What in the world is the Ordo Amoris?

February 3, 2025 · by · in Culture, Public Policy, Social Justice Movement · 1 Comment

Last week, our newly minted Vice President, J.D. Vance, elucidated the principle of ordo amoris quite proficiently.  The phrase in question is Latin for ordering our loves or prioritizing them.  During an interview with Fox News, Vance said, “You love your family, and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and […]

FAITHFUL OR FAILURE? THE LEGACY OF JIMMY CARTER

January 4, 2025 · by · in Carter, Jimmy, Public Policy, Social Justice Movement · 1 Comment

Here’s what I know. Jimmy Carter has faced the judgment of almighty God. He, like every other human being one day will, has encountered the Lord Himself (Heb. 9:27). The outcome of that judgment is unknown to us. All we can know with certainty is the legacy that Carter left. When we compare that legacy to the teaching of the Word of God it seems to me that there was much amiss in Carter’s faith. I trust that there is a wideness in the mercy and grace of God. As a preacher of the gospel I would suggest that to be sure that your eternal destiny is heaven believe, speak and live a life of holiness that conforms to the teachings of the Bible (Rom. 12:1-2).

Recently, I witnessed incredible highs and incredible lows.  On the high side, I witnessed the wildly successful launch of the Dragon capsule on top of the Space X Falcon 9 rocket.  For the first time since 2011 and the end of the Shuttle program, American astronauts have been launched in an American rocket off of […]

Restoring our Moral Conscience … Why the Ten Commandments are Essential

June 5, 2017 · by · in Bible, Public Policy, Religious LIberty, Ten Commandments · Leave a comment

We are living in a day when the things of God are mostly ignored in society.  Sadly the church is often just as guilty as the society of ignoring the things of God.  Last year we were all deeply saddened at the tragic and senseless murder of nine church goers at a Wednesday evening prayer […]

“I Sat Astonished!”

November 9, 2016 · by · in Bible, Public Policy, Religious LIberty · 1 Comment

Donald J. Trump will be our next President.  The liberals are crying and many conservatives are rejoicing.  I will leave it to the political pundits to explain how he was elected. Dr. Jody Hice, Congressman from Georgia’s Tenth District, made an astute observation after the election.  He said, “Millions have been praying for mercy, and […]
