Love Thy Neighbor, Part 10: God Bless America

Social media is a funny thing.  You never know what’s going to come across your news feed.  The other day, a young Christian mom on my friends list shared a six-month-old post from a “Socialist Memes” site.  They, in turn,… Continue Reading →

Love Thy Neighbor, Part 9: Stand Fast in Freedom

When I was a kid, I went to a Christian school for three years.  I still remember one of the songs they taught us in chapel.  It was based on Galatians 5, and it was written around 1975.  I can’t… Continue Reading →

Let’s face it. The promise of socialism is appealing. I went to a potluck at a friend’s house recently.  (If we don’t eat, we don’t meet, right?  At least it seems like it sometimes.) Talk around the table soon turned… Continue Reading →

What’s Up with the D’s and R’s?
