The Famished Patriot

Today I am publishing the second in my series of six questions. These questions and their commensurate answers will help us better understand how Worldviews shape our lives. In answering, I will be comparing the response from two Worldview perspectives: 1. The Judeo-Christian Worldview 2. The Statist Worldview If you missed the first question, “How […]

No doubt you have heard that the IRS has recently admitted to targeting certain public advocacy groups. Using trigger words and phrases like “patriot” or “Tea Party,” some “low-level” IRS employees (ahem) took it upon themselves to single out applications for 501(c)3 status from recently-formed organizations created to defend our Constitution and traditional, historic, American […]

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 […]

Over the years I have built a fairly sizable library of materials related to our nation’s Christian founding and our rich heritage. Several folks have asked me to publish some reading recommendations. I’ll start with these few and build a “library” of recommendations as the weeks unfold. All of the books on this list are […]

About two years ago, our church went through several weeks of training in a series titled Two Ways To Live. It is a concise, methodical, very Biblical approach to presenting the gospel, and back in 2010, our pastor walked us though it.

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 […]

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 […]

A fellow blogger and friend posted a quote from Will Metzger’s book, Tell The Truth. Here’s the quote that was posted: “Grace uproots three myths – my inalienable rights, my human goodness, my free will – that act as barriers, shielding people from the full impact of the gospel. These barriers are penetrated by the […]

The wife and I try our very best to gather every morning and spend time together in God’s Word and in prayer. This morning, our prayer time was exceptionally Spirit-filled. In the course of prayer I began to pray for our nation (praying for revival in our land has become a routine part of our […]
