..And that's it for today!

What this entry describes has been the most helpful (to me) advance in my thinking in the past ten years. Perhaps it will be helpful to you. Or perhaps it will be more fuel for your grave doubts as to whether I'm a Christian at all. (I started a thread along these lines at the Christianity...

This question was asked of me: “What is your advice to individuals on what ways to follow, concerning the whole global reset?” My answer: Sorry, this is not going to be financial advice. The world is not actually in the hands of men. It is written, “A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord...

Introduction to Intel Drops: The first four of my intel drops are included in “Cheeseburgers With God.” This begins a continuation of Intel Drops updating world events that may or may not be occurring publicly, or perhaps only behind the scenes undercover. The real introduction is...

The mystery of the Bible and specifically the book of Revelation, has eluded most people for millennia. Which was intentional. Intentional—by God—because each of these many generations needed to be put off until the end, or many generations (like this one) would not have been included. If...

My first book (not Walking Like Einstein) was, well, a bit rough. I mean, likely hard to follow. I do write on some crazy-tough subjects, and that should explain a lot of why things are hard to follow. But that first book was more the rantings of a spirit-crazed man taking flight for the first...

(The Badlands, SD) What springs to mind when you hear the word Pharisee? Uh-huh, I thought so. Because the Pharisees get so much negative publicity in the New Testament, we tend to think of them as the bad guys – Jesus' arch-foes and a bunch of legalistic nitpickers. Actually, the truth is...

Intel Gets $8.5 Billion Grant From Chips Act | China In Focus

(Devil's Tower, which somehow seems appropriate) "Are you a Christian?" Someone asked me this on the forums this very morning. It wasn't a friendly, good-natured inquiry. My profile identifies me as a Christian, I've accumulated some 400 posts and more than a dozen blog entries, including a...

"Cheeseburgers With God" may not be what you think, maybe more, maybe less, but a surprise is guaranteed. If you like cheeseburgers, great. If you are vegetarian, you will not go hungry. If you like mystery, you are in for a doozy, a real whodunit. If you love or hate politics, you need this. If...

Indiana Bans Sister-City Agreements With China | China In Focus Indiana is cracking down on Chinese influence. The Hoosier State is becoming the first to ban sister-city agreements with China. Why do experts call those deals Beijing’s soft power tools to influence American policymakers...

Chinese Censorship Is Being Enforced in America: Special Q&A With Tiffany Meier While Congress is debating on whether to ban TikTok over its ties to the CCP, and its threats to national security, the regime has been expanding its roots through entertainment. Hollywood creates and edits many...

China Criticizes US Over SpaceX Spy Satellites Report | China In Focus Join Tiffany Meier and Josh Phillipp, host of Crossroads, to discuss the potential ban over TikTok, Hollywood and the video game industry being infiltrated by the Chinese Communist Party. With Live Special Q&A, where...

Faith is, of course, at the very heart of all religious belief. We use the term "faith" as though it had a definite meaning we all shared and understood. Almost as though the meaning were self-evident. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the context of Christian theism, faith can have...

It should be obvious to anyone who skims my blog (pretty much no one does, but if someone did it should be obvious to them!) that I'm not too interested in the sorts of discussions that predominate on most forums. Debating Bible verses and Christian doctrines has limited appeal to me anyway and...

(Sand, not snow - White Sands, NM) In the previous blog entry, I described my Christianity as largely symbolic, meaning that I believe most Christian doctrines point toward deeper truths and are not to be taken literally (although you can certainly take them that way). This entry concerns the...

CCP-Linked Firm Buys US Education Companies: Report | China In Focus A Chinese-owned finance firm is quietly purchasing U.S. education platforms. We have more on its ownership structure and the company's ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The former head of the U.S. Justice Department...

(Pastor O'Darby preaching to his little flock at the aptly named Devil's Golf Course in Death Valley) This entry will examine how an O'Darby sort of Christianity differs from the sort that predominates at all Christian forums. You'll understand why I'm in a near-constant state of bewilderment...

(In case you wondering, the photo is Mrs. O'Darby, a real stick in the mud.) A glib Christian apologist named Dr. Frank Turek insists atheists must "steal from God" in order to assert moral claims and rights. Is this true? Dr. Turek has a radio program, podcast, book and ministry called "I...
