    The Floods Have Lifted Up Their Voice

    The aftermath of Florence is extraordinary. What we have witnessed reminds us that after our many achievements, after our incredible advances in technology, medicine, transportation, communication, and other human endeavors, we are still merely mortals subject to the basest of earth's elements.

    Even 'Sons of Belial' Can Be Saved

    Socialists, Communists, and Antifa have been prominent at the pulling down of Confederate monuments. Listening to the vulgar-laden chants of these activists, witnessing their fear and intimidation tactics, the violence they exercise, as if they were defenders of some righteous cause, is more than disturbing. They demonstrate no reverence for God or man.

    Labor Day: Admonishments for the Employer and Employee

    From our nation's earliest beginnings, Americans have been dedicated to a strong work ethic. It's because of the untold millions that burned the candle at both ends, went the extra mile, pulled their weight and buckled down that America has achieved an unequaled prosperity. If we fail to remember this, if we neglect to honor work and the worker, then we could lose everything we've gained.

  • Is the Pope Right About the Death Penalty?

    Is the Pope Right About the Death Penalty?

    Times have changed, and the church must change with them, is essentially the argument. The modern conclusion is that "more effective systems of detention have been developed" that can sufficiently protect citizens from murderers. Moreover, the guilty must never be deprived the possibility of redemption. With the deepest respect for Pope Francis and my Catholic friends, the change is too much!

  • A Historical Common Thread of Cultures in Decline

    A Historical Common Thread of Cultures in Decline

    A culture's easy acceptance, widespread and excessive use of alcohol, is unquestionably an accelerant for every form of decadence, dissipation, and dissolution. Such is symptomatic of a people treacherously sliding downward.

    As Goes the Church, So Goes the Country

    Today it's much like the situation described in Hosea chapter 4, where the prophet said that God had "a case against" Israel. He said there was "no truth, no faithful love, and no knowledge of God in the land!" Cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and sexual immorality were rampant; one act of bloodshed followed another.
