Millions worldwide tuned into the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey on Saturday. The full name of Westminster Abbey, where kings and queens of England have been crowned since 1066, is the Collegiate Church of St. Peters at Westminster. When St. Paul’s Cathedral was built in the 1600s, they ran out of funds. […]

May 2023 marks an important historical milestone. 75 years ago, in May 1948, the modern nation of Israel was born. After having been scattered virtually around the world, Jews from around the earth were able to return to their homeland and create the modern state of Israel. Much of the land they came to was […]

[This is a photograph by Jerry Newcombe in NYC of the actual Bible that George Washington used when he was sworn in as the first president of the U.S. under the Constitution, April 30, 1789] The left seems to delight in chipping away at our nation’s Judeo-Christian foundation. A recent example occurred when President Biden’s […]

Every day that goes by we are seeing an America we don’t recognize. But is there a point where it could go too far? Of course. Nowhere is it prophesied that America will last forever. In Fiddler on the Roof, Reb Tevya, the patriarch of a devout Jewish family, is severely tested when one of […]

Death and mayhem and bad news are nearly all we hear these days, or so it seems. It’s easy to lose hope. An acquaintance emailed me recently: “I am completely broken by witnessing my beloved America commit suicide right before my eyes; it is painful to watch, as an old man who remembers her when […]

George Washington said our nation was born because of a series of miracles. He said as a nation, we must be grateful to God because of that string of Providential events. Recently I met a man who is a “walking miracle.” A survivor of a horrible accident, 55-year-old Danny Yamashiro, a pastor’s son and native […]

Well, it’s that time of year again, when many of us consider turning over a new leaf. Losing that extra weight, reading the Bible more, being kinder and gentler. Here’s a worthwhile New Year’s Resolution. In 2023, I resolve to be….more grateful. I resolve to make thanksgiving a year-round proposition. Ingratitude is deep in our […]

Two years ago a doctoral student in “religious studies” at a major public university in California was asked what he would do if he had a time machine. He answered that he would “assassinate Jesus of Nazareth.” Somehow, in his thinking, the world would be better off without Jesus and the movement He has spawned. […]

  Some past presidents have made interesting Christmas observations worth sharing. I acknowledge my thanks to author/speaker Bill Federer and his book, America’s God and Country, which has been quoted by the Supreme Court (Greece v. Galloway, 2014). When he was very young, George Washington wrote out the following Christmas poem in his own handwriting, apparently […]

On occasion after occasion, our nation’s first president consistently sought for Americans to obey God. This was true even before he became president. Here are three examples from him. Our first president George Washington was once asked by the Indian chiefs of Delaware if their sons could be taught by the American colonists. George Washington […]
