Does God Choose Sides In War?
The pacifist streak in Christianity is strong, and with good reason. Jesus had all the power of God at His disposal, and yet chose death on a cross as opposed to using that power to prevent that death. That’s about as pacifist a move as…
WHO ARE WE ANYMORE?
After the Gulf War, America was proud to be American and that we had beaten back the bad guys. In the ensuing years we were treated to a number of movies that celebrated our military, its capabilities and the fact that America was on the side…
Saturday Round-Up
I had my left knee replaced this past Wednesday, and this one is hurting more than the right one I did back in August, so I am on more pain meds and find I do not have an essay in me. But I still have a stack o’stuff that we can go…

Who’s Antisemitic? – The Hugh Hewitt Show
The war proceeds apace, “The US and Israeli combined force has advanced to the next phase of their campaign….” According to a Senator on the show yesterday, we are not going to run out of weapons any time soon. Apparently that is just more…

The war yesterday consisted pretty much of Israel, notably, pounding Iran like a kid with a toy drum and Iran acting like Monty Python’s Black Knight. (reference for those too young to know.) “Good news,” I thought, then I read this: “Students…
