Brief Thoughts, Inspirations, and the occasional Provocation for the people of Garden Sanctuary, and you too…
A female police officer violently beaten by a mob of teens in broad daylight is more than a blip on the weekend news radar; it is a bright, flashing warning light that we are entering civilizational freefall. Seeing youth rain down kicks, punches, and blows from weapons on a symbol of law and order is... Continue Reading →
SOMETHING IS BROKEN IN AMERICA, horribly broken… The tragic case involving Columbia, SC store owner Rick Chow ending the life of 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton has come to a conclusion: an acquittal for the store owner.

It’s April Fools’ Day… You may have already been pranked, or are planning your own epic “gotcha.” As you enjoy, or endure, the day, remember the most foolish thing a person can do is to reject the reality of God’s existence.

NO LAW CAN OVERCOME FAILURE AT HOME... Mandating the display of the Ten Commandments is the right thing to do in any classroom in the West.

Last night, the world lurched forward down a path that seemed inevitable, that could have been prevented, but that is here nonetheless. As the U.S. and Israel launch attacks against the Iranian regime—an action necessitated by Iran’s refusal to abandon its mission to obtain nuclear weapons and its calls to destroy the U.S. and Israel—the...

Family courts in America have operated under a terribly damaging assumption for far too long. With disregard for years of research and God’s Word, they have reduced the function of fathers to being primarily, if not solely, financial. This has wreaked havoc on the children of our nation. SC has an opportunity to correct this... Continue Reading →

To call it a death would be melodramatic, but something certainly “ceased to be” this week. It started as a trickle, an article here or there, then a deluge of Christian media outlets began carrying the story that Chip and Joanna Gaines, long hailed as standard bearers of Christian success in business and entertainment, had...

I was recently asked the following question..."I’m a lifetime NRA member, have my CC, and support self-defence, but I’m curious about the theological basis for stating that lethal self-defence is “the God-given” right?"

Jesus points them to outpouring of Pentecost. They want to know if this is when the Kingdom of Israel will be established. The Savior, by now quite accustomed to dealing... Continue Reading →
