Sports Rivalries and Political Polarization When I was a teen in the late 1980s and early 1990s, nothing compared to the rivalry between the Chicago Bulls and the “Bad Boys” of the Detroit Pistons. Growing up in southwest Michigan—where Chicago and Detroit fans overlapped—meant that family gatherings often turned into heated debates. My mom’s side
While Americans were being trained to be germaphobes and were preoccupied with making sure their masks fit just right, Marxist Progressives silently implemented their long-held plan to create the largest shift in economic and political power America had ever seen. What ramped up after 9/11, and escalated after the government-created housing collapse in 2007, was
In much of Western Culture, there is a belief that if something is legal, it must be morally acceptable. Why do people think this way? In a previous post, I talked about how Friedrich Nietzsche shifted our cultural vocabulary away from speaking about morals (which are objective), to talking about “values,” (which are subjective).

Alabama’s Chief Justice, Roy Moore, is in the news again. A few weeks ago, a federal court in Mobile, AL ruled that that state’s ban on homosexual marriage was unconstitutional.

Since I wrote my last blog post “What is Wrong with Libertarianism?”, I’ve been called everything from a Theocrat, to a Globalist, to a Christian Fascist. It’s always lovely to see how nicely Christians can agree to disagree. 😉 Some folks have made some major false assumptions. Since I have dared to critique the Secular
For some time now, I’ve been wanting to write a post about what is wrong with Libertarianism from a Biblical worldview. First of all, it would be helpful for you to see visually, a basic graph revealing the current political spectrum. Most Christians who call themselves “Christian Libertarians” don’t really know much about the roots
In the recent news of the reported death of Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi, I was able to catch up with a couple of well-known Bible scholars to get their perspectives on this situation. First, King Solomon had this to say: “Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is
Ravi Zacharias has pointed out, and it is interesting to note, that it was Friedrich Nietzsche, the avowed Atheist and God-hater, who is responsible for the cultural shift in using the term “Values” instead of “Morals.” We hear about about “Family Values” or “Voter Values.” Really though, a “Value” is simply something that is important
