EXTRA: That Really Stupid Iran Deal and what God Says About It
‘All right, Sparky, here’s the deal…’ Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz over ceasefire violations. Message received. ‘We won—we’re on a mission from God more than ever and NOTHING will prevent our ultimate victory! Allahu Akbar!’ And what’s their openly oft-stated goal? The downfall of western civilization, the annihilation of Israel, the extinction of the…

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.

Drowning in a Sea of God
He made us the lamps for His light, not the salesmen or the customers of His fire. He fits no category, exceeds every attribution, defies all description except by His own words. He is infinitely more than the object of our study—He’s the subject of the universe itself. He is “the superlative of everything good…

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…

“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…
