Some days ago I had dinner with a new acquaintance here at Charlestown. He seems to be a fine fellow, and I enjoyed conversing with him. We soon discovered that we were on opposite sides in our views on politics and the cultural war going on in our nation. Though he is neither gay nor […]
From time to time I present a Sunday School lesson at my church. Perhaps it is foolish of me to do so, but I decided to share extracts from a few of these lessons on my blog. I hope you enjoy them. LESSON ONE Every other Sunday in my church we celebrate Holy Communion. Rarely […]
Last Wednesday I received a profound shock. The Christian community lost a hero. As many of you realize, we are involved in a struggle for the soul of America. On one side are those who are committed to the Judeo-Chistian ethos. I’m one of them. We are imperfect people. Many of us are Christians, but […]

I responded briefly, but upon further reflection I decided to answer the criticisms more fully. First, what is Clubschadenfreude? I honestly do not know. The German word schadenfreude […]
At times it appears that some members of the scientific community, allied with the humanists, wish to destroy religious faith. They demean our cherished religious beliefs and traditions as being concocted from a miasmic fabric of ancient myths and medieval superstitions. They believe this world is all there is, and we should make the most […]
Wake up, you defenders of liberty. The enemy is at the gates. I discovered this article on the internet, but I do not know who wrote it and from what source I extracted it. I have tried in vain to locate it again. It is so good that I decided to print it verbatim. My […]
