Why exactly do I need people to tell me to vote, when to vote, and who to vote for? I don’t want your fingernail files, lip gloss, buttons, signs, and handbills. Oh, you insist? Then perhaps I should vote for the candidate who gives me the most crap. If your recorded message called my phone [...]
…do the right thing? The hard thing? Lead? Will someone please run for president who will make the difficult decisions that don’t end up profiting some financial punks but will benefit our grandchildren? This is going to end up crippling our nation and enslaving us to the nation that buys us on the auction block…just [...]
You will never watch a more alarming documentary than this 30-minute clip. The USA needs radical fiscal responsibility beyond what any US president since the Civil War has proposed.

“Form Follows Function” Philippians 2:5-11 a sermon preached March 28, 2010 One of my favorite characters in a novel or movie is Howard Roark of Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead.

“Where Have You Been?” James 3:1-12 September 13, 2009 Homecoming Sunday Mark Twain once said that “it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” He probably shouldn’t have said that since it very likely offended someone. It is so easy to say [...]

A Character Study of Solomon The story of Solomon in 1 Kings begins with his brother Adonijah deciding to be king of Israel (1Kin 1:5). In Eli-like manner, King David never criticizes Adonijah which must have affirmed and intensified his craving for the throne. He had the king’s general, Joab, on his side. To seal [...]
