Think About IT: The Paramount Importance of Educating Christians

By Ronnie W. Rogers / November 23, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: The Paramount Importance of Educating Christians

By Ronnie W. Rogers / November 18, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About It: Hitler’s Use of Race for Political Goals

Think About IT: What Was the Intent of the Founders Concerning Constitutional Change?

By Ronnie W. Rogers / November 11, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: What Was the Intent of the Founders Concerning Constitutional Change?

Intentionalists believe that the Constitution should be understood in the way it was understood by the Founders. Consequently, it is a fixed document with static meaning; therefore, it means today what it meant then. The only way one can properly interpret it is by studying the authorial intent of the signatories. In contrast, progressives believe…

Think About IT: The Barbaric Nature of Abortion

By Ronnie W. Rogers / November 5, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: The Barbaric Nature of Abortion

We like to consider ourselves a “civilized” and “humane” society, and I think that is true in many ways. However, the legalization and normalization of abortion reminds us of the darker side of our humanity.

Think About IT: Consumers Yes, but Producers Even More

By Ronnie W. Rogers / October 12, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Consumers Yes, but Producers Even More

The present rhetorical climate labels humans as “consumers”, which is true to a degree, but we are much more than just consumers. The value in such a label being used as the most apt for humans merely furthers the environmentalist’s agenda and miscasting of humans as intruders into an otherwise pristine universe. The formula goes…

Think About IT: Harvard Today and Yesterday

By Ronnie W. Rogers / September 30, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Harvard Today and Yesterday

Once a citadel of truth and training for Christian ministers, Harvard is today an enemy of the gospel and truth. Speaking at the 2002 fall convocation, Harvard President Lawrence Summers admitted that “things divine [had] been central neither to my professional nor to my personal life.” He then wondered out loud, “In what ways should…

By Ronnie W. Rogers / September 21, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Science Claims That Believing IS Seeing, REALLY?

Consequently, some scientist…

Think About IT: What If a Christian Said…

By Ronnie W. Rogers / September 16, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: What If a Christian Said…

The Bible speaks of an existence prior to the creation of time and matter in which God alone existed. Then, Genesis records God creating time and matter, in the words, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). That singularity was the beginning of time and matter. As Christians, we believe…
