Abortion: Is it the worse sin?
Abortion is sin. There is no doubt about it. Just a few days after conception, the baby’s heart is pumping blood through its body. You can see fingers and toes forming, you can hear the heart beat. Yet, these babies are considered just a “mass of flesh” by the abortionists. “Scripture seems to teach that […]
Is murder OK as long as my taxes are lower?
I’m really surprised by some of the posts that I read, especially as we get closer to the elections. My biggest surprise is from those who are Christians who say that they are voting for President Obama (or any other Democratic candidate). My surprise is not because I think that President Obama (or any other Democratic) is a bad person. It’s not […]
Bible Versions & Death Threats
While trying to focus on preparing for class on Wednesday, within minutes of each other I read an e-mail from the National Association of Evangelicals and a post from the Voice of the Martyrs which stood in stark contrast and jarred me a bit. First, the e-mail from the NAE. It wasn’t a bad e-mail. […]

There’s little question that the Vice-President was disrespectful to Mr. Ryan throughout the debate, evidenced primarily by his laughter. Now, I’ve seen attorneys in court start to pack up their […]
Don’t Put Off Those Needed Repairs!
My wife and I have recently began repairing our barn to get it ready for our animals for when cold and snowy weather hits. We bought our place knowing that the barn was going to need a lot of repairs but I’ve been putting it off because it was going to be a lot of […]
What Does Easter Mean to You?
What do I think about when you mention Easter? Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs, the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter! Ask my youngest daughter and she’ll talk about the Easter egg hunt at church with those plastic eggs full of melted chocolate. My next youngest daughter is likely to say Spring Break is one […]
A Prayer of Benediction for Chaplain Dale Goetz
FT. JACKSON, SC (3 Sep 10) – Recently, the Chaplain Corps lost one of its finest chaplains, Chaplain (CPT) Dale Goetz, in Afghanistan. We received the news here at the Chaplain School while attending the Chaplain Captain’s Career Course. Since many of us knew Dale, and the rest of us felt the camaraderie of a “Brother […]
