Room 101
There is a simple enough test to see if someone has actually read George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. All you have to do is utter the words “Room 101” and look to see if the person shudders. Those who have merely … Continue reading

Death and Taxes
You have heard it say, “Taxation is theft.” You have also heard it said, “Jesus approves of taxes.” I say to you that both of these are partly true and partly false, and it is important that we get it … Continue reading

Living in Our Fears
It is our fears that reveal to us our treasures, and the shape of the idols of our hearts. And the devil likes nothing more than to prey upon those fears, even through the medium of our purported friends. I … Continue reading

How did we get in this mess?
What if I told you that on September 12, 2001 terrorists in the United States killed 3000 people, and the story didn’t even make the news? What if I told you that on January 7th terrorists killed 2500 people in … Continue reading

A Ratio Hornblower- Meeting Franco’s Friends
Last week I published a brief piece (here) that argued that making a nation Christian is a good thing, while trying to make nationalism Christian was a fool’s errand. Simply put, we as a nation become more Christian the more … Continue reading
