Vander Plaats: Fast and Loose With Reality?

Anytime I talk about Bob Vander Plaats, I feel like I have to clarify that I really like the guy overall.  Seems nice enough.  I’m with him philosophically on most everything outside of School Choice.  I also appreciate his zeal on the marriage issue.

However, I saw this video and it solidified my opinion [...]

The Historicity of Jesus: Ancient Jewish Sources

This is the second post regarding evidence of the historicity of Jesus.  My first post dealt with early secular sources.  This post will deal with early Jewish sources.  Many reliable references to Jesus have been found among Jewish works.  There have also been references that have later on been found to be unreliable.  [...]

Martin Luther King, Jr: I’ve Been to the Mountain Top

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s last speech delivered on April 3, 1968 in Memphis, TN.  His last speech was prophetic as he was assassinated the next day.

Here’s some video and transcript below of the ending of that famous speech.

Well, I don’t know what will happen now. [...]

The Historicity of Jesus: Early Secular Sources

Guy Incognito challenged my use of historical evidence of Christ’s existence in challenging in a general way a borrowed myths controversy.  He also said that, “if I have to have history back up your faith, then you need to work on strengthening your faith, not attempting shoddy history.”

I don’t reference history to [...]

Today marks the day when the Japanese Navy attacked the United States Navy Pacific Fleet docked at Pearl Harbor in 1941 which led to the United State declaring war on the Empire of Japan and Nazi Germany. Incidentally it is also my youngest daughter Lily’s birthday, she turned 10.

Washington’s Original proclamation reads:

The Faith of Our Founders

Just thought I’d share some quotes from some of our founding Fathers, these are from a booklet I received in church last Sunday called In God We Still Trust by Dr. Richard G. Lee.

Some of these I’m sure are familiar, like this well know quote from Patrick Henry (1736-1799), famous for [...]

Duty – Honor – Country

Today marks Veterans Day.  Originally known as Armistice Day when Germany signed an armistice with the Allies on November 11, 1918 ending the “Great War.”  Which was thought to be the war to end all wars.  We know now that certainly wasn’t the case.  Our soldiers, sailors and Marines have been called on [...]

And The Wall Came Down

President Ronald Reagan on June 12, 1987 gave an address in front of the Brandenberg Gate in West Berlin:

There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.

General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek [...]

Martin Luther: Here I Stand

Joseph Fiennes playing Martin Luther in the 2003 movie, Luther, reenacts the famous statement given to the Diet of Worms in 1520.

One of the most famous statements of the Reformation, and the boldness that it took when he faced possible death.  Yet he stood with Christ and stood against [...]
