Gay Marriage Isn’t

With President Obama now endorsing (at least for this week) the idea of gay marriage, it’s time to drive a stake through the heart of this beast.  First of all, to understand the inherent social danger in homosexuality, we must only take the beneficial act of homosexuality to its natural conclusion and see how society fairs.  To put it simply, if everyone were homosexual, humanity would cease to exist is in about eighty years Continue reading

No Foreign Aid

FOREIGN POLICY: PART TWO

Before beginning, I’d like to thank my few but faithful readers for hanging in there during my bloglessness of the past few weeks.  I was focusing on my first Easter as a senior pastor, and also working through a final critical edit of my book prior to publishing.  Thanks for your patience!

FOREIGN POLICY: PART ONE

Today we begin a two-article series on bringing some sanity back into the foreign policy equation with a look at the two most basic and sacred functions of a sovereign government.  In the second article we’ll deal with the objections such a remarkably simple plan will naturally engender from those long enslaved to the ideals of bad government.

The Theocracy Whiners

The recent storm of controversy surrounding Rick Santorum’s stand on the issue of the existence of evil brings to light an excellent opportunity to discuss the role that faith should or should not play in government.  With all of the hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth over this issue now taking place by the secularists and those of weak and nearly useless (liberal) faith, one would tend to think that by having merely mentioned Satan that Mr. Santorum was trying to impose a Christian version of the Islamic caliphate upon America Continue reading
