I Will Build My Church

There’s been a lot of talk as of late about the Equality Act, which was introduced in the house by Democrat lawmakers on February 23rd. Now, on the one hand, this isn’t a new legislation. In fact, the bill came up in Congress during Donald Trump’s presidency, and it even passed in the lower chamber…

Fighting with the Family

There are certain providential circumstances that lead to conversations you might not have entered otherwise. My wife and I had such a conversation late last week.

I got a call from one of my sons several weeks ago and he said, “Hey Dad you know how you say you hate social media?”  I did not need to be reminded.  I have seen these incredible tools commonly referred to as social media used in some pretty terrible ways.  Just last year I…

Who has the answer for the approaching implosion of our country? Our “motto” is “One Nation under God”, or it used to be. Now it has come…

Fighting for Our Faith

The Battle of France, also known as the Fall of France, was the German invasion of France and the Low Countries during the Second World War. In May and June of 1940, German armored units made a surprise push through the Ardennes, and then along the Somme valley, cutting off and surrounding the Allied units that had advanced into Belgium to meet the expected German invasion. British, Belgian, and French…

A table and two chairs in a dark room

Feeling the Tension, Pt. 3

We’re all familiar with the scene. The single light shining down onto a cold, metal table in a dark and empty interrogation room. The light from the overhead lamp illuminates the face of a man. He is handcuffed, dressed in prisoner orange. His face is both bright and dark, the effects of the single light…
