For weeks, the ad above (specific contact information removed) has appeared in major newspapers. Saying that “ADDICTION IS NOT YOUR FAULT” is dangerous because it connotes an underlying assumption. If you’re an addict, don’t blame yourself. I agree that shaming people won’t necessarily help them overcome an addiction. They’re already shamed by their dependency and heaping more guilt on them won’t help. But completely letting them off the hook …

Past Christmases have seen battles over Baby Jesus crèches in the public square and questions about whether to say, “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays.” But who could have predicted that a 1940’s music classic, “Baby It’s Cold Outside,” would stir controversy? People who usually could care less about public morality have suddenly become overheated about …

Next to a Christmas tree, near a menorah, and not far from a baby Jesus crèche, is a symbol of Satanism. And it’s in the rotunda of the Illinois statehouse, invoking a satanic merry Christmas this year. The sculpture, called “Snaketivity,” depicts a snake around a woman’s hand holding an apple. As in the photo above, a plaque features …

Last Halloween I wrote a blog entitled “Halloween Hangover,” with the photo of a nearby house. It was decked out with symbols of death and the occult. For Christmas, this same yard is filled with toy soldiers, snowmen, and Santa. No creche. No Christ in Christmas. Toy soldiers and candy canes aren’t demonic, but the …

Thanksgiving week, Thomas Bruce, of Imperial, Missouri, walked into a St. Louis-area Catholic religious supply store, and at gunpoint, ordered three women into a back room. Once there, he forced them to strip nude and perform sex acts upon him. Two of the women complied. A third refused, and Bruce shot her dead. Bruce has …

Her name is Nadia Bolz-Weber, and she’s a Lutheran pastor. Her views are even more disconcerting than the pastoral pose from her Facebook page. Bolz-Weber is on a mission to legitimize what she calls “ethically-sourced porn” by removing “shame” from the industry which thrives on copulating, naked bodies of unmarried intimates. This woman-of-the-cloth does not …

Emerging evidence suggests that the consequences of mistreatment in childhood may persist down the generations, affecting a victim’s children or grandchildren, even if they have experienced no abuse themselves.  “Stress Test,” The Economist, May 26, 2018  Our book “Dealing with Demons,” beginning on page 64, reports regarding the emerging neurobiological study of epigenetics. Citing research published in the journal “Biological Psychiatry,” we explain …

One of the least understood scriptures in the New Testament is 1 Timothy 4:1. Let’s consider it in the classic King James Version: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. KJV These words of the apostle Paul …

The morning after Halloween, Satan’s signature was still evident in the neighborhood where we live. The photo above, which I took just a block down the street, features a graveyard in the front yard, along with a glowering ghost and the Grim Reaper. Nearby were political voter signs, some for senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema, who in …
