Posted: August 24, 2023

Jesus named wicked ways … explicitly. That is, Jesus of Nazareth himself was explicit 1000 years after God said to Solomon that His people must “turn from your wicked ways”. Jesus was explicit 2000 years before we go on not caring what he said.

Spiritual Tune-up. YOUR “HABIT and Cherished Thought.” (Gen J L Chamberlain)

Posted: January 20, 2019

Posted: October 18, 2016

Should Christians practice resistance, practice nonviolence? Is it ever appropriate for Christ-followers to resist people in authority? There is much in the behavior of prominent influencers, including politicians, that cries out for criticism and resistance.

Wislawa Szymborska, poem: Cleaning Up The Mess(es)

Posted: April 23, 2005

Why Many Christians Do Not Vote Republican

Posted: February 10, 2005

The problems remain. This was written 20 years ago!
