Taking on the idols
These 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.

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.

On July 19, he, and Rick Green, and Matt Barber were on Wallbuilders Live, whipping their audience to vote for Romney by declaring that not voting for Romney is a sin. Here’s a […]
Read moreI am writing this with a heavy heart. I do not want to criticize Gary DeMar, for I have learned much from him over the years, especially about eschatology, the Christian history of America, and about the Law of God and its validity today. I still hold him in great esteem as one of my teachers. But I have also […]
Read moreAlbert Mohler, the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, is groping for answers in the dark night that has fallen on our nation after the Aurora massacre. The question is, “why?” He goes back to the reality of human evil. Then he goes to the grace of moral restraint which he sees in the institutions and laws that God […]
Read moreIf you thought that Obama’s remark to small business owners that they didn’t build their businesses was kind of odd and unusual, or may be even a slip of the tongue, think twice. It is, in fact, a basic doctrine of socialism concerning the emergence of economic classes in the society that successful people owe their success to anything else […]
