It seems that virtually every week that goes by, there is an attack on our national patriotism in one way or another. In the historic town of Winchester, Virginia, (not far from Harpers Ferry, WV), the town council has decided the Pledge of Allegiance is not needed for their regular meetings. The Daily Caller writes, […]

In February 1777, Thomas Jefferson helped establish an evangelical church. What? Yes, that Thomas Jefferson. It was called the Calvinisitical Reformed Church of Charlottesville. And it met in the local courthouse. Why, that’s enough to give the ACLU apoplexy. This was less than a year after he wrote the first draft of the Declaration of […]

Minnesota is a Sanctuary State, meaning that illegal aliens can flaunt our immigration laws, even though every nation has to have borders to remain a nation. But as we all know, there was no sanctuary for those in the sanctuary of Cities Church in St. Paul a couple of weeks ago. Just last week, Don […]

A recent historian said that a line from the Declaration of Independence is the most important sentence in history. Well, certainly that sentence is exceedingly important, but I agree with those who counter-argue, “No, actually John 3:16 is the most important sentence in history.” Meanwhile, the great statement in the Declaration is: “We hold these […]

[Pictured: John Adams, 2nd president]   One of the good guys in the battle for celebrating America at 250 is PragerU, founded by the Jewish scholar and author Dennis Prager. But a state senator from Omaha, Nebraska, might not agree. Last week, Michaela Cavanaugh, upset at seeing historical displays outside her office at the State […]

[Image of Samuel Adams] Here we are at the very outset of the year in which America celebrates its 250th birthday on July 4th. There’s a man who played a pivotal role in that birthday, but most Americans seem unaware of his immense contributions. Samuel Adams is perhaps the most overlooked of our founding fathers. […]

They’re killing Christians in other countries, often with impunity. And many Christians in America seem either ignorant or apathetic about it. Perhaps many of us fail to act because  we are not sure how we can help. But religious freedom is exceedingly important. America began because of anti-Christian persecution. Many of the original colonies were […]

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 […]

We are in the 250th year of America. Of course, on July 4, 2026 we will celebrate the birth of the nation, because two-and-a-half centuries earlier to the day, 56 men in the 2nd Continental Congress in Philadelphia unanimously agreed by voice vote to accept the final wording of the Declaration of Independence. Our nation’s […]

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 […]
