    What is Heaven Like.

    I got a really bad diagnosis from an oncologist, he is talking a year. Now I've been a Christian since my teens, so death is a one way ticket home when you think about it. So I started thinking about something I really had not thought of before. What is heaven like? Harps, clouds, angels, loved...

    New Antiabortion Laws and the Federal Court

    A federal judge who struck down Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban last year is hearing arguments about a new law that puts the ban even earlier. The law would prohibit most abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, at about six weeks, when many women may not know they’re pregnant...

    Unfashionable Convictions

    While I believe in old school Protestant Reformation theology, I have some rather off the beaten path ideas.

    Creation, the Origin of Life and the Gospel

    Let's start off with an exposition. In Gen. 1 we have the description of creation week. God ‘created’ (H1254 בָּרָא bara'), the word translated ‘created’ is used once of the origin of the universe (Gen. 1:1), once in regards to life in general (Gen. 1:21) and three times to speak of the origin...

    Weirdest Origins Theory Ever

    Louis Farrakhan recently claimed to be Jesus, no big deal, he can claim to be the Easter Bunny for all I care. In a recent conversation I learned that his sect of Islam (if they really are Muslim) believes something rather strange about the white race: Elijah Muhammad also asserted that some of...

    Romans 6: You will be a slave to sin or righteousness

    I've actually spent a great deal of time on the book of Romans, but there is a section in the chapter that is of special interest. Anytime I look at a translation I haven't seen before, I look up this verse: By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer...

    Construction of the Mexico-US Boarder Wall. What is the Building Schedule?

    Perhaps there is someone on here who is following the progress of Trump's signature promise of a wall along the boarder. We know he has over a billion dollars requisitioned from the Congress and apparently by declaring it an emergency he can free up billions more. What I'm starting to wonder is...

    Illegal Immigration Could Hit Historic High

    I happened to catch U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Kevin McAleenan, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on human smuggling at the U.S.-Mexico border. He made this startling statement: CBP had apprehended more than 76,000 migrants as they crossed the southern...

    Armageddon: Who are the kings of the east?

    Now don't go looking it up, that's cheating. All direction in the prophets is from Jerusalem. So who would be the kings of the east?

    HR 1: House Democrats officially unveil their first bill

    Of course, McConnell is going to block it: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell already bluntly stated, “That’s not going to go anywhere.” (Democrats will take up voting rights, campaign finance reform, and a lobbying crackdown — all in their first bill of the year. Vox) No it won't get...
