Ask RC: Should Christians stay out of politics?
No, of course not. Does Jesus reign over all things? Is He king of kings? Are all things being brought under His subjection? Does He command us to disciple the nations? Indeed, yes, absolutely and yup. I find it hard … Continue reading

Just Desserts: Fighting Envy and Guilt Manipulation
We are all all too comfortable affirming we are due what we are in fact not due. We are prone to confusing wants and rights. Some argue that every employee is owed a “living wage.” Whence came, however, such an … Continue reading

Woman at the Well; Judging Repentants; Micah and More
Lisa and I conclude our conversation on the grace displayed in the account of Jesus and the woman at the well. I offer caution to those judging the nuances of the repentance of others, inspired by the G3 controversy. Micah … Continue reading

Hear O Israel: Always Enrolled in the School of Christ
It is not hard to complain about the government’s schools. The government seems less than satisfied with its own product, ever promising us that it will improve. Atheists complain about prayers before football games. Christians complain about the teaching of … Continue reading

A Portion of the Hole: In Heaven, and on Earth
I was evangelizing. Not, sadly, about the good news of Jesus, but the message of limited government. I explained that even Marx himself recognized that a free economy created a great deal of stuff. Productivity wasn’t the problem, according to … Continue reading

Blessed Are the Persecuted For My Name’s Sake

Our Gratitude and Our Shame in God’s Country
Every few weeks, on my podcast, posted right here every Wednesday, I do a segment called “That 70s Kid.” Therein I give myself free rein to wax nostalgic about those halcyon days. I might talk about the great cereals we … Continue reading

What is inflation? Another Case of Government Dishonesty
The economist Milton Friedman has said that his deepest regret was suggesting withholding to the Federal government. Time was that each of us used to have to write a check to pay our income taxes. That stings. When, however, someone … Continue reading
