Thank God that the United States declared independence from England two-and-a-half-centuries ago and dependence upon the Lord at the same time. Great Britain, which was a prime mover toward human progress in many ways, seems to be going through a period of jettisoning its former greatness—one move at a time. On the chopping block? Trial […]

I heard a very moving talk from a rape victim this past weekend, which I’ll share in a moment. And what she said reminds me of the reason why abortion has gained such a stranglehold in America. Rape is a horrible and violent crime. Interestingly, the allegation of rape is part of the reason America […]

 As everyone knows, many took to the streets in various American cities this last Saturday to protest President Trump and his policies. The theme was “No Kings,” as if Donald J. Trump were the king of America. Far from it. As Speaker of the House Mike Johnson noted, “If President Trump was a king, the […]

Is the U.S. Constitution worth preserving? Of course it is. Is it worth defending, even at the cost of life and limb? Of course it is. Is it worth distributing to young and old, including in our schools? Of course it is. Well, actually, not everybody agrees with that last part. Here is a two-year-old […]

Did the founders of America intend for God to be banished from the public arena? The idea occurs so regularly in modern times that we tend to think it’s what the founders wanted. For example, recently, a law allowing the posting of the Ten Commandments in Louisiana schools has been blocked as unconstitutional (for the […]

We are often given the impression that the founding fathers intended a “strict separation of church and state” with no religious references allowed in the government. But in reality, on June 28, 1787, during an impasse at the Constitutional Convention, one of the least orthodox of the founding fathers—Dr. Ben Franklin—called on the convention to […]

The founding fathers aimed to ensure our liberty under law, in conformity with the “laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.” Natural law refers to the moral law the Creator has impressed upon the world. For example, Samuel Adams once wrote: “Thou shall do no injury to thy neighbor, is the voice of nature and […]

Some skeptics today like to argue that the founding fathers purposefully left God out of the Constitution. They say that a “Godless Constitution” was the intended design of the document—and they’re wrong. First of all, the authors of the Constitution not only mention God, they even mention that Jesus is God. They do this in […]

Some modern Americans claim to not fear death. On November 15 last year, boxer Mike Tyson told a 14-year-old girl interviewing him that he has no fear of what happens after he dies. When he was asked about his legacy after his death, Tyson told her: “It means absolutely nothing to me. I’m just passing […]

There’s a battle right now related to religion and Oklahoma schools. Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters is in favor of greater religious expression in the public schools of that state. Others in the “The Sooner State,” including the state attorney general and some confused clergy, oppose what Walters is attempting to do. Walters wants school children […]
