His other main […]

November 5, 2017 will be remembered as the day that Satan came calling to small Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Devin Kelley barged through the front door while Sunday services were in progress and began firing at random with an assault rifle. Before his massacre had ended, 26 were dead and two dozen seriously

Dr. Alan Jacobs, professor of the honors program at Baylor University, and an evangelical Christian, has written a book entitled, “How to Think: A Survival Guide for a World at Odds.” The theme of the book is how to create better dialogue in an era of hostilities.

A friend sent me the photo of what he’d found on the internet. I could scarcely believe what I saw. A tattoo of a Ouija board on a man’s back. What kind of insanity (or drunkenness) could lead to such a hideous, occult fleshly display is beyond my ken. This man has been hit by

Yes, the city of Las Vegas consists of more than The Strip of gambling casinos, but take away the sin of this

I’ve been reading “National Geographic” magazine since I was a kid. I’ve put up with the unrelenting journalistic bowing to the evolutionary hypothesis and constant pontifical posturing on the evils of humans causing global warming. Most articles are well-written and the photos of our physical world are spectacular. But a recent addition caught my attention

I remember where I was the moment I heard that the self-proclaimed, “King of Pop,” Michael Jackson, was dead. I was in the fitness room of a Nairobi, Kenya hotel, working out, before boarding a plane to Tanzania where I’d climb the tallest mountain in Africa, 20,000 foot Kilimanjaro. I wasn’t really surprised to hear

It wasn’t exactly a flood of biblical proportions, but to Florida victims of hurricane Irma, it sure felt like it. Some, whose homes and possessions were inundated with water, like those victims of hurricane Harvey in Houston, must have felt a little like Noah without an ark. The bright side to this tragedy was the evidence
