A British cleric created a stir recently by accusing Jesus of teaching something wrong. Jesus told us that when we pray, we should say, “Our Father…” But the Archbishop of York told his fellow clergymen: “I know the word ‘father’ is problematic for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive, and […]

There is a vital battle over education in our day. And if we lose it, we could ultimately lose the country. It would seem that the left views the idea of teaching children a love of country as an undesirable goal.  In the Federalist, Joy Pullman called attention recently to a critique from the left […]

Thanks to a misreading of the Constitution, America is becoming more and more of a secular wasteland. All sorts of ideas and ideologies are allowed in the public square. But not Christian ones. That exclusion does not comport with what the founders of America intended. I thank God for people like Kirk Cameron, the actor […]

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 […]
