Yesterday, I wrote about the Texas Abortion Law. Same with the day before. Why am I so adamant about getting this message across? Honestly, it is a source of division even within my family. I'm the nut-job, religious freak who keeps bringing Jesus into the conversation. People tend to avoid that. Why won't I just … Continue reading Just Let It Go

Texas Abortion Law
The Texas Abortion Law is really stirring up the Facebook feed. One sarcastic comment from a man I don't know posed an "impossible" question. Suppose you are in a fertility clinic when suddenly there is a life-threatening fire and you are able to either save an 8-year-old child or a vial of 1,000 embryos. Either … Continue reading Texas Abortion Law
My Body, My Choice.
It sounds like the Supreme Court of the United States will allow a new Texas law to go into effect. The law will prohibit providers from performing an abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected. No exceptions are provided. Some people are very happy. Some, like President Biden and Vice-President Harris, are outraged. "My body, … Continue reading My Body, My Choice.
Chaos In The Streets
Last Friday, Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22 1/2 years for the death of George Floyd. Everyone has an opinion on that. Some think the sentence was fair. Others would like to see him dead. Still others think he got a rotten deal. All these and everything in between. Without a doubt, this event has … Continue reading Chaos In The Streets
Theocracy.
Most people object to the violence in the Old Testament and, therefore, disregard Christianity. The Law requires stoning for many offenses that today are commonplace. We think of we have come far from the days of brutish, barbaric behavior such as that. To make the point, the objectors turn the table and ask the Christian … Continue reading Theocracy.
Cleansing of the Church
Lately, I've written about Critical Race Theory ("CRT"). As with many "cultural" issues, the church is often late to the party. CRT is already in our schools, yet most of us have never heard of it. In his new book, "Fault Lines", Voddie Baucham, Jr. warns of this false religion becoming a big problem in … Continue reading Cleansing of the Church
Prepare Ourselves.
Our home church is reading Deuteronomy. It is probably my favorite book of Moses. In today's blog, I'm going to write about this verse, to prepare ourselves. “You shall not do according to all that we are doing here today, everyone doing whatever is right in his own eyes, Deuteronomy 12:8 This is familiar language. … Continue reading Prepare Ourselves.
Capital Punishment
It is springtime in rural Minnesota. The birds are singing and spirits are lifting. Two hours away, things are not so good. There, the trial of Derek Chauvin begins. You'll recognize him as the police office who knelt on the neck of George Floyd, a man suspected of passing phony $20 bills, until he died. … Continue reading Capital Punishment

“And God blessed Noah” Genesis 9:1a We’ve been reading a bible plan through our home church. I’m already in a plan, so I’m reading two right now. It’s interesting to see what a person can pick up just a few months after reading the very same material! For instance, we covered Exodus 21 & 22 … Continue reading 2019-09-16 Off With His Head!
