Think About IT: Euthanasia, Is It Merciful?

By Ronnie W. Rogers / February 2, 2010 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Euthanasia, Is It Merciful?

Euthanasic death is always promoted as an act of mercy. However, it appears at times to be an act of mercy for someone other than the patient. This was the case with Terri Schiavo, who had to be starved to death in order for her to die; a person who also had family who said…

Think About IT! Global Warming: Do Scientists Agree?

By Ronnie W. Rogers / January 4, 2010 / Comments Off on Think About IT! Global Warming: Do Scientists Agree?

Ask just about any person living in the U.S. if they are certain about anything, and they will more than likely say, yeah, Global Warming. They know that if scientists say it, well it must be true. Umh! Well, do all scientists agree? Is there a consensus? Is man-made global warming certain? Not according to…

Think About IT: Christmas, to Celebrate or Not to Celebrate – That Is the Question

By Ronnie W. Rogers / December 21, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Christmas, to Celebrate or Not to Celebrate – That Is the Question

According to the Associated Press, Gallup polls from 1994 to 2005 consistently show that more than 90 percent of adults say they celebrate Christmas, including 84 percent of non-Christians. Some Christians–as well as secularists, Muslims, Hindus, etc.–believe that Christians should not celebrate Christmas because the Bible does not command us to celebrate Christ’s birth, it…

Think About IT: Christian Stewardship of the Environment

By Ronnie W. Rogers / December 14, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Christian Stewardship of the Environment

God created man and placed him over the natural world, which includes the earth, the fruit of the earth, and the animal kingdom (Genesis 1:26, 2:1-18). This vision clearly places man over nature and signifies that he is more important than the natural world, as well as allowing him to enjoy and profit from its…

Think About IT: No Need to Invoke God to Have a Moral Society

By Ronnie W. Rogers / December 8, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: No Need to Invoke God to Have a Moral Society

In a televised debate with Alan Keyes, Alan Dershowitz argued that he did not believe in God, while maintaining that people who do not believe in God can establish and do what is right, and there is no need to invoke God for us to be a moral society. He said repeatedly in one form…

Think About IT: Al Gore is Wrong about Global Warming!

By Ronnie W. Rogers / November 30, 2009 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Al Gore is Wrong about Global Warming!

Did you know, “…that the British High Court ruled in a lawsuit that Al Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, “is scientifically flawed and has nine significant exaggerations and factual errors.” Among those exaggerations are the claims that sea levels could rise 20 feet by the end of the century, and that polar bears are disappearing…

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

Those of you who know me know that I am deeply concerned about not only false teaching, but particularly the shallow insubstantial teaching of the Scripture in a growing number of our evangelical churches. This leaves this generation of Christians un-equipped and the next generation with very little knowledge of the Christian faith to not…

Think About It: Hitler’s Use of Race for Political Goals

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

Hitler’s animosity and inhumane atrocities against the Jews are well known. His venom against them and his plan to use his own oratorical abilities to exploit them in order to resurrect Germany is a theme running though Mein Kampf. However, one should never forget how effective his devilish, albeit intellectually doltish, scheme was. Moreover, there…

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. For in abortion, the strong summarily dismiss the lives of the preborn through methods that betray a narcissistic primal barbarism.…
