Here is a quick thought for you. We love to read about the lives of saints. They are wonderful stories that show us what a person who is totally submitted to the Lord can do. Often, they also show us how a person can overcome terrible sin in their lives. But, here is the thing […]

We are all socialists now – Newsweek
The latest issue of Newsweek has an article titled, We Are All Socialists Now. It has a rather controversial theme which is captured in the following quote: The U.S. government has already-under a conservative Republican administration-effectively nationalized the banking and mortgage industries. That seems a stronger sign of socialism than $50 million for art. Whether […]
President Obama’s news conference yesterday
I decided to watch a good chunk of President Obama’s news conference yesterday. And I must say that it was nice to listen to a President that spoke in logical sentences and could be understood. It was also very nice that it was a long news conference and that each question was answered extensively. Of […]
The regulative principle
Steve Scott just pointed out to me a fallacy in the regulative principle. The comment was to a post that I wrote back on 10 January. What is the regulative principle? Well, just to remind you, the Westminster Confession of Faith says: The light of nature showeth that there is a God, who hath lordship […]
Malagueña Salerosa

Mythical Beasts — Political and Religious
The ancient world had many mythical beasts. The phoenix is one of my favorites: A phoenix is a mythical bird with a tail of beautiful gold and red plumage (or purple and blue, by some sources). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of […]

Lenten sermon series
No, I am not going to post my Lenten sermon series. But, I will point out that the couple of posts on Christian rudeness that I just finished doing have led me to do my Lenten sermon series on practical Church behaviors. What do I mean? Well, that post on the other blog is now […]
