Many people, for one reason or another, have never been or have stopped being churchgoers. Many others are thinking about either starting or stopping. Here are a few thoughts I hope will be helpful to someone.
Church going is popularly promoted and attractive to a lot of Americans today based on any combination of a myriad of reasons. Some primary ones include (1) the social advantages and opportunities offered, (2) the level of entertainment that can be expected, (3) the satisfying of a sense of religious duty, inclination or curiosity, (5) the assurance that no ones personal proclivities, philosophy or lifestyle preferences will be questioned or in any way threatened, (6) the desire of people to have their existing beliefs, behavior and intentions a...
Sadly, 2017 was not a good year for babies ready to be born in New York. That year alone 105,380 babies were killed via abortion. The governor at the time, Andrew Cuomo, ratcheted up abortion opportunities in 2019, when he signed legislation to effectively allow the killing of unborn babies right up until the due date. After the signing, he publicly praised the legislation and vowed to keep infanticide via abortion sacrosanct in New York regardless of anything the federal government might ever decide. This Tuesday, Governor Cuomo, in a news conference relative to the coronavirus said, “we're not going to accept a premise that human life is disposable." Really? Does this statement by the governor fit into the category of being a lie? Of course it does...
Polls indicate that at least 70% of young people on campuses support socialism. This is probably right. This video suggests the strong probability that the majority do so out of sheer ignorance. The good news is, that when people will take the time (hint to parents and pastors,
etc.) to calmly and intelligently discuss with them what socialism is, young men and women will almost always reject the concept of socialism.
The bad news is that this video also suggests that many young people on campuses (and elsewhere) embrace socialism for any combination of bad reasons. Some do it because it is their lemming-like, herd-following nature to do so as a consequence of an intellectually lethal combination of ignorance and pride. Others do it because they are t...
George Washington and Donald Trump present, in many ways, a stark study in contrast. However, in a number of significant ways there is much about these two men and their leadership of our country that has much in common. In fact, I doubt if there has been any other president since Washington who has had more in common with him than Donald Trump. I think future historians will be forced (however grudgingly or not) to recognize the greatness of leadership stature shared by these two men.
All of this of course is predicated on two interdependent and inseparable things. The first is whether or not President Trump will survive the hatred and incessant attacks made on his person and administration by the leftists in our government, media, educational, and...
I read recently where a preacher defended his plagiarizing, word for word and without any credit whatsoever, of another preacher’s published sermon. He wrote: “If you’ve got something that’s a good product, why go out and beat your head against the wall and try to come up with it yourself?” This pastor’s words reveal more about himself than they do anything else. In my opinion, something contemptible and not even in line with common sense thinking is I n play here. But, since since he asked the question he did, I'll offer some answers that he and plagiarizing-and-proud-of-it preachers like him, would do well to consider.
First, he talks about the sermon he has plagiarized as a “good product.” But a “good product” whe...
I often receive messages via Facebook asking for my opinion, advice, or “take” on various subjects, religious, political or otherwise to which I’ve responded privately. I’ve decided to anonymously post some of these questions along with my responses. Those who want to participate may message me. The hope is that this Q & A type sharing might provide some perspective, information, etc. that will be helpful. Here’s a question I received this morning: QUESTION: “What do you think about this coronavirus?”
ANSWER: What’s vitally important is that the coronavirus threat to and in the U. S. be kept in proper perspective as the left in Washington and the mainstream (currently the main-scream) media, merchandising on international human misery and fear,...
