A prayer based on Romans 8:18–25: Our Father in heaven, in this present time we suffer many things—illness, the death of loved ones, poverty, injustice, and the disappointment of our own sins. Yet we proclaim with the Apostle Paul that these sufferings are not worthy to be compared with the glory that You will one day reveal to us. It is an amazing thing to know that the creation waits for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God. Our redemption is the key to its redemption! Please use … [Read more...]

We Confess that We Pray Too Little
It is easy for Christians to focus so much on personal salvation that we forget about surrounding society’s need for the salt and light of the gospel. It, too, needs transformation by Christ, and we, His people, are the primary means by which He achieves that. It’s also easy for us to forget that Christ came not only to save individuals from our sins, and not only to transform societies, but even to save the creation itself from the curse God pronounced on it because of Adam’s sin (Genesis … [Read more...]
Trump’s Decision to Downplay Climate Change Could Save $Billions
Climate-change hysteria is the primary rationale for switching from abundant, affordable, reliable energy from fossil fuels to diffuse, expensive, unreliable "renewable energy from wind, solar, geothermal, biofuels, etc. It's also a main driver of failure after failure, often wasting millions or even billions in taxpayer dollars.

Why the U.S. Should Clexit and Pexit—Exit UNFCCC and Paris Climate Treaty
As a candidate Donald Trump promised to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate treaty/aka agreement if elected President. Now he's reported to be wavering.

Standing Rock Sioux tribe—its own worst enemy
Ironies are often fun, and that's certainly the case with the failed effort by Standing Rock Sioux to stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. David Middleton makes the point clearly, summed up in these three ironies: The protest led to a $6 million loss in revenue at the tribe's gambling casino. The protest camp itself, not the pipeline, threatened water quality for the tribe: "North Dakota authorities said the closing of the main protest camp, which sits on Army Corps of … [Read more...]
