Colorado Civil Rights Commission Receives Scathing Remarks From SCOTUS
It Is So Ordered: Not A Wedding Cake But Laws That Prohibit Discrimination On The Basis Of Religion As Well As Sexual Orientation
Can you believe we needed a Supreme Court ruling to tell us to act on principle and not emotion? In the post-Soetoro days of an emboldened radical left slice of America stomping their feet over perceived discrimination while trampling on the basic liberties of others, in a word—yes. The American left has become so intolerant of any differing opinion/lifestyle/[insert noun here], that only a decision from the Supreme Court can put them down for a time. Justice Thomas Cites Laws Calling Out Prevailing Liberal Bias Of The Times Justice Thomas,Read More
Ancient Biblical Era Seals of King Hezekiah and Maybe Isaiah
(image: Courtesy Dr. Eilat Mazar) Clay artifacts bearing the seal of King Hezekiah and possibly the seal of the Prophet Isaiah are to be unveiled in Edmond, Oklahoma, on Sunday. The 2,700-year-old symbols were found during excavations south of the Temple Mount, in an area called the Ophel, which was in use by the Judean royal household for centuries. Each of the small bulla (plural: bullae) bearing the seals would have been used to indicate ownership of particular objects. Read More…

Contemptible Ruth Bader Ginsburg Should Be Held In Contempt
Alienated From The Fundamental Principles She Swore To Uphold You would think that a U.S. Supreme Court justice who took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution would see that as her highest calling. Not to mention the privilege of growing up in such a wonderful country and being called to maintain its freedoms for generations to come. You would think. But not Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Or should we say Radical Bader Ginsburg? Bill Left Us With More Than Gross Cigar Jokes Of course she was appointed by the corruptRead More

Jesus And Collusion: Elitist Concern Or Desperation?
Appointment Of A Special Counsel The appointment of a special counsel came about when two witnesses accused Jesus of being a terrorist. They claimed to have overheard Jesus “plotting” to destroy the temple. And to rebuild it in 3 days—a big, beautiful temple. The council compelled many witnesses to testify regarding the terror threats, but none of their stories agreed. Prior to convening the council, opposition research had been purchased from an informant within the Jesus organization. But the investigatory agents never questioned this source about the temple crusade charges. AsideRead More
DOJ Issues Federal Law Protections For Religious Liberty
Religious Liberty In The U.S. For those of us who care that religious freedom be upheld in the U.S., it is most instructive to read Supreme Court rulings, legal cases, congressional hearings, and documents related to Constitutional religious liberty. It is important to educate ourselves in the nuances of Constitutional Law as it pertains to religious freedom (and other liberties) so that we recognize when Democrats and others are overstepping their bounds—whether in Washington D.C. or our own day-to-day context. Because Obama despises the U.S. Constitution, Christians, and Jews—perhaps notRead More
Mainstream Media Is Radical Activism Disguised As News
The Chronic Irresponsibility Of CNN Since CNN’s inception in 1980 as the first 24/7 cable news show, the network has typically carried out its “reporting endeavors” (extra big quotes there) with imprudent competence and hyperbolic sensationalism. Belaboring the subject, incessant speculation, and prismatic angles marks their journalistic paradigm. Case In Point — MH-370 For example, think disappearance of the MH-370 airplane. This is classic CNN “reporting.” For at least 18 months CNN had 24/7 coverage of MH-370’s mysterious disappearance. Every angle. Every detail about the pilots. Every detail about theRead More
God Does Not Call Us To Be Politically Correct
Author Richard Bauckham in “Jesus: A Very Short Introduction” writes: It is a modern mistake to imagine that the love of God as Jesus portrays it excludes God’s righteous anger. This God of generosity and forgiveness condemns severely those who spurn his generosity, reject his forgiveness, and continue on the destructive path of evil. Jesus’ preaching of the kingdom is full of the urgency of the need for decision lest judgement follow. Seems like a no-brainer, right? But is it? Or is it a modern mistake? And have Christians projected politicalRead More
It Took A Philosopher To Finally Say “Look! The Emperor Is Not Wearing Any Clothes!”
Finally! A philosopher has stepped forward and said “Look! The Emperor is not wearing any clothes.” Honesty is so refreshing in this day and age of topsy-turvy, identity politics, political correctness, and fake news proliferation. Look! The Emperor Is Not Wearing Any Clothes! Leave it to a philosopher.. From Breitbart: Talk of “sex change” is a scientific misnomer, argues philosopher Ryan T. Anderson in a recent article, since it is impossible to change someone’s sex by bombarding them with hormones or performing cosmetic surgery on them. A person can pretendRead More
West Committing Suicide By Forgetting Christian Roots
Suicide Watch: The Axe Is Laid To The Roots Of The Trees
The prominent African Cardinal Robert Sarah, whose name often comes up on the short list of “papabili“—or papal candidates to eventually succeed Pope Francis—has a stark warning for the (little c) catholic church. Cardinal Sarah stated that by forgetting its Christian roots the West is committing suicide, “because a tree without roots is condemned to death.” The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy. (21) But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall awayRead More
