Is it a sin to be wealthy? Prosperity and Providence

Posted on February 23, 2026 by RC

Learning from the Master, Not From Our “Masters”

Posted on February 20, 2026 by RC

Digital Directions: Caught in the Cattle Chute

Posted on February 5, 2026 by RC

I’m not a fan of Disney parks. And not because of increasing woke messaging. I didn’t care for them back when they really were family friendly. The message was fine. The method was not. That is, what I don’t like … Continue reading →

Would a Man Rob God? Would a Government Do the Same?

Posted on November 28, 2025 by RC

What’s Wrong with Digital ID? With a Side of CBDC

Posted on October 20, 2025 by RC

The claim is a bit of clichĂ© but like most cliches, it became one because there’s truth in it. You have heard it said, “Technology is not good or bad. It depends on how it’s used.” While I think too … Continue reading →

Is the Trump administration assaulting free speech?

Posted on September 22, 2025 by RC
