Honor your father and mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. Father in Heaven, You are the model Father. You show us what it truly means to love our children. While those who don’t know you worry about what they will eat or what they will wear or where they live, You feed the birds of the air and clothe the flowers of the field, and You assure us that if You do those things, You will take care of us, too, so that we will seek first Your Kingdom and … [Read more...]
Remember the Sabbath day, to Keep it Holy
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Lord, You … [Read more...]
You shall not commit adultery
Oh Father, You are of purer eyes than to look upon evil, and You made us, male and female, to express love and fruitfulness through our sexuality. But we, Your creatures, have sullied sex, as we’ve sullied everything else, by misusing it, often by idolizing it. Teach us, like Your servant Job, to make a covenant with our eyes, not to look lustfully on others, but rather to see them as Your precious image bearers, many of them already Your children, many more yet to become Your children, and all … [Read more...]
You Shall Not Take the Name of the LORD your God in Vain
“You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.” “O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!” Heavenly Father, Your creation, the work of Your hands, is a glorious revelation of Your wisdom, power, and goodness. Yet many people fail to recognize that. They are blind to how the heavens declare Your glory, and the sky Your handiwork. I see this especially in the ease with which so many people … [Read more...]
You shall not make for yourself a carved image
You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. O Lord, why did You forbid us to … [Read more...]
You shall have no other gods before Me.
Father, it’s so easy in this life to let other things take Your place in or thinking. Wealth, friendships, freedom, our own pride—these and many other things we tend to prioritize above You. Free us from these, we pray, and free the many people who have turned the world itself into their god—“atheist” secularists for whom the material world is the ultimate reality, pantheist spiritualists for whom the cosmos is god, primitive animists who substitute many gods for you. Those attitudes are … [Read more...]
#SanFranciscoKnew—What Did San Francisco Know about Climate Change, and When Did It Know It?
David Johnson, who follows us on Facebook, brought our attention to this article, which demonstrates that some California cities, including San Francisco, which with Oakland is suing five major oil companies including ExxonMobil, alleging that the companies suppressed from their stockholders what they knew about the risks of climate change to their stocks' future value, are guilty of exactly that practice themselves in dealing with their bondholders. Here's the essence of the story: ... consider … [Read more...]

Did Oil Companies Conspire to Hide Their Knowledge about Climate Change?
Everybody knows Big Oil has conspired to hide the fact that it knew decades ago that its product was causing global warming that puts all humanity at risk. Greens have been claiming that since the 1990s. AG's United for Clean Power endorsed the claim and initiated investigations and lawsuits. Except not. For years independent journalist Russell Cook has exposed the errors of the conspiracy claim. Now a federal judge in the ultra-liberal San Francisco circuit has rejected the claim, too. In … [Read more...]
What’s Behind the Rhetoric of ‘Climate Change’ and the Demonizing of Skeptics?
Emily Holden is a well-trained rhetorician. In her Politico article “Climate change skeptics run the Trump administration,” she writes of President Trump and his appointees’ “disbelief in the scientific evidence for climate change,” which of course is spin in multiple ways. Holden depends from the start on the fact that skepticism of “climate change” is now widely considered anti-scientific. Yet as the philosopher of science Robert K. Merton wrote 80 years ago, “Most institutions demand … [Read more...]
