In Matthew 6:9ff Jesus teaches us how to pray. I find that what he teaches us challenges some basic, and often unspoken, presuppositions of the modern Christian. The contemporary believer believes that God is concerned about spiritual things primarily; things like prayer, going to church, looking forward to heaven. Jesus does start with a spiritual…
War on Homeschooling – War on Freedom
I just read a distressing article at wnd.com about Swedish authorities storming an airplane commando style to take Dominic Johansson from his parents. The reason?

A Mountain that Fills the Earth
I wonder what the theology of the author who wrote “America the Beautiful” was. “Oh Beautiful for patriot’s dream, who sees beyond the years, thine alabaster citys gleam undimmed by human tears!” Daniel 2:31ff shares a vision of history.
