The attacks on the Southern history and culture are not new. These things happened before. But what I find, as I am studying the Scriptures and reading books such as Christ in the Camp by J Williams Jones, this is very much a Spiritual battle. The monuments and the men, or rather the character of the men…
Emergency Surgery
“Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases…” (Psalm 103:1-3). I woke up this past Lord’s Day (June 4) in a LOT of pain in my abdomen….
Last Man Standing
“Last Man Standing” is being cancelled from ABC, even though the hit comedy is very popular. While I don’t watch a lot of tv, I do enjoy the show. Tim Allen was always a favorite of mine growing up. (Who else remembers Home Improvement?). His show is one of the few with conservative values….
Stone That Cannot Be Moved.
“Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces….” (Daniel 2:34) I am awake this evening watching yet another monument being removed from New Orleans. Now, I just want to say that I have never…
Education: Does God Have An Opinion
I just finished reading Education: Does God Have an Opinion? by Israel Wayne, published by Master Books. The book is divided up into two parts. The first, he calls “The Apologetic,” in which he deals with establishing a truly Biblical philosophy of education. The second part, is what he calls “The Core Subjects,” is…
Teach Them Diligently Sandusky
Back in October, I wrote that I had never been to a homeschool convention. Well as of April 20, that has changed. My wife and I, along with our two oldest children went to the Teach Them Diligently Homeschool Convention, and wow what a great time it was! Two things we didn’t know (but figured…
NRA Life Membership
I am now a “life member” of the NRA. Some several years ago, I signed up for what they called “easy pay life” and sent $25 a quarter to them. I don’t always agree with the National Rifle Association, but I do figure it this way: If it weren’t for them, the right to…
Teach Them Diligently
I have never been to a homeschool convention, which I suppose is relatively odd. I am a homeschool graduate. My wife and I homeschool our kids (the oldest is 12). And we have friends who homeschool. We have friends who have gone to homeschool conventions! But we never have. Lord willing, that’s about to change. …
The Will of God
Here is a little something I copied from A.H. Strong’s Systematic Theology sometime ago, and thought I’d share it here. This was first published in 1907 but the words still ring true and I find his advice to be good: To Find God’s Will 1.Pray 2.Think. 3.Talk to wise people, but do not regard their…
Enemy Is At The Gate
Suppose someone were to break into your house tonight. Now also suppose the best weapon for defending your home and family (let’s say, your 12 gauge pump shotgun) is not available to you. Let’s just suppose maybe your brother had borrowed it the day before. And all you have available is a knife and a…
