Our Bread and Circuses: At Ease In Babylon
While Christians martyred under the Roman empire died for their faith, I fear they didn’t die for our faith. First, we must understand what Rome had against these saints. Part of the genius of the Roman empire was their “broad-mindedness.” … Continue reading

Enemy of the State: Fighting Rivals to His Throne
It was a true reflection of my own convictions, and my calling as a teacher. I was about 17; my niece was 3. We were sitting together at our local church, listening to the sermon. I know she was listening … Continue reading
