‘It’s 2018 and Shame Is Dead’
A July 15 article on Hollywood Reporter, critiquing Sascha Baron Cohen’s new cable TV show, made this telling statement: “Back in 2000, when Da Ali G Show premiered, people still had a modicum of shame.” Ah yes, back in the good old days, those days of pristine purity, back in 2000!

Good Parents Raising Great Kids Will Continue To Use A Smack
Lucy Corry of The Wireless asks “Are parents still smacking their kids?” The answer is yes. And they will continue to. Why? Because as then-Prime Minister Helen Clark said when the anti-smacking law was being rammed through Parliament in 2007, to ban smacking would “defy human nature”. A survey released at the beginning of 2017 […]

Why America urgently needs solid Christian witnesses
I worry these days about the erosion of Christian witness. People say and do the most outlandish things, all the while claiming inspiration from their Christian faith. People line up on different sides of issues, stridently claiming that Scripture and tradition support their view. They prize certitude over faith and decibels over deliberation. Sometimes it […]

When something is desperately wrong in our society
I read this article recently about a new $253 million mega-mansion and it really got me thinking about the world we live in. The house in question is called “Billionaire”. The article stated that, “The goal with “Billionaire” was simple; every inch of the property in the home had to be innovative, flawless, and meticulously […]

I’m Not Playing the ‘Deny Trump to Prove Your Love for Jesus’ Game
We hear this on a daily, if not hourly basis. Evangelicals have hurt their witness by voting for Trump. Evangelicals have lost their credibility by supporting Trump. Evangelicals can no longer be taken seriously because they’re in bed with Trump. And on and on it goes. It doesn’t matter who he appoints to the Supreme […]

After Sarah Sanders and her family were kicked out of a restaurant owned by a Trump-hater, Rep.
