Policeless in Seattle
By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons Seattle’s so-called “autonomous zone” is without police protection because protestors have taken over. Law enforcement seems almost helpless in dealing with violent mobs that shun and hate the police in other cities too. These things make me wonder if we’re near the end of days. Many passages in the […]

What if God…
By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “I only have one problem with Progressive Theology; its contentions remind me too much of the devil using Scripture as he did with Jesus during his temptation in the wilderness.

I still believe that’s correct. But interestingly, Oswald Chambers brings out another aspect, saying: “’The […]
Archie Bunker was Nobler than We Knew
By Carl MumpowerChristian Action LeagueMay 29, 2020 “Meathead, dead from the neck up.” Archie Bunker Grace is not a Donald Trump trait. That’s a good thing. A slick and graceful guy would have long-ago melted under the relentless heat of malice, intrigue, and hate. Witness a “morbidly obese” guy who was slated for impeachment before […]
