This Time Mike Huckabee Got It Right

Politically speaking, there’s not much I agree with Mike Huckabee about. But with regard to the issue that got him kicked off the board of the Country Music Association Foundation, I can only applaud and say, this time Mike Huckabee got it right. Less than 24 hours after being appointed to the CMA Foundation board,… Read More »

Marco Rubio’s criticism of President Obama for speaking at a mosque is far from Christian

I am a Bible-believing Christian. As such, I believe that Islam is fundamentally and profoundly wrong in its theological teachings. But, because I am a Bible-believing Christian, I also believe that Americans must treat the Muslims among us with the same respect, dignity, and acceptance we want for ourselves. President Obama goes to a mosque… Read More »

Trey Gowdy Violated the Golden Rule in the Clinton Benghazi Hearing

Watching Rep. Trey Gowdy chair the Hillary Clinton Benghazi hearing left me wondering. What I saw and heard on television during that hearing, and what Mr. Gowdy has said on other occasions just didn’t seem to match up. I’m wondering where the disconnect is. Trey Gowdy is a Christian, a Southern Baptist. In June, speaking… Read More »

Defensive statements by Police Union hurt Police credibility

With its instantaneous response that race was not a factor in the McKinney, Texas debacle, the McKinney Fraternal Order of Police did a disservice to the credibility of defenders of the police. We’ve probably all seen the video out of McKinney, Texas – a white police officer verbally and physically abusing black teenagers at a… Read More »

He has been indicted for lying to federal authorities about cash withdrawals that were allegedly used as hush money in an attempt to hide sexual misconduct in his past. I’m not concerned… Read More »

Fewer Americans Identify as Christians – and that’s OK!

A new Pew Research study indicates that between 2007 and 2014 the number of adults in the United States who identify themselves as Christians dropped from 78.4 percent to 70.6 percent. By any measure that’s a significant decline! But what does it really mean about the state of the Christian faith in this country? If… Read More »

Atheist former Muslim: Christianity, Islam not equivalent

I just heard Ayaan Hirsi Ali speaking at a National Press Club luncheon. Although she is an atheist, her comparison between Islam on the one hand, and Christianity and Judaism on the other is uncompromising and uncommonly frank. Ayaan Hirsi Ali was born to a Muslim family in Somalia. She experienced the traditional Islamic practice… Read More »

Why Rudy Giuliani says President Obama doesn’t love America

I must admit to almost being floored by what Rudy Giuliani said at a recent Republican fund raiser: I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America. He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up… Read More »

Just because you did it doesn’t mean you’re guilty???

When I look at the message on attorney Larry L. Archie’s Greensboro, NC billboard, I have to wonder what was in the good lawyer’s mind. Is he making some deep philosophical point that I’m missing? Or does he mean exactly what his words seem to say? The message of the billboard seems to be that… Read More »
