How many of you have heard of Curious George? Almost every night when my son goes to bed, he wants me to read the story of Curious George to him. Of course, it always starts out the same way: “This is George. He was a good little monkey. And always very curious.” And each story…

Race in America: Liberalism’s Attack on Minorities and the Church
We live in a world at war. A war that has been waging since Adam defied God and abandoned Eve to Satan’s deceit to get a taste of the forbidden fruit. Unfortunately, the church too often also falls for this deceit and retreats, unable to recognize the battles lines forming around us. Race in America:…
Best of the Best – Commentators
Occasionally I’ll provide my thoughts on the best of certain things. Today I’d like to talk about political commentators. When I say political commentators, I don’t just mean talking heads on Fox News and media outlets that talk about the news of the day. I also include in the category those who can bring a…
Today All Whites are Racists
In his “Dear White America” letter to The New York Times, Emory University Professor George Yancy wrote, “If you are white, and you are reading this letter, I ask that you don’t run to seek shelter from your own racism. Don’t hide from your responsibility. Rather, begin, right now, to practice being vulnerable.” He also…
Do You Pray? A Homily on Romans 10:1-13
This homily is adapted from J.C. Ryle’s A Call to Prayer: Do you pray? I ask whether you pray, because prayer is absolutely essential to a person’s salvation. Do not misunderstand me. I am not saying that you can do anything to earn your salvation. I am not saying that it is your prayers that…
The Oppression of Envy: A Homily on Ecclesiastes 4:1-4
This homily benefits greatly from the works of Peter Leithart and Daniel Doriani: Human life is rife with envy. Envy whispers in our ear about a neighbor who has slightly more than we do—a nicer car, more recognition, a prettier wife, more accomplished children. Envy wants to silence praise for others and grows angry when…
Eliminating Renewable Energy Subsidies is Key to Boosting Prosperity
Residential electricity prices have steadily increased for years, up more than 15 percent in the United States (not including Texas) since 2004. A newly released U.S. Department of Energy report on electricity markets and reliability makes it clear that renewable energy subsidies are contributing significantly to the increasing cost—and the decreasing reliability—of the national electric grid. Yet the report…
Martin’s King Tut is now Cultural Appropriation
One of the best skits ever produced by Saturday Night Live was Steve Martin’s rendition of the song, King Tut. It made fun of the commercialization of the nationwide King Tut phenomenon sparked by the “Treasures of Tutankhamen” exhibition that toured seven cities from 1976 to 1979, drawing about 8 million visitors. These days, however, the video is…
The Demolition President from Scott Adams
Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, put together a GREAT blog on what things President Trump has broken this year. Things, as Adams put it, “that probably needed to be broken.” Here’s a sample: GOP – Trump broke the GOP and reconstructed it along his terms, successfully it seems. DNC – The DNC has no charismatic leader, no…
Broken by Trump: ISIS
Watch the latest video at <a href=”http://www.foxnews.com”>foxnews.com</a> As Scott Adams points out, President Trump has broken a number of things “that probably needed to be broken.” One of those is ISIS. Fox News reports: ISIS has lost 98 percent of the territory it once held — with half of that terror group’s so-called “caliphate” having been recaptured…
