Can’t We Bomb the World into Peace?
I’ve recently seen a lot of Christians posting on FB a quote from a Michael Franti song from about 20 years ago: “We can bomb the world to pieces; But we can’t bomb it into peace.” When you first read it, you want to raise your fist and yell, “Hell, yeah!” or at least that’s […]
How Can You Be a Christian and Vote for…
I wasn’t able to vote in our national election this year, due to an unexpected death of a family member which required my being out-of-town on election day, too late to get in on absentee or early voting. But to listen to some of my Christian friends on FB, it’s a good thing I didn’t. […]

Worse yet, political under the guise of […]
There’s Only One Hope
Everybody seems to have something to say about the recent death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the resulting riots there and in other cities around the country but something that even many of the most righteous church people seem to be neglecting is the spiritual aspect of all of this. . It’s easy to […]
The Sting of Not Being Promoted
I recently had to avoid Facebook for a while because it was just too painful to be there. Not because of the waste of time that is inherent to Facebook or the idiocy that so many people display in their posts and comments but because, at least in my military chaplain circles, there were too […]
