One Of “Those” Lessons
The Sermon On The Mount – as preached by Jesus in Matthew 5-7 – is one of those passages of scripture, often cited, but rarely explored in depth. It is quite long and contains parts everybody loves (the Beatitudes) and warnings no…
Hold Firmly To That Which Is Good
The title quotes 1 Thessalonians 5:21, but it seems so apt after Thursday’s show. That show featured interviews and clips of remarkable depth and insight. Let’s examine. Firstly, the host during the second hour played, twice, a clip of Justice…
Don’t Send Your Kids To College (or L.A.)
The addendum to yesterday’s post where I linked to an article about how low quality of life ratings for L.A. County have gotten has me on a slow burn for the last 24. The excuse making is extraordinary and indicative of just how low the…
Does California Have A Bottom?

War Returns – How To Pray
Negotiations failed. No surprise there. The war will undoubtedly resume shortly. And we’re all headed to church. How do we pray about this? There is a very famous scene in the movie “Patton” in which the general asks the chaplain to pray for…
The Abysmal Ignorance Of The Average American Newsreader
Artemis II returned home last evening. It was pinpoint perfection – a fact noted, but unappreciated, by the media. As with the launch I tried, desperately, to watch network coverage. I tried them all, but in both cases I quickly found myself…
A Time For Choosing – The Hugh Hewitt Show
We are in a post-Christian era, no doubt. But in recent years the church has moved from simply being viewed as irrelevant to being viewed as dangerous and has come under active attack. I wrote about it Tuesday and again yesterday. In both…
