The Senate finds itself boxed into a “no-win” corner. This is where Republicans almost always end up when they try to play the game of politics. Democrats do a much better job and always win at this game.
“Playing politics” is what George Washington loathed. He hated political parties because he believed that one would become more interested in pursuing the benefit of...

When we are sick, there is nothing we want more than to be restored to health. I can think of several times in my life when I was so sick (Lima, Peru and Cairo, Egypt) that I ashamedly admit I thought it would be better to die. That’s how “bad sick” it was. I can remember lying out in a field during pilot training after a bad parachute landing with my shoulder way...
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form o...
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. John 1:14
I suppose no truth claim found within the biblical worldview can match the sheer awe brought about by the incarnation.
Wayne Grudem puts it this way:
It is by far the most amazing miracle of the entire Bible—far more amazing than the resurrection and more amazing even than the creation of the universe. The fact that the ...
We will be hold an Engagement Project Training Conference at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Lakewood, Washington on August 28. If you are in the area, we would love to see you there. I am looking forward to seeing one of our students from the Engagement filming and others that have been instrumental in the Truth Project.
CBS posted an article entitled “10 Top Coolest New Species”. When I first read the headline, I thought it was proposing that evolution had given us ten new species.
No.
Every year the International Institute for Species Exploration delivers a list of species they have been newly discovered. It is a great site if you are interested. http://www.esf.edu/species/

For twenty years, scientists have been baffled by what you might call “crop circles” or “sand castles” on the bottom of the ocean off the coast of Japan’s Amami Oshima Island.
The mystery is now solved.
These intricate, strange yet beautiful designs were painstakingly made by a male puffer fish in hopes that his “castle” might attract a pretty lit...
It is past time for those who call upon the Lord, to call upon the Lord.
If God prompts you, let’s take a few minutes to begin to pray together, on Tuesdays at noon, eastern, for repentance and revival in our land. Wouldn't it be something if the totality of God's people were humbling themselves before God together with one voice at the same time all over our land.
It is im...
It is one thing for Jesus to rise from the dead, which, in itself, is an incomparable event that should give the deepest skeptic pause. But, for Jesus to have predicted that event and its details, and have it happen, raises everything to a new level, for it now demands our attention be drawn to who Jesus really is.
Jesus openly and clearly predicted His death and resurrection three times, y...
“declared to be the Son of God… by His resurrection from the dead” Romans 1:4
Last time, we pondered how the resurrection was the Great Confirmation, affirming everything the Scripture said about Him and all of His words. Now we want to contemplate the rest of this statement by Paul: that it was the resurrection which declared Jesus to be the Son of God… God in th...
