When I wrote Can American Democracy Survive This?, I didn't expect I would be writing a "part II," but this article on Fox News convinced me that I needed to blog again, even though I intend to wind my blog down soon. (It's getting harder and harder for me to make the time for it!)…
A disturbing poll is being discussed by media on both the right and the left. This poll finds that a majority of students in the United States of America believe it to be perfectly acceptable to shout down a speaker who is saying things which with they disagree. A whopping 17% -- almost 1 in…
The picture accompanying this post is of what some in the media describe as a "peaceful protest" in Kenosha. In reality, it is the bombing of a car to protest racism. I could just have easily chosen a picture of Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, New York City, Philadelphia ... and even a small city in my…
I just recently read this article in which William McGurn (who I had never heard of) reveals that he has become a first time gun owner. Since he looks to be my age (in his 60's) and I also recently fired a hand gun for the first time, I thought I'd explain why I took…
Anyone who has read my blog would find it pretty obvious that I like a good comic book. I suppose I never quite grew up. Comic books did, though. In Comic Books for Parents Part I, Part II, Part II, and Part IV, I explained for adults (who might not know any better) just how…
Pictured is a modern artist's rendition of the "Golden Age" Superman from the second book collecting his earliest adventures. I found volume two cheap at a discount store in my area, and I thought I'd give it a try so I could take a walk through comic book history. It was an interesting stroll. Lots…
Every Christmas -- though less often now -- secular Christmas music is played on the radio. Among these pieces is Leroy Anderson's Sleigh Ride. (I've linked to it on YouTube for your listening pleasure -- and I'll continue to do so throughout this post.) If you didn't know better -- and I suspect many people…
If you've been with me for the last month, I've been condensing several chapters in my book, Solid Ground, ( "The Theological Fight of the Centuries," "Predestination and Free Will," and "Why Bad Things Happen to Good People" ) and another book titled UnReformed to explain how I think predestination and free will work together.…
In my previous three (Part I, Part II, and Part III), I've been condensing several chapters in my book, Solid Ground, ( "The Theological Fight of the Centuries," "Predestination and Free Will," and "Why Bad Things Happen to Good People" ) and another book titled UnReformed to explain how I think predestination and free will…
In the previous two posts (Part I and Part II), I began a conversation about predestination (also called "election") and free will in the context of our salvation. To recap briefly, this is the question: does God choose who will be saved apart from a man's choice, or does he offer salvation to everyone and…
