    Restrooms and Target

    It amazes me that this conversation is as big as it is, but perhaps it may shed some light on where we are as a culture. There is a certain naivety that envelops us and causes us to see only what we want to see. On the one hand, there are mothers who desire safety…

  • Is American independence a thing of the past?

    When any holiday comes around, I try to reflect on the reason we celebrate that holiday. On July 2nd, 1776, representatives from the 13 colonies voted to declare their independence and two days later, on July 4th, the Declaration of Independence was signed. It is on this day that the 13 colonies formally cut their…

  • On Laws Given in Freedom

    God is a great God! In fact He is the only true, righteous and holy God. It is He who, when Israel was starving and without food, provided by sending Joseph to Egypt with the ability to interpret Pharaoh’s prophetic dream. It is He who fought for the survival of many in Egypt, and when…

  • Be We Free? (the first chapter)

    Human Desire for Freedom: Can Freedom Be Had?   Man is begat in bondage and there is nothing he can do to escape it. His desire for freedom outweighs his desire for life, yet he is trapped in life. He is a slave to governments and to perception and to morality and to circumstance and…

  • Coexist

                Coexist is a philosophy that places all worldviews on equal ground. It does not take a stand on what truth is, but declares that social cohesion is the key to reducing prejudice and ending violence across people groups around the world.[1] While I will not comment strictly on the coexist organization, I do wish…

  • Islamic Indoctrination in Public Schools?

                Yes, that’s right. According to the ACLJ, public schools are requiring students to think from the perspective of Islam.[1] While at first glance, we should be outraged. I want to take a moment and think through this. Firstly, the assignment is a middle-high school assignment, requiring students to write from the perspective of a…

  • Why does God not show His face?

                “I would believe in your God, if only He would show His face.” I remember speaking to an atheist friend of mine who, to put it lightly, is obviously and outspokenly skeptical that any deity exists at all. As far as he is concerned, there is no evidence that speaks in God’s favor and…

  • The Pilgrim’s Relevancy: Book V (Knowledge)

    On the other side of the library Christian saw a man, well dressed, sitting at a desk with several books opened in front of him. He appeared to be studying. Selfie noticed and spoke concerning the man, “He only stops reading to eat, and then he returns to his studies.” __________________________ Book IV    Book…

  • Is Jesus the Messiah? ( John 1:38-51)

                In 2013, there was an event held in which two atheist scholars posited that Jesus of Nazareth did not exist within history and that the entire Christian religion was a ruse designed by the Roman government in order to control the Jewish people. While this is a stretch concerning what we know of the…

  • Contemplating the Cosmos: The Martian Inquisition

    “Why so many eager speculation and ardent fantasies about Martians, rather than, say, Saturnians or Plutonians? Because Mars seems, at first glance, very Earth-like. It is the nearest planet whose surface we can see. There are polar ice caps, drifting white clouds, raging dust storms, seasonally changing patterns on its red surface, even a twenty-four-hour…
