I love how the Lord cares about us so much that he warned us centuries ago in the Bible of things that were forthcoming so we could spiritually prepare ourselves. We find such warnings in 2 Peter 2 when Peter tells the church about false teachers to come and the types of practices or doctrines [...]

Playing both sides against the middle class
According to the popular cliche “If a dog bites you once, shame on the dog. If it bites you again, shame on you.” Well the dogs in Washington are trying to bite again with the back-and-forth over the President and Democrats trying to raise our debt ceiling. I have experienced a whole range of emotions [...]

The widow’s mite: a lesson on religious abuse
Anyone who has spent any amount of time in any Christian church is familiar with the story of Jesus’ commenting on a poor widow giving her last mite to the treasury of the Jewish temple.

More hot air on Capitol Hill about oil prices
Well, Congress is at it again. For the umpteenth time they’ve summoned the oil barons to appear before their committees to answer for the cost of gas and the record profits for the oil companies. From what I’ve seen and heard, it’s the same dog and pony show as always where the congressmen grill the [...]

Putin’s saber-rattling
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is proving more and more that once you are KGB, you’re always KGB in his latest spouting off against the U.S. Making arguments based on his paranoid antics, he has now made claims that the U.S. is out to invade Russia so we can get their natural resources. Therefore, he has no [...]

Balaam’s doctrine: even an ass knew he was wrong
The false prophet Balaam is one of the more prominent villains in the Bible. His desire to curse Israel was thwarted time after time when God used him to bless Israel instead. His name became a byword to both Old and New Testament saints to warn us about the type of mindset we should avoid. Moses [...]
