By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “It was shortly before the election. Reporters seemed to be having trouble getting one candidate to give straight answers to questions.

Cartoons
Socialism, No Worries, Gonna Work Great
By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons “The church of Jesus Christ has traditionally condemned socialism because the Scriptures teach that private property is a God-given right.

Uncle Sam and the Old Mourner’s Bench
Sunday School Times, 1945 The cartoon above was one found recently in an old edition of the Sunday School Times. Obviously, its message is just as relevant today.

Climate Change
(3 Major Schools of Thought/Panic) By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “The warnings about dangerous man-made global warming are based on poor scientific evidence and poor scientific method, are not proven by previous empirical data, conflict with the Bible’s teachings about the nature of the earth and man’s purpose on the earth, and propose solutions […]

By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “The Bible teaches that Satan is the author of sin. Sin is the reason we have afflictions, including death. All our problems and our suffering are a result of man’s rebellion against God. But God has provided a rescue in his Son.” -Dr. Billy Graham
How to Judge: According to Jesus
By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons “Unfortunately, many today often quote Jesus’ command ‘Judge not, that you be not judged’ to mean that we are to suspend our critical faculties in relation to other people, to turn a blind eye to their faults, to eschew all criticism and to refuse to discern between truth and […]
Christianity and Patriotism
By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew Abigail Adams, the wife of John Adams, second President of the United States, wrote in a letter to a friend: ‘A patriot without religion in my estimation is as great a paradox as an honest man without the fear of God. Is it possible that he whom no moral […]
