The latest issue of Newsweek has an article titled, We Are All Socialists Now. It has a rather controversial theme which is captured in the following quote: The U.S. government has already-under a conservative Republican administration-effectively nationalized the banking and mortgage industries. That seems a stronger sign of socialism than $50 million for art. Whether […]
President Obama’s news conference yesterday
I decided to watch a good chunk of President Obama’s news conference yesterday. And I must say that it was nice to listen to a President that spoke in logical sentences and could be understood. It was also very nice that it was a long news conference and that each question was answered extensively. Of […]
The regulative principle
Steve Scott just pointed out to me a fallacy in the regulative principle. The comment was to a post that I wrote back on 10 January. What is the regulative principle? Well, just to remind you, the Westminster Confession of Faith says: The light of nature showeth that there is a God, who hath lordship […]
Malagueña Salerosa
Below is a video that plays a classical Mexican song. It was only written in the early 1950’s, but it is now as much a “requirement” for a Mexican artist to sing as is the song “Desperado” for a country and western artist. Anyway, here is a post that is somewhat lighter than my normal […]

Lenten sermon series
No, I am not going to post my Lenten sermon series. But, I will point out that the couple of posts on Christian rudeness that I just finished doing have led me to do my Lenten sermon series on practical Church behaviors. What do I mean? Well, that post on the other blog is now […]
Good Samaritans and waiters/waitresses
This is actually a continuation of the last post because on the other blog, they are already up over 100 comments. One person posted and commented that the people that the New Testament is calling for us to help are the people within the Church, and only if there is enough left over are we […]
