The World and the Wind Scatter. Christ Secures.
I. Introduction We’ve been studying the book of Galatians and the truth of how God loves us, to free us from our bondage to sin. So that no one may boast by works, our salvation is secure through faith alone, in Christ alone, by grace alone. And I also know we’re supposed to study Galatians … Continue reading True Freedom
Image via WikipediaWhen I was a child, I celebrated Halloween. I didn't care for the gory and gruesome stuff. I didn't even care for the scary stuff. I thought the costumes were fun, and I loved the candy. As an adult, I see more evil in the world thatn I'd like to admit. Today in … Continue reading Happy Halloween
I'm boycotting "Winter Holiday" again. If you want to celebrate some sort of pagan winter thingy, you just go right ahead. But if a retailer can't acknowledge that I'm celebrating Christmas, then I'm not going to shop there. I did this last year, too. Some changes from last year, though - Wal-Mart firmly has the … Continue reading Boycotting "Winter Holiday" Again
An administrator, Patricia Sonntag, at California State University, has banned Christmas.

As some of you know, I'm boycotting "Winter Holiday" again this year. I'm not even sure what that holiday is, but I'm pretty sure it's some sort of pagan / atheist thing. Whatever it is, I want none of it. For me, it's Christmas. And for many, it's Christmas. Why is so terrible to acknowledge … Continue reading More "Christmas," Less "Holiday"
"In all of this haste, all of this shopping, all of this worrying about budgets and finding the right thing for that difficult-to-shop-for friend, amidst the travel and houses full of family, the grumpy uncles and the weepy aunts, it’s hard to remember this time of year offers some beautiful opportunities."
Andrew Coulson at the Cato Institute has a question - why are we fighting over Intelligent Deisgn vs Evolution? Does it matter to one parent if another parent teaches their child about God? Supporters of the theory of human origins known as "intelligent design" want it taught alongside the theory of evolution. Opponents will do … Continue reading Intelligent Design in Public Schools
Coming back after the Christmas holidays, I've shocked by the news from Asia, where a tsunami has killed thousands - 22,000 at the last estimate I've seen. A huge, catastrophic number. Some of the pictures are personal - I vacationed once in Phuket, Thailand when my mom and sister came to visit me in Singapore. … Continue reading Tsunami Catastrophe
Eight Days till Christmas. Are you ready? Most of my family will be here for Christmas *SUNDAY* and I think I'm barely going to be ready in time. The rest of you lucky squirrels have another week to get ready. I've been occupied and forgetful, and I'm going to get all caught up in a … Continue reading These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Peggy Noonan has a great article about how the faith and politics today. It's too bad she only writes on Thursdays. The first example she had was when reporters questioned President Bush's speechwriter, Michael Gerson. The reporters wanted to know when the president refers to his "belief" whether he is speaking in "code" to evangelicals. … Continue reading As Long as Democrats Think That, Republicans Will Win
As a follow-up to yesterday's "Boycotting 'Winter Holidays,'" Michelle Malkin describes this as a "persecution." She's starting a "Lump of Coal" campaign for Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper for eliminating all references to Christmas: Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper recently announced that next year the phrase "Merry Christmas" will be removed from the city building and replaced … Continue reading Lump of Coal Campaign
Yep, I'm boycotting "Winter Holidays" as a completely useless and meaningless psuedo-pagan holiday. I'm celebrating Christmas. The birth of Christ, a reminder He came to die for our sins, the loving and giving we share with each other as we remember the loving and giving Jesus gave to us. I'll happily pile on the odd … Continue reading Boycotting "Winter Holidays"
