Who We Are on July 4th
Stephen Spielberg is at it again. Frequently controversial, his latest film is no exception—a SciFi movie about things from another world. Reactions to it range from genius to heresy. But occasionally he drops a movie-moment that simply soars. Such was the climatic speech in his movie Amistad (1997), where the screenwriters inserted their two-bits into…

The Terrible Price of Being Afraid
(I don’t know who wrote this, but bless them…) The Wages of Fear: 2000 – Y2K is going to destroy everything 2001 – Anthrax is going to kill us all 2002 – West Nile Virus is going to kill us all 2003 – SARS is going to kill us all 2005 – Bird Flu is…

When Someone Says, ‘Praise the Lord!’
(The following is Theologian and philosopher Francis Schaeffer comment on the crowning statement of the 1647 The Westminster Shorter Catechism…) “The chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. It would be Scripturally false to leave out the second phrase, and to enjoy Him forever. The men who formulated this…

The Perfect 3-Point Sermon
“If we lived in a state where virtue was profitable, common sense would make us saintly. But since we see that abhorrence, anger, pride and stupidity commonly profit far beyond charity, modesty, justice and thought, perhaps we must stand fast a little—even at the risk of being heroes.” —Sir Thomas More, from the play, A…

Who Claims the Body?
(A bit of wisdom from my dear friend Ken Needham) “While the surgeons and most of the nursing staff were excellent, there were a couple of exceptions—people who had some knowledge and experience who “knew what was best for me” but were not listening to me. It is MY body. I have inhabited it all…

Happy Birthday Professor T
He would have been 120 years old today, but when he passed in 1973, J.R.R. Tolkien was just getting started. I think he would tell us that Heaven is a far nicer place than earth—or Middle Earth. Of all the quotes I’ve ever collected (aside from Scripture) the one that rang most personal came from…

“Behold I Am Wise!” (or not…)
“The proper study of the Christian is God. The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy which can engage the attention of a child of God is the Name, the Nature, the Person, the Doings, and the existence of the great God we call “Father”. It is a subject so vast that all our…

A Prayer for Yom HaShoah
What can we say to God in the face of the horrors of the Holocaust? Let’s pray… Glorified and sanctified be God’s great name throughout the world, Which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, And within the life of the entire House…

Cavorting in a Suicidal World
“Nothing can extinguish it. To the end of time it shall be there and shall always manifest itself, and men must never lose heart because of that. All [mankind’s ideas and struggles to create his own utopia] are absolutely worthless—the society in which utopianism is the great pursuit is the one that is about to…

Christian Duty in American Politics
“As Christians [in America], our challenge is to go back as close as we can to the Gospel and truly be the church. Increasingly, we’re likely to be a counter-culture. As that happens, we will be the last great defenders of reason, truth and human dignity, with the task of defending [the Faith] not just…
