    Supreme Court Cake Decision Aligns With Most Americans

    To hear some liberals discuss the Colorado baker case last week, you would have thought it was "Cake-ageddon." In cases not involving sexuality, this issue would be obvious. As one colleague noted, "Should a black printer be forced against his will to print up fliers for the KKK? Should an orthodox Jewish deli owner be forced to serve ham sandwiches?" Yet the absolutists favoring same-sex rights allowed for no freedom of conscience in this area.

  • Has Connecticut Betrayed Its Rich Contribution to the Constitution?

    Has Connecticut Betrayed Its Rich Contribution to the Constitution?

    There are plans afoot, including by politicians in Connecticut, to effectively abolish the Electoral College. It's a plan for liberals to hitherto control the presidency.

  • Shall the Geeks Inherit the Earth?

    Shall the Geeks Inherit the Earth?

    Jesus said the meek shall inherit the earth. But today, could it be that the "geeks" of Silicon Valley are instead trying to inherit the earth?

  • God and the Santa Fe School District

    God and the Santa Fe School District

    The hostility against religion in general, but Christianity in particular, can get downright vicious. In Santa Fe, the ACLU filed suit to halt prayers at a baccalaureate service, privately sponsored by a group of ministers in 1995. Just to make sure they got the message, Kent declared, "Anybody who violates these orders, no kidding, is going to wish that he or she had died as a child when this court gets through with it."

  • Is America Shaking Its Collective Fist at God Through the Wholesale Slaughter of the Unborn?

    Is America Shaking Its Collective Fist at God Through the Wholesale Slaughter of the Unborn?

    Some people virtually celebrate abortion. Just because evil may prevail for a time, God will only allow it for a while.

  • 'Uncle Joe' Is Back?

    'Uncle Joe' Is Back?

    I can't believe the depth of ignorance of many modern people in the West. Mass murderer Joseph Stalin, ruthless dictator of the Soviet Union from 1924 to 1953, appears to be making a comeback, at least among some.

  • Spreading the Gospel Globally — Through Healthcare

    Spreading the Gospel Globally — Through Healthcare

    What about those who want to serve as a medical missionary yet they have an unpaid student loan that helped train them to become a doctor, a nurse, a physical therapist?

  • Do You Have to Go to Church to Be a Good Christian?

    Do You Have to Go to Church to Be a Good Christian?

    From time to time, someone objects to the need to attend church regularly. They say they can be good Christians without participating in church. I don't agree.

  • Confessions of a 'Christian Constitutionalist'

    Confessions of a 'Christian Constitutionalist'

    After a recent column on "fake news," someone sent me an email, accusing me of propagating fake news by saying the Bible had anything to do with the founding of America. Unfortunately, this reader, like so many others, fails to understand the historical truth that the Bible played a unique role in helping to create the U.S. Constitution.

  • 'Fake News' and 'Our Democracy'

    'Fake News' and 'Our Democracy'

    I think it's a given that in a country where our Constitution forbids the government from abridging the freedom of the press, some might abuse that freedom and declare what is false. There are legal and societal remedies for that. Besides, who gets to define what is "fake news"?
