Isn’t It Ironic?

Several years ago, a young lady by the name of Alanis Morissette sang a song called “Isn’t it Ironic?” A friend gave me a copy of a CD he and his band did with a cover of that song and it reminded me of how much that tune catches my attention.
In the lyrics she asks [...]

You Can’t Have it Both Ways . . .

According to Barack Obama this week, a) the economy is in the dump & b) we small town Americans (read Rednecks) are driven by desperate times to cling to our guns and our “religion.”
Using logic (maybe foreign to politicians) a + b should equal church attendance and religion is way up. Why then are we [...]

It’s 3 am, who will answer the phone?

On the 6 o’clock news this evening,  one segment of the political coverage d’ jour was of Hillary Clinton getting her street creds in Pennsylvania by hanging out in bars and slamming a shot of whiskey.

Words can [...]

Have you made anyone thirsty lately?
I’ve been thinking lately of Jesus’ challenge for His people to be salt & light. We all know what salt does. It adds spice, preserves, cleanses, etc. That is challenging enough, to be sure. But one of the most common effects of salt is that it causes thirst.
As Jesus issued that challenge to His followers, [...]

The Left’s Most Dangerous Preacher

Who is the most dangerous preacher from the “religious left?” Is it Jeremiah Wright? Louis Farrakhan? Maybe. However, I think it may be a much more familiar name. How about Oprah Winfrey?
 
“She’s not a preacher,” you may say. Well, she sure is proselytizing for New Age theology. Dangerous? Oprah? It’s easy for most Americans to [...]
