Pharmaceutical companies are among the most maligned companies in America. BIG PHARMA are the constant and consistent targets of lawyers, sarcastically termed “ambulance chasers.” One bad incident can result in lawsuits which may produce tens of millions of dollars in damages. But, every day, these companies produce and provide lifesaving, life-extending, life-transforming therapies to millions up...

There is a growing segment of our American society, this so-called new woke aspect, which seeks to redefine the meaning/definition of a man, a real man, a Biblical man. The definition of a man, by both Biblical and Societal definitions, was clear, not subject to debate or change. That man, created by the Great G-d Jehovah, the Great I Am, was created in His image and was to be like Him, ordained b...

HE created them: MAN AND WOMAN. MALE AND FEMALE. Those two, and those two only. If the Lord God Almighty intended only two sexes, only two genders, then no man or woman has any right to change sex or to TRANSGENDER FROM ONE TO ANOTHER. To do so is wrong, morally wrong, scripturally wrong, and biologically so, as well. Our world, said one Denise George, “is at war with God.” It is bent on defying H...

So say the Founding Fathers of this great country in 1776, the Creator of all and all things endowed every human being so born with unalienable rights. Those rights, God-given, could not be changed or eliminated in any way by mankind. They were part of the DNA, the genetic inheritance of every man and woman at birth and through all of life. Those unalienable rights were the cornerstone of the new...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. What a great way to address the King of England, who obviously disagreed. Unfortunately, this strong assertion of a natural right left out two things. First, all men and all women are created equal. Secondly, the Founding Fathers, brilliant as they were, conveniently seemed to forget the fact that slavery, the enslavement of...

FREEDOM! We are, America is, the home, the land of the: BRAVE AND THE FREE. We are lovers of freedom. It is, you could say, in our genes. We inherited that love of freedom from those who founded our great country, fought against the oppressors more than two centuries ago and built the foundation for the FREEDOMS we now enjoy today. Give us, we say with that great statesman and our forefather Patri...

In the image of God, He created them: male and female. He created them. Women and men were created by the Great God Jehovah in HIS image and there were simply two of us, two sexes: MALE AND FEMALE MAN AND WOMAN No more. And we were like Him, created in His IMAGE. So much for the issue of gender identity. And so much for LGBTQIA+. There was at the BEGINNING a man and a woman and no more and that is...

White smoke graced the sky over the Vatican. The catholic faithful and the world then knew that the successor to the deceased Pope Francis had been elected by the conclave of cardinals. The new pope was none other than: ROBERT PREVOST, 69 YEARS OF AGE. There was nothing remarkable or new about the election of this pope as there had been several hundred before him, except for one thing. Robert Prev...

In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May, echoing the words and sentiments of the proclamation of General John A. Logan of the grand Army of the Republic in 1868 who stated: “Memorial Day is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the...

Our young, thank God, are weary of woke and drugs and all the modern day, post-truth generation addictions and alternatives. Many turn to religion, so surveys say. Many of them, as many as 4 out of 5, may in their exploration of religion, explore and encounter the only real answer to life: OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. That man, the Nazarene, the Galilean, the carpenter, the son of the Living God, is ONE...

In our world, love rules. It is the highest attribute, with fundamental characteristics of all humankind. Perhaps the finest expression of love is: MOTHER LOVE The definition of mother, a real mother is simply put: LOVE A mother’s love is the ultimate human love. It is said that THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE RULES THE WORLD. Perhaps so because so much of a child is formed in the early years by mo...

Take up your cross, my cross, and follow: ME: OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. So, if you become a Christian, and you should and I pray that you are, you have one promise from our Lord of what is to come, and that is: PERSECUTION. Of course there is joy, rejoicing, grace, bliss, faith, hope, strength, and so much more when you join forces with, become a disciple of, and fall in love with: JESUS CHRIST. But,...

HE IS RISEN! Haven’t forgotten that, have you? Just because we celebrated Easter and the Easter message of resurrection even though virtual, Sunday, April 20, I just can’t let you and me ever forget that. It’s not just April 20, it’s every day of 12 MONTHS. HE is the only man who ever triumphed over death and the grave, none before Him and none since. THE ONLY ONE! That resurrection, that bodily r...

Up the carpenter went to Jerusalem, knowing full well why. It was time, HIS time, the time, the eternal time as appointed when a world changing event would happen. It was to be the end of his earthly journey, a time for the transition between the Jesus of history and the Christ of Glory. There came that time in the Garden of Gethsemane where he went to pray. He asked his disciples to participate,...

That, says the scriptures, THE CROSS is an: OFFENSE. The meaning, the thought, the application of the cross is indeed an offense to the NATURAL MAN. That is, the man or woman who has no belief in Christianity. This natural person, man or woman, is offended by the notion of the cross. In fact, this anti-Christian person is offended by anything about the cross, including the blood of Jesus Christ. F...

To find him is like finding the PEARL OF GREAT PRICE. Or, like the man who knew that an unbelievable spiritual treasure was buried in the field but not knowing exactly where. So he went and bought the whole field! He wanted to make sure that he found that treasure, the Lord Jesus Christ. And you, have you found Him? Do you know the joy of here, and eternal fellowship, with the Son of the Living Go...

WE ARE A CHRISTIAN PEOPLE, AND THE MORALITY OF THE COUNTRY IS DEEPLY ENGRAFTED UPON CHRISTIANITY. Those were the words of Chief Justice James Kent of the United States Supreme Court, written by him in his opinion for the 1811 Case: People v. Ruggles. There were 56 signers of the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 29 of those original 56 signers ATTENDED SEMINARY! All 29 were Christian of various denomin...

Many believe the Biden administration, happily and now an historical footnote, fostered an anti-Christian approach to politics, culture, and lifestyle generally. That was so even though Biden was a self-proclaiming Catholic Christian. In the Biden administration, there really were none in high positions who were publicly confessing Christians. That of course, under the Trump administration, has si...

Owe no man nothing, says the scripture. The fact remains, however, that every single American is in debt, EVERY ONE OF US. Every day of every month, we owe someone something. That debt could be as normal as a phone bill, electric bill, cell phone or cable bill, or currently repayable credit card bills. But, we always owe something if we wish to live in any reasonable way in this world. What that d...

Donald J. Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States with both a campaign and a promise to the American people that he and his administration would bring: CHANGE. Fundamental and systemic change to the America WE THE PEOPLE love and live in. That massive, fundamental change he promised would occur under the plan to: DISRUPT AND INNOVATE a mammoth, behemoth of a federal government th...

"LOVE IS THE GREATEST." "Even greater than faith, or hope, or any other thing. We celebrate the love of Valentine’s Day and appropriately so. That loving celebration is fun, romantic, even emotional. It is a day set aside once to live love and to express our love to all, but especially so to someone special. Love is a word difficult of definition. In fact, it has many component parts. Love is comp...

The greatest of all things is LOVE. The greatest, says the Apostle Paul, agreed upon by the world’s greatest thinkers, artists and poets is: LOVE Love is best. The Bible book 1 Corinthians 13 is Paul’s finest expression of love by far. Read and read again those marvelous apostolic definitions of love. One of the meanings of this powerful force is spiritual devotion, a reasoning, intentional spirit...

Here he comes, AGAIN. And for the last time. Four more and no more. Trump will do everything possible to make his mark, leave his legacy, and do what’s right for America. Conservatives and Christians are, or should be, gratified, thankful that Trump prevailed over Harris, for there is a far better chance that the real America, the true America, under sabotage in so many ways by the Biden administr...

We live, my fellow Americans, in the greatest nation in the history of mankind. There is not, nor has there ever been, a nation like: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Never. It is a nation conceived in freedom. It treasures and fosters democracy. It is a constitutional nation, and it is a nation where, as Dr. Martin Luther King so well said, if in fact its citizens live up to its constitution, treasu...
