The Greenville Presidential Debate

Herman Cain Steps Up Herman Cain is a breath of fresh air. Like Donald Trump, he is plainspoken and an outsider to politics who brings a new face to a Republican presidential line-up that desperately needs a shakeup. Unlike Donald Trump, he does not appear to be puffed up and infatuated with himself, but rather…

The Budget Showdown over Planned Parenthood De-funding

The Republican Party and Abortion Let’s face it. The Republican Party leadership, and quite a few of its rank and file, is not up for the fight against abortion. They may be strongly pro-life in word, but in deed they are fearful and unprepared when any real fight over abortion erupts. At the eleventh hour…

Why do we Fast?

“The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.” Luke 5:35 I encourage you to join us tomorrow, Wednesday, in a day of corporate fasting. If you are able, make it a water only fast. I also encourage you to sign-up and if possible,…

President Obama, the War Powers Act, and Congressional Censure

With the announcement that the US will pull its attack planes out of the no-fly zone coalition in Libya, President Obama has cemented the impression that his policy regarding Libya is erratic and ill thought out. It is understandable that Congressional leaders find this troubling, odd, and even unnerving, and no doubt the citizenry is…

Presidential Imperialism in Making War

Here are two simple statements. First, the military of the United States exists to defend the nation. Other than combat operations in Afghanistan following 9-11, a lot of people seem to have lost sight of that basic fact over the past generation. Second, Congress has the Constitutional role to declare war. In my 50 years…

President Obama’s Policy in Egypt and Libya

As political turmoil continues to spread in Muslim countries, it is clear that American foreign policy is also in turmoil. President Obama wants to lead and follow at the same time, leading by his words, but following by his actions. This is causing confusion around the world that watches America so closely. This confusion is…

Hope for Healing in America

Wednesday, March 16, was our first day of corporate fasting and prayer for America. That evening after returning from a prayer meeting at church, I read an email from the Family Research Council on the subject of prayer and fasting. This email noted historical days of fasting and prayer that were called for in the…

Is There A Cause?

All over the Middle East, people are taking to the streets for the cause of freedom. They are praying, speaking, rallying, and marching. And in some cases they are fighting and being killed for the cause. It is a revolution of historical proportions. Clearly, people believe in the cause and have stepped out of their…

Progressing Towards Sodom

President Obama’s instruction to his attorney general, Eric Holder, not to defend the Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA) is notable, but not surprising. After all, this President and his party just overturned the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in December, opening the door for homosexuals to serve openly in the military. Next up on…

President Obama’s Language of “Savings”

chart

President Obama’s claim that he will cut $1.1 trillion dollars from the deficit over the next decade is political sophistry at best (sophistry: a plausible but misleading or fallacious argument), outright deception at worst. Why? Well, the inconvenient truth is that his policies will increase the national debt by about $1 trillion per year over…
