In his January 6 speech at Valley Forge, President Biden called Donald Trump and his followers despicable and existential threats to democracy.  Accordingly, on the ground of a bad interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, states are attempting to remove Donald Trump from primary elections over the activities of January 6, 2020 in DC as insurrection, […]

A horribly neglected element of Christ’s glory and honor in modern Christianity is His Lordship and Kingship. Yes, we often sing Jesus is Lord, even Lord of all. But what does this mean to those who sing it? Does it have merely personal application? Attending a particular church service, though typical in reality, the pastor […]

Chastening or Judgment? Our present societal condition appears part of God’s judgment or chastening on a sinful and rebellious people. Abortion, is the most egregious, yet it is but symptomatic of the entire humanistic mess our society has become. We Christians by our lack of wise and skillful participation created the demons we now see. […]

These three terms are among the most maligned, slandered, and libeled in recent history. Google any of these terms and you will find ten-or-more-to-one blogs against the Biblical thought and historic Christian purpose these terms represent.  The really sad thing is that the antis are just as likely to be written by ostensibly Biblical Christians […]

Human instinct desires to take a side in any controversy. This tendency is a result of the original sin, where each of us thinks more highly of ourselves than we ought (Genesis 3:4-6; Romans 12:3). We substitute for Biblical reasoning, always in a tension that seems illogical to us, for our own opinions. For example, […]

The current invasion of Ukraine by Russia raises questions of right and wrong. Most pundits have sided with Ukraine over Russia’s aggressive war. Some believe that Vladimir Putin has a just cause. This essay consisting of excerpts from my Nordskog Publishing title Thy Will Be Done: When All Nations Call God Blessed addresses the underlying […]

On the Legitimacy of Constitutions and Legislatures, in response to a theological movement to abolish national covenants and constitutions, and the U.S. Constitution in particular God granted men the ability to covenant, to form communities upon mutual agreement, such as marriage. Legislatures, properly speaking, thus establish the rules of covenantal association, mutual understanding of Scripture. […]

While certainly legitimate street protesters are out there, the organized mainstream are rioters, bent on destruction. The evidence is overwhelming. Many are, as I was back in my own pagan days, stirred up by the agitating of the political moment after having been prepared for it by my schooling.  I liken the riotous character we […]

When we declare for the American democracy, we have already lost. Our founders considered democracies dangerous and self-destructive. Instead as Benjamin Franklin is supposed to have answered a lady who asked after the Constitutional Convention if we had a democracy or a republic, “A Republic, if you can keep it.” It was an inspiration from […]

While certainly legitimate street protesters are out there, the organized mainstream are rioters, bent on destruction. The evidence is overwhelming. The rest are those, like I was back in my own pagan days, stirred up by the agitating of the political movement.  I liken the riotous character we see on the streets to the first […]

I pray that the coronavirus troubles the world now experiences may result in massive repentance worldwide and a great revival.  God powerfully interjects Himself in supernatural ways when things are bad among men—typically in natural disasters or great miracles. When men conduct ourselves responsibly before God, heeding His Word, He generally blesses, or Providentially resists […]
