In his book “A Preface to History,” Carl G. Gustavson uses the historical approach to study history. He feels to effectively study history it is necessary to develop a sense of historical mindedness. By developing this sense the student of history is able to look beyond the historical event itself and begin to see forces, patterns, causes […]
Not A Second Class Citizen
Sometimes, when I think about what heaven will be like, I have a tendency to think of myself as being kind of in the background. After all, there are so many great Christians that will be there. All who have done many greater things for Christ than I will ever do. I imagine Christ having […]
COVID-19 Is Not As Deadly As We’ve Been Led To Believe
Some want to call this COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak a disaster. Why? Is it because we’ve allowed the Main Stream Media (MSM) to control the narrative on this pandemic? Or is it because we’ve given over our rights to left-wing governors who have locked down their respective states? Or maybe it is because we get no true perspective from any […]
The Reason For The Season
Tomorrow we begin celebrating the second week of advent; the coming of Jesus into the world. We are called to take this time to better understand why Jesus came. Jesus came because he loved us. He knew he needed to make a sacrifice for our sin so that we could live forever — with Him! […]
The Wiles of Satan
Oregon is once again in lockdown. Which means a limit of 25 people (changed this week to 25% of capacity) are allowed in a church service. Our governor here in Oregon has called on citizens to turn in anyone they feel are violating her new COVID restrictions. For that reason, sadly, I feel I must […]
Do We Want a Nation Built on Love of Country or One Built on Hate.
The other day I was listening to a commentator explaining his thoughts on the difference between Biden supporters and Trump supporters. He commented that Trump supporters were, for the most part, extremely committed to their candidate. There was little he, or anyone else, could do to cause them to question their loyalty to him. Indeed […]
America Is Not Racist, part 10 – Fundamental Christian Values
Fundamental Christian Values The vast majority of what has been described as “whiteness” is nothing more than fundamental Biblical values. These values are not color based but character based. American values include family, community, education, and patriotism. According to commentator Elise Ehrhard, “Decisions that lie in personal responsibility know no race. Everyone in America has the […]
America Is Not Racist, part 9 – The Cancel Culture
The Cancel Culture In the new Cancel Culture, the progressives continually attempt to cancel our basic American culture of personal freedom, equality under the law, and free market capitalism in favor of big government authoritarian elitism. It is not just the icons and symbols (think destruction and tearing down of long standing statues) of our American […]
America Is Not Racist, part 8 – America’s Freedom Has Helped All Lives To Succeed
America’s Freedom Has Helped All Lives To Succeed Many whites are ashamed, saddened and feel guilty about our history of slavery, Jim Crow and gross racial discrimination. Many black people remain angry over the injustices of the past and what they see as injustices of the present. But both blacks and whites can benefit from a […]
America Is Not Racist, part 7 – The United States Was Not Birthed Out of Racism
The United States Was Not Birthed Out of Racism Contrary to the Left’s revisionist history, the United States was birthed not out of racism but rather out of a commitment to protecting that human trait we all share in common — our individuality. This is not by accident. God created us as individuals, with individual unique natural abilities […]
