When Pigs Fly

Posted on November 17, 2023 by RC

Legend has it that as the Constitutional Convention adjourned that a woman questioned Benjamin Franklin, “Sir, what kind of government have you given us?” The old curmudgeon quipped, “A republic, if you can keep it.” It is not a good … Continue reading →

Habits of the Heart

Posted on November 9, 2023 by RC

The Axis of Evil

Posted on November 7, 2023 by RC

It is my habit to challenge my brothers and sisters who spend time and energy denouncing this form of abortion, that reason for abortion, or the other context for abortion. The problem with late term or partial birth abortions isn’t … Continue reading →

What’s our biggest weakness in understanding the Bible?

Posted on November 6, 2023 by RC

Logic, or a lack thereof. There are plenty of other weaknesses we have. We not only don’t come to the Bible as first century Jews but we do come as twenty-first century Americans. We are largely ignorant of the geography, … Continue reading →

Buckle Up

Posted on November 2, 2023 by RC

Blood in the Streets

Posted on October 20, 2023 by RC

How are we to think about Gaza and Israel?

Posted on October 16, 2023 by RC

From virtually every angle our thinking on more recent events, and everything leading from the Balfour Declaration to them is enmeshed with confusion and emotion. In this country we have many who seem to believe Israel can do no wrong … Continue reading →

The Unbearable Oughtness of Being Or, Postmodern Pharisees

Posted on October 10, 2023 by RC

The appeal of ethical relativism is rather plain to see. If there is no right and wrong then I can’t be convicted of any wrong. Ethical relativism allows me to write my own law, to edit on the fly, to … Continue reading →
