“Nothing more detestable does the earth produce than an ungrateful man.” — Ausonius “I think it is a fascinating opportunity to rebrand ourselves,” said Winston-Salem Council Member John Larson. This occurred at a recent meeting held to discuss removing the word “Dixie” from the name of the Dixie Classic Fair. Indeed, all the usual suspects …
Good Lord save us from megachurches and the contemporary “worship space” names they litter upon our once Christ-filled landscape. For the love of God: nine Elevation locations in the vapid Reconstructed city of Charlotte were already quite enough. And now the post-modern Christians wanna spread this hipster nonsense all around Carolina. Enough with the plastic …
“It is un-Christian to wear a MAGA to the March For Life.” That was the social-media pronouncement from a really nice guy I know. What would make a usually mild-mannered Christian post such hostility? Moreover, this statement came a whole week after the brouhaha surrounding the male students from Covington Catholic High School. A whole week …
If you read my last blog, “Damn straight MAGA’s the new Battle Flag!” you may be asking yourself, “But what can we do? How can we counter progressivism? How can we ‘conservatives’ fight the madness?” Well, here are 5 suggestions – ideas that I think the “Covington kids” controversy made abundantly clear but need to be fully …
“Religious liberty might be supposed to mean that everybody is free to discuss religion. In practice it means that hardly anybody is allowed to mention it.” — G.K. Chesteron Just as the “tree of guilt” obstructs our view of the forest (as discussed in Part 1), its roots run deep, establishing a wild entanglement, strong …
A sane, rational person can simultaneously feel sorrow over the lives lost in the recent Pittsburgh shooting and pray for their grieving families, while also critiquing the many predictable-to-extreme progressive commentaries saturating the social ether. Intellectual honesty and compassion are not mutually exclusive, even though that’s what cultural Marxists want you to think. It’s a …
“But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.” — Matthew 5:13 Salt is valuable. It is a commodity because it can disinfect, preserve, enhance flavor, and prevent slipping. Thus, in both a Christian and …
You might not expect a homeschooling Facebook group to be a hot spot of political controversy, especially one which is comprised of classical Christian educators. After all, these are moms and dads who are supposed to stand for truth, no matter the consequences. Parents who are trying to model godly behavior to their children. Home-educators …
The recent “separation” brouhaha has simmered down a bit now. President Trump signed an executive order stopping this two-decade-long immigration practice, but plans to continue his “zero-tolerance” policy of immediate prosecution along the southern border, not the fatuous catch-and-release program. There’s always some common-sense thing that works leftists into a lather when it comes to immigrants. Whether …
“In my experience, it’s too simplistic (and unfair) to blame one group of people for our collective failure to evangelize,” said Pastor J.D. Greear, who last month was elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Yet that’s exactly what he and the other race-hustlers do: blame white Christians and their “inertia” and “privilege” for the …
