In the Old Testament Book of Micah there is a brief passage instructing man how to act. It reads, “Act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.” That is very simple and straightforward; but one might ask, what is justly? Micah answered that question immediately prior to this instruction. He wrote, “He has […]
The Rittenhouse affair exposed the deep divide that threatens to tear our nation apart. Leftist activists ignored plain evidence in this case and described Rittenhouse as a murderous vigilante. Many of them obviously wished to hang him from the first available tree. To those on the right, Rittenhouse was a hero for attempting to defend […]
Kenosha Riot 2020 How many of you have followed the case of Kyle Rittenhouse, now on trial for murdering two protestors in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during the turbulent summer of 2020? Reactions to the incident and to the trial provide a vivid illustration of the cultural and racial issues that divide America. Some people consider Rittenhouse […]
There are many things I cannot understand. Much of my confusion relates to the nation’s current political divisions. I believe that the election results in several critical states need to be verified.

I would hate to be a juror in the Chauvin trial. Some members of the mob outside the courtroom are threatening fire and destruction if the jury fails to convict Chauvin. I do not think Chauvin intended to kill Floyd, and the victim probably died from a drug overdose I saw a detailed composite […]

The following is selectively extracted from an opinion piece by Carol M. Swain, a former tenured professor at Vanderbilt and Princeton universities, recently published in WND. We are at a historical moment where America’s institutions of higher education, many of them founded and led by Christian leaders, have rejected their founders and become transmission […]
This post is essentially a repeat of arguments I made some months ago. I believe the subject deserves another visit. Liberal-progressive opinion today is strongly opposed to capital punishment, and conservatives tend to have mixed feelings. Most European nations have abandoned the practice, and many American states no longer impose it. Slowly, inexorably, it appears […]
In these troubled times it is often difficult to discern truth from falsehood. It is made even more difficult by the all too obvious bias of those who bring us the news. However, if we assiduously and honestly search for truth we can find it. The following are truth statements. First are […]
