According to a news report on Monday, Democrat Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) attacked Trump supporters over the weekend during a community meeting with New York State assembly member Rebecca Seawright. Schumer said, “You probably ask yourself the same question I ask myself: How could 74 million people vote for such a despicable human being […]
I fear that my posts sometimes reflect a “holier than thou” attitude. If that is true, I apologize. I certainly do not feel that way. I am acutely aware of my own sinful nature, and I do not hold myself up to be better than others. I was fortunate enough to have been reared in […]
For years cosmologists believe that the universe had existed eternally in more or less the same state. There was no beginning, and the physical world had always been and would always continue to be. Some scientists actually feared the thought of a finite beginning of the universe because of its possible religious implications. But that […]
I recently attended a book fair and picked up two novels, one of them was by a British author whose name was unknown to me. I read the book jacket reviews and was impressed. Reviewers used such phrases as “fluid, sparkling prose,”, “lifelike characters,” “sophisticated psychological portraits,” “a compelling page turner,” and so on. As […]

I do not wish to appear callous, but I believe that when an American adventurer, businessman or missionary ventures into to some turbulent or hostile foreign land, he or she should do so with eyes wide open and be willing to accept the risks. Whereas it is our government’s duty to provide support, there is […]
Another argument for God’s existence comes from our almost universal agreement on something we call moral or natural law. It appears that every human society believes that there are certain rules that should govern our conduct; and there is a remarkable degree of consistency in these rules from society to society, even in pagan societies.

Late yesterday we returned from Junaluska and our family reunion. According to my son Harold’s headcount, there were 49 of us, and a good number were children. That bodes well for the future. I believe everyone had a good time. We had family from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, […]
Two days from now, on July 9th, some forty-six members of our family will gather at Lake Junaluska for a reunion. The number is down quite a bit from that at our last gathering in 2017, but it will be grand to see the ones that can come. Thank the Lord, the Covid restrictions have […]
