The Famished Patriot

Every year, on the final Monday in May, Americans pause to honor all of those who “died while in the military service.” There is no greater gift one can give to his or her country. From the brave ones who fell from the first shots fired at Lexington-Concord, to the latest American casualty brought home […]

We 21st century American Christians are, on the whole, woefully ill-equipped when it comes to understanding things like inalienable/unalienable rights. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that we have not been trained in these areas at all, or at least if we have, such training has not come from our churches. There is a […]

I have decided to post a new blog to continue the ongoing conversation on the so-called “myth” of “inalienable” rights—and hopefully bring a few more folks into the discussion. The conversation began last Thursday with this blog post by my friend and pastor, Jeff Ling. Note the comments on this page as well. It continued […]

For the third time in four months, I had the privilege of attending a gathering where Bishop E.W. Jackson took the podium. He’s a gifted, visionary prophet for our generation, and he fires me up every time I hear him speak. The event was a December 6th luncheon in Landsdowne, (Loudoun Co.) VA, a quarterly […]

I submit to you that there was but one element missing in this year’s election process. And it is the sole reason our incumbent Commander-in-Chief was returned to the White House for another four years. The missing element? Virtue. Virtue has all but disappeared from our American landscape. Virtue is out of vogue. Virtue is […]

I love Westerns. The Searchers. High Noon. Riders of The Purple Sage. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. Tombstone. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Dances With Wolves. 9:10 To Yuma (Original). Lonesome Dove (The original TV mini-series). One of my favorites, probably in the top two or three actually, is Open Range starring Robert Duvall […]

They are out there. You know it and I know it. I am talking about those people—those Americans—who hate America. And it troubles me … it troubles me greatly. The worldview that I have enjoyed all of my life cannot make room for hating America. The sentiment does not fit into my personal perspective on […]

Be on the lookout for a new series … THE PATRIOT … COMING JANUARY 2nd! Renowned atheist Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) passed away on Thursday, December 15th, from esophageal cancer. He was 62. News of his death quickly spread throughout the western world. Hitchens, a prolific atheistic firebrand, often debated Christian thinkers and apologists in the […]

Be on the lookout for a new series … THE PATRIOT … COMING JANUARY 2nd! Winston Churchill is one of my heroes. He inspires me. Below is Part 1 of an article I penned in 2000. It examines the idea of Christian civilization. …………….. “…I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. […]

You didn’t think I dreamed up this Cultural Mandate stuff by myself did you? Well I wish I could take credit for it but …. uh … no. The Cultural Mandate idea has been around for a long, long time. And today I am going to take a short break from The Grand Narrative and […]
