Too Good to be True

For Someone Who’s Got a Lot of Baggage in Their Life, Salvation isn’t an Easy Pill to Swallow However attractive it is, even after accepting the Truth of God’s Grace, there’s still, in some instances, a debilitating weight of guilt and regret that prevents them from forgiving themselves. Hence, God’s Forgiveness is never really embraced. It […]

28 Days

Here’s what I’m proposing: At 12:15 on December 18th, we’ll have a unique kind of class in that every one of us will perform a specific exercise that, at this moment, represents something beyond our current level of strength. For me it’s USMC push-ups. That’s a push-up with a clap in the middle. I can […]

Trump’s Lies

The New York Times is one of several news sources that have been almost entirely negative when it comes to President Donald Trump. Like many liberal leaning media outlets, during the campaign, they spent the better part of a year in a desperate attempt to convince the American public that Trump was not qualified to […]

Motor Oil – It Tastes That Good!

Not long ago, a new soft drink was introduced into the marketplace. It was packaged in a real appealing way, they had some of the best marketing firms contribute some amazing slogans and advertising strategies, they even had some well-known celebrities and athletes endorse it as both tasty and nutritious. There was a problem, however, […]

The Black Robe Regiment

The question on the table is: “Does being a patriot equate to being a Christian and vice versa?” Let’s start by asking that question. The answer is, “No!” My definition of a sound government and the extent I go to defend and champion my convictions do not translate to a relationship with Christ. Nor does […]

Marine Corps Marathon 2017

It’s one of the largest marathons in the country and this year it played host to over 32,000 runners. While you don’t have to qualify for it like you do the Boston Marathon, you do have to be quick on the draw to register. As a matter of fact, apart from events like the “1775 […]

When does Statistical Economic Disparity NOT Indicate Racism?

Freedom left unchecked by that which is moral results in a scenario where you’re no longer asking if it’s “right,” you’re now just asking, “Is it Constitutional?” John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” He was right. What’s […]

A Racist Piece of Cloth

Shannon Sharpe is a sports commentator who, at one point, was a professional football player for the Denver Broncos. He recently went on a bit of rant concerning the way in which much of the NFL is taking a knee during the National Anthem. At one point he said that, “…the flag is nothing but […]

The Real Contest

Before moving to the United States in 1984, Os was a freelance reporter with the BBC. Since then he has been a Guest Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Studies, a Guest Scholar and Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and Senior Fellow at the Trinity Forum and the EastWest Institute in New […]

This is Not Politics

“Politics” can be used as a catch all term to define the self-absorbed elements that often inspire personalities in government to behave the way they do. They’ll make promises they have no intention of keeping, they pass laws that benefit their financial backers and they refrain from making decisions that require moral courage in order […]
