I’ve been having a conversation with someone on my website. He claims that swear words are meaningless because the words are “arbitrary” and “they have no meaning,” but are just emotional expressions. I disagree, and by the end of a long conversation I was claiming that words have a lot of meaning, which is why […]

I always pay attention when people in the news (particularly politicians) attempt to use the Bible to suit their agendas. Many of us should actively evaluate whether they are using it properly (my experience: they hardly EVER use it properly). Today’s case in point: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) recently said, “Usury – aka high interest –
In 2001 my wife and I helped a young Russian woman come to the U.S. Driving into our community for the first time, she was shocked to see no bars on the house windows, no protective fences around homes, and no armed guards at the doorways of every place of business. It’s not like Russia,

FREEDOM OF SPEECH MUST ALSO BE CONSTRAINED BY RESPONSIBILITY “ ‘Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.’ That this Amendment was intended to secure to every citizen an absolute right to speak, or write, or print, whatever he might please without any responsibility, public or private, therefore, is
In Germany, leading up to the Nazi atrocities, the population kept allowing for encroachments on them that they knew were wrong because they were “small” enough not to make a fuss over.

We have seen it coming for decades, as the angry division between Americans has grown from student unrest to abortion wars, to a greater division between the have’s and have-nots, the reds and the blues, Black Lives Matter and the police, Islamic terrorists and everyone else, between races and between creeds. We are no longer
Tolerance can never be complete. There are always two sides. To tolerate one thing is to not tolerate another. If I tolerate free speech, I may also be tolerating hate speech or bigotry. If I tolerate a religion that kills animals, I may also be tolerating animal abuse. It’s impossible to tolerate all things and
The Church has for a long time taken the stand that any legitimate use of medical knowledge and technology is within the boundaries of what is allowable to Christians in pursuit of health and wellbeing. According to archaeologists, beer was a common beverage in the ancient world, including Israel. And we all know that Jesus

Whoever controls the terminology of culture controls the narrative. Whoever controls the narrative controls the ideology. We have seen many various entities work hard to redefine terms for their own purposes. For a long time, leaders have realized that the real war is with words, and that kingdoms rise and fall, populations are freed or
