Like the German church in the 1930s, the American church in the 2020s is culpable for the pending devastation of human life and the collapse of a great nation. Comparisons could not be more compelling as proffered in “Letter to the American Church” by New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas.“Letter to the American Church” is a culmination of Mr. Metaxas’ in-depth understanding of the decline and fall of Germany under the Third Reich, especially as seen through the life … [Read more...]

Vietnam’s U-Turn on Coal Reflects Inevitable Energy Reality
Ever since signing the Paris climate agreement, Vietnam has shown interest in reducing its dependency on fossil fuels, introducing in recent years a slew of measures to cut consumption. However, in what is considered to be a major U-turn, Vietnam’s government announced last month that it will increase coal imports for the next 13 years. Critics of fossil fuels, including most mainstream media, are out of sync with the world’s energy realities. They are consistently … [Read more...]

Joe Biden’s Ad Hoc Use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Notwithstanding vociferous criticism of the politicized use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve by the Biden administration, such drawdowns have been employed for decades by Democratic and Republican administrations alike as an ad hoc and futile response to short-run increases in fuel prices. Unlike the case for all previous administrations, which viewed the domestic production of fossil fuels as a positive or at least … [Read more...]

Was Ian Really the “Deadliest” Florida Hurricane Since 1935 or 1928?
We should mourn every death from any natural disaster. We should feel compassion not only for those who have died but also for their family and friends, who mourn their loss. Assuming that the average American has about 15 living close relatives and about 200 friends, the number of people who have lost family or friends due to Hurricane Ian probably approaches 25,000. Each now mourns, closer family and friends more deeply, more distant less deeply. As Christians, we should mourn with those who … [Read more...]
