What is Faith

September 16, 2012 by Leave a comment

I feel like in all of the stress that fills our life, the times I am able to find for God are among the most reassuring, comforting and refreshing moments for me during the week. One of the things I constantly pray for is help in letting go of the anger I feel. There are so many divisive and dangerous things happening in this country and it’s difficult at times not to become angry. We are living in a country in which dreams are supposed to be able to come true, but almost daily we find increasing efforts to limit personal freedom and fundamentally change what we are. Christianity, central to our founding ethic, is being shunned. God is being exiled. I tell you if we ever as a country reach a point where we think we can carry on without God, we will not remain in his good graces, and much more difficult times than we have ever experienced before will befall us.

Another University Plays the Political Correctness Card

March 21, 2012 by Leave a comment

Radical secularists have been gnawing at the heals of religious people in this country for quite sometime in this country. People of faith are innately tolerant by the virtues of their own faith in this country, and it’s often why they come under attack the most.

There’s an old line that describes the situation with anything in life – if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Well at Stony Brook, they did exactly that, behind the backs of the majority of the student body. For decades, the school calendar has included recesses from the normal class schedule on the two most important holidays in the Jewish Faith: Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanna. They have also scheduled the spring break to coincide with holy week – an extremely holy week on the Jewish Calander and the holiest week on the Christian Calander. Read more of this post

The HHS Mandate and the First Amendment

February 12, 2012 by Leave a comment

The first amendment battle in this country is starting to become more and more apparent as I observe some of the political discourse in this country. It is imperative that people recognize it’s significance or this will become another right, one of our most important ones,  that dissolves in the front of our eyes.

The impetus toward addressing this topic now is result of the religious freedom attack coming directly from the Barack Obama health care plan who’s HHS mandate directly violates conscience laws of individuals in this country. Read more of this post

What’s up with the Catholic Church?

October 27, 2011 by Leave a comment

There seems to be this move among the occupy wall street ensemble out there to justify their own cause by trying to tie Christianity into the movement, namely through surmising what Jesus would have done. Before I addressed anything else, I want to say bluntly that I find any attempt associate the Son of God with this is disgustingly repulsive. It’s very clear in the Gospel message that Jesus made a point avoid an association with political authority of any sort because as he put it “his kingdom is not of this world.” Faith is an individual thing, and Jesus defied the expectation of the masses from the very beginning. He made his entrance into the world in the most humble of ways and grew up in the family of a carpenter. Read more of this post

Being a People of Values in a Secularized Culture

October 8, 2011 by Leave a comment

Some of the conversation on the last show brought to my attention an interesting point that I hadn’t really considered much until now. When our good friend Bill English is on the show from us, of course the topics push the limits of what I’m comfortable running my mouth about. It’s a hypothetical case, however, that I’m willing to consider primarily because it speaks more to us as individuals rather than anything else. Read more of this post
