We have all heard the claim in our society that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. It is true that there are a lot of poor people in the world. Jesus told us that the poor would always be with us (Mark 14:7). However, capitalism, where individuals own the means of production (and not the government) has caused more people to emerge from poverty than any time in history.
THE HOLOCAUST AND NATURAL LAW Another state has recently passed legislation to teach about the holocaust. The Nazis killed around 20 million people during World War II as part of their murderous campaign against those who they saw as unwanted. Not even children or women were spared. At least 6 million of these people were […]
Before looking at the evidence, I was skeptical about the resurrection of Jesus. Although I was raised as a Roman Catholic, there were many doubts in my mind about the veracity of the reports in the Bible.

by Bernard James Mauser This is a great question. The above quote, spuriously attributed to the founder of the Franciscans, captures the sentiment believed in many Christian circles. Bad theology and our own insecurities help to bolster the idea that we shouldn’t judge, push our faith on others, or share the gospel using words. I’ve […]
Here is my presentation on Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus.
By Donald Robert McConnell, J.D. The current Insurgency in our cities has started to make more people aware of the greater crisis in education. With a handful of exceptions our colleges and Universities have become political indoctrination and revolutionary training centers spreading neo-Marxist and radically post-modern ideology to the malleable, and failing to provide true […]
It is popular to hear in Christian circles that all sin is equal in God’s eyes. Mass murder or genocide is just as bad as telling a lie. God doesn’t really make a distinction and neither should we. This line of thinking does not quite reflect what the Scripture says. If not, where are people […]
President Trump is being criticized for hoping the great quarantine can end by Easter. People are saying lives are more important than money. It is true that lives are more important than money. But this criticism shows a lack of understanding about economics. The question of when to end the quarantine is really a question […]
