If At First You Don’t Succeed…

Sharron Angle came close to winning the Nevada Senate race, and she’s decided not to let that loss stop her: The high-profile race helped to make her a tea party leader and in her concession speech, she indicated she likely would pursue office again. Recently, she has traveled to Republican rallies in Iowa, New Hampshire [...]

Radiation Found on NBC News Reporter

It was only a matter of time: Yesterday we reported that TV news crews were on the move due to fears of radiation exposure. Today we saw the first example of why those moves were made. On “Today” this morning, NBC News anchor Lester Holt revealed that he and his crew tested positive for small [...]

Prepping for Graduate Programs

In today’s society, many people have a college degree, to the point that having one isn’t the differentiator it once was.  Many colleges are finding that high school has not prepared students for college courses, and there are more remedial programs to catch students up to the point that they could be taught at the [...]

3 Weak Arguments Not To Use To Support the KJV

The King James Version is a majestic translation of the Bible—one that has spanned hundreds of years and still finds many faithful readers today.  The reasons for that are multiple: The prose’s age and grandeur gives the KJV a majestic feel. The scholarship was great such that very few changes have been needed over the [...]

Great Glasses, Great Service

The other day, while my wife was getting ready for church, she put her contacts in and remarked about how different she looks with them on instead of wearing her glasses.  It’s true, glasses do make a difference on how your face is framed1 and they do add to the perception people around you have [...]

Earthquakes in Divers Places

I don’t know if there has ever been an earthquake where the people of God didn’t have this passage of the Bible running through their minds: Matthew 24:7 – For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Lead or Prod?

There’s a reason that the Bible refers to the people of God as sheep, and part of that reason is that the people of God need to be led and cared for, not prodded along.  Which is part of the reason that true Christianity is different than all other religions.

Is This The End of the United States of America?

Depending on who you read, this country is in for a bumpy ride.  The problem centers on a debt spiral that is out of control, and only getting worse. The latest reason for this pessimism comes from some recent statistics—35 percent of wages and salaries this year come from social welfare benefits such as Medicare, [...]

Without Federal Spending, Tens of Thousands Would Cease to Exist

So says the Majority Leader of the Senate, Harry Reid (D-NV).  As part of his defense against the cuts that the House Republicans have made, Sen. Harry Reid defends the National Endowment of the Arts and The National Endowment of the Humanities with the following statement: “The mean-spirited bill, H.R. 1 … eliminates the National [...]

Sarah Palin for President in 2012? Doesn’t Look Like It

I think this is a smart move for her.  I think that she can do a whole lot more from the sidelines than with running.  Why?  Because she would have to overcome the media narrative for her intelligence in order to win, and that would be difficult. Impressions stick, and as long as the media [...]

Why I’m Thinking of Leaving Facebook

I didn’t, originally, want anything to do with Facebook.  I had the advertising laden Classmates account—which I only used once—and I’m weird.  I mean, I once carried as a badge of honor never having eaten at a Taco Bell1.  It wasn’t until the summer that I was laid off that I actually created an account, [...]

It’s About Abortion

If you read the articles from Planned Parenthood supporters, you’d get the impression that the House Majority is set to send women back into slavery to men: The dusty old argument that female sexuality is a subversive force that needs to be strictly controlled isn’t as dead as we thought. The mainstream conservative movement is [...]

Attacks From Without

Aliens come and attack the Earth.  It’s a common theme in movies of the “Thriller” genre, and in each case what we do not find is Earthlings fighting each other, but them all banding together to fight the common enemy. So, if this scenario is common, and believable, why would the West decide to get [...]

It’s The End of The World – May 21, 2011

Believing that the world will end on May 21, 2011, the Family radio ministry has launched a bus ministry around the U.S. to let everyone know. Those who believe in Jesus will be carried into heaven, while the rest of humanity will endure 153 days of ‘death and horror’ before the world ends on October [...]

Just In Case We Lose

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) knows how to get in the news.  Lately, she’s been exposing a little known provision of ObamaCare—the fact that it authorized $105 billion in government spending, without any further action by Congress. The Republicans are calling this “Legislative Fraud”.
