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.

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.

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.

These days, however, the video is…
Mark Steyn on California’s Racist Trees
Multiculturism is leading to the dumbing down of America.

Mark Steyn is one of the two best political commentators in the English speaking world today. Here is an excerpt of his thoughts on the swamp’s victory in the Alabama Senate race yesterday: Roy Moore was the nominee only because the smart guys over-invested in Luther Strange (just as in 2015 they over-invested in Jeb…

Books with a Christian Worldview for Children, Young Adults, and the Young at Heart
I’ve read a lot of books to my son, William, over the years. In part because of his reading challenges, in part because there are some VERY good books out there for younger folks that I didn’t read but are still very edifying for me today, and in part because of what I have read…
