The Famished Patriot

I posted something on Facebook today that received fairly positive comments. All were positive actually. But some did question my premise that the American seedbed of liberty was planted and cultivated by the colonial church. This is a premise I have long held and I am going to take a few minutes to share a […]

Yesterday we commemorated the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Code named Operation Overlord, the successful Allied effort to establish a beachhead on the shores of France, this monumental day was the first step in the long slog toward taking Berlin in our quest to defeat Nazi Germany. This critical moment in world […]

I was involved in some conversations this week that got me to thinking. A few discussions occurred on Facebook. One discussion occurred face to face. All of the conversations boiled down to one simple question—a question that contains some very consequential implications. It is a question that I do not believe anyone can answer with […]

On this Fourth of July, 2013, I am mourning the loss of my country. And I mourn for several reasons. 1. I mourn first and foremost that so many of my American countrymen have rejected the God whose merciful goodness secured liberty for so many generations in our land. 2. I mourn because those who […]

Like most of my friends, I have long held Ronald Reagan in high esteem. It is hard to imagine that his last day in office as our president happened almost twenty-five years ago. I remember the hopeful feelings I had when he first was elected to office in 1980 almost thirty-three years ago. We had […]

The U.S Constitution needs a new set of apologists. No … wait … I am not suggesting that we apologize FOR the Constitution. Quite the contrary. An apologist, you see, is a defender, one who argues in support of a belief system. The term is most commonly used in the field of Christian theology, with […]

Tonight and all day tomorrow, Christians from across the globe will be celebrating the break-in. Indeed, Christmas is the most renown break-in in all of human history. Other break-ins aren’t even a proverbial blip on the radar in comparison. This evening, churches across our land will be lit with candles as we sing the words […]

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 […]

In my previous blog post on Thursday, I raised a similar question. I asked, “WHO Should the Christian Choose?” Today I am raising a slightly different question. “HOW Should the Christian Choose?” The New Testament provides us with very little to go on in the way of instructions for voting. I say “very little” because […]

I had the privilege of hearing Virginia’s Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, speak at a pastor’s luncheon on Wednesday, September 5th in Landsdowne, VA. I found great inspiration in his words and in this brief blog post, I will do my best to recap his message for you. Mr. Cuccinelli spoke for about forty-five minutes, focusing […]
