During the American founding era, week after week, on Sunday mornings, the congregation members would arise and recite together The Apostles’ Creed, a historic statement of the Christian faith. Often it was written on the walls. Who participated regularly in such affirmation of their faith? George Washington, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and so […]

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 […]

An article in the Federalist caught my attention recently. It highlights some things in Alaska that are not required to be taught. Such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Christianity. In the Federalist, David Randall points out that political correctness not only infects the social studies standards in Alaska, but in many other states in the […]

If you have to resort to violence, you’ve lost the debate. The assassination of Charlie Kirk two weeks ago was a case in point. They couldn’t defeat him at debate, so they killed him. Charlie’s slogan, as seen on the white tent he was in when he was shot, says it all, “Prove me wrong.” […]

Last week, the shooter in Minneapolis of little children in a Catholic church-school during mass was discovered to have written on one of his weapons, “Where is your god [sic].” He used a picture of Jesus on his target in practice before the big day of shooting last Wednesday. And now the left says to […]

For example, recently, a law allowing the posting of the Ten Commandments in Louisiana schools has been blocked as unconstitutional (for the […]

Soon, another Fourth of July will be upon us. What do we celebrate on the Fourth of July? Of course, it’s America’s birthday—dating back to 1776. That’s when 56 men agreed by voice vote for the final wording of our nation’s birth certificate….the Declaration of Independence. A month later they began to sign it. Samuel […]

Did the hand of God have anything to do with the birth of America? There’s a great new movie that gives a resounding, “Yes,” and it’s called “The American Miracle.” It’s based on the best-selling book with the same title by Michael Medved, a popular radio show host, author, political commentator, and film critic. Medved […]

[Photo by Jerry Newcombe of the bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, where the Battle of Concord was fought on April 19, 1775] Quick question. How many towns or cities in America are named Lexington?
