Memorial Day marks the time we remember those who have fallen in service of our country. It’s wonderful that many Americans take time out to honor those who died that we might be free. One aspect of military service that is often neglected these days is the multitude of official prayers and acknowledgements of God […]

The Constitution begins “We the people,” not “we the judges.” Lately, there has been a tussle between activist judges and President Trump. Some critics argue that some of these judges are acting as if they were the ones elected to the Oval office. FoxNews reports on the issue of “whether a lower court can properly […]

Imagine a birthday cake so large that it has 250 candles on it. Such could be the case on July 4th next year, when America will celebrate two and a half centuries of our national independence. Just last week President Trump issued Executive Order 14180 to plan for that birthday. The order calls for a […]

With the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump (for the second time), we have once again celebrated another milestone in our history. It’s interesting to note that every one of our presidents has been sworn in on the Holy Bible and uttered the oath, “So help me God.” George Washington began the process and it […]

With a new year upon us, when we consider new goals for the next 12 months, here’s a worthy ambition to pursue—to get closer to Christ. That resolution would put you in the company of a good number of America’s founders. When the great founding father Patrick Henry was dying, in his last Will and […]

Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday. The prototype of Thanksgiving dates back to the Pilgrims who celebrated their first harvest in the New World in 1621 with their new friends, the Native-Americans.

If anyone says that the Judeo-Christian tradition had nothing to do with the founding of America, they need look no further than our annual holiday of Thanksgiving. As in, giving thanks to God for His help to us. Columnist Mark Steyn (originally from Canada) notes: “Speaking as a misfit unassimilated foreigner, I think of Thanksgiving […]

The elections have consumed so much of our energy as of late. Before we close the door on the 2024 elections, it’s good to consider some wisdom from our founding fathers and other noteworthy Americans on voting. I read a joke recently wherein a surgeon, an engineer, and a politician were arguing as to which […]

During trying times like these, with many storms upon us (literally and figuratively), no book provides greater comfort than the Bible. Yet how many actually read it? Although there are studies noting a drop of Bible-reading among Americans in recent times, nonetheless, 47 million are reported to be “Scripture engaged.” No other book would come […]

George Orwell wrote in his classic novel, 1984: “Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” So, there’s a battle over history. That battle continues in our day. A June 2024 survey of 3,000 college students dealt with basic knowledge of American history and government. Unfortunately, they found a […]
