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…
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…
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.

“Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.” Proverbs 13:24). “Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol.” (Proverbs 23:13-14). Spanking is…

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…
Patrick Moore, one of the founders of Greenpeace International, said in an interview in the New Scientist in December 1999, “the environmental movement abandoned science and logic somewhere in the mid-1980s…political activists were using environmental rhetoric to cover up agendas that had more to do with class warfare and anti-corporatism than with actual science…” ((Environmental…
Science’s emphasis upon “observation” sometimes leads the average person to believe that scientists make all of their conclusions based upon what they actually see with their own eyes, and some scientists, who seek to make scientific observation the only or best way of knowing, speak in ways that clearly encourage that misunderstanding. Consequently, some scientist…
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…
The Scripture teaches that God is compassionate, “Nevertheless, in Your great compassion You did not make an end of them or forsake them, For You are a gracious and compassionate God.“(Nehemiah 9:31) He extols compassion and commands it in His people’s lives, “So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put…
