On Christianese and Shibboleths
March 03rd, 200902:19 PM ETIn Judges 12, the Gileadites find a way to distinguish between friend and foe by compelling captured refugees to say the word 'Shibboleth.' Evidently, Ephraimites couldn't pronounce it correctly, saying instead 'Sibboleth.' Those that said that latter were struck down while those who said the former were allowed to pass. 'Shibboleths' abound in ... -
A Christian Reaction to Obama's Stimulus Bill
February 26th, 200911:13 AM ETThere are plenty of commentators on Obama's stimulus package that it would probably be superfulous to add my thoughts on that.

I see no reason not to be impressed by the deeply transformed Peter, Paul, John, James the brother of J... -

We Do Not Have A Right to a Christian Culture
January 13th, 200912:33 PM ETFirst things first. Many thanks to the Christian Post for inviting me to post regularly on their site. It is an honor and a compliment. I would invite the reader to take a look at my biography and explore some of my own webpages as it will help one to see where I'm coming from in general. I have some links at the bottom.
