"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" - Psalm 11:3. When I see this verse, the first thought that comes to mind is, "What are the foundations?" My second thought is, "What about America?" One needs to go no further than the Declaration of Independence to get a list of American foundations. … Continue reading Destruction Of The Foundations

To The Graduates Of 2020
We had the pleasure of attending my granddaughter Brooklynn's High School Graduation Ceremony last week. The local homeschool group hosted the event. Our State Senator, Phil Boots, gave the speech.

The Road Of The Loss Of Respect
Have you ever wondered why old habits are hard to break? I reckon the longer we do something, the harder to stop. As an example, you know what they say about riding a bicycle - you learn when you are a kid, and you never forget. Just yesterday, I had a sixty-one-year-old tell me of … Continue reading The Road Of The Loss Of Respect
Division and Fear
What does the Bible say about those in authority? All authority, from a fifteen-year-old babysitter to the leaders of nations, comes from God (Romans 13:1). However, this God-given authority does not give people in authority the right to exercise absolute rule. Leaders and those in power are "the minister of God, a revenger to execute … Continue reading Division and Fear

When Should The Lockdown End? Is That The Question?
Remember the days when two people could have different opinions and still get along? Now it seems if someone yields a different opinion, the labels of racist, sexist, or some other sort of “ist,” begin to fly. We are a nation divided. In this year of the virus, opinions range from a massive government … Continue reading When Should The Lockdown End? Is That The Question?
Jeremiah and the United States
For the past three decades or so, I cannot help but think of the United States when I read the book of Jeremiah. When Jeremiah begins, sin had engulfed Israel for decades. God anoints the prophet Jeremiah with the message of impending doom if Israel does not repent. Early in the book, God gives Israel … Continue reading Jeremiah and the United States
RIP – A HOUSE DIVIDED
Both President Trump and Speaker Pelosi have the position and authority they have because of God. Romans 13:1, "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." A house divided shall not stand is such a vital truth God … Continue reading RIP – A HOUSE DIVIDED
