opponents. None of us has ever said that “another Obama term would be good for America.” The issue has always been comparing Romney and Obama, not […]
