There's not much that's new about the practice of finding fault with everything that Donald Trump does. it's what keeps many pseudo-journalists and politicians going. In this situation, the President is supposedly unable to say the Lord's Prayer without a teleprompter, but there is of course no...

Sad to say, it does appear to be declining. Why that is the fact owes to a variety of developments, from the government's lockdowns of churches during the Covid era to the campaigning of far-left politicians, schools, and the media against religion (other than Islam). One particular political...

Oh yes they are. While the choice of a particular day on the calendar may have proceeded the events of 2024 as you indicated, the fact remains that the proclamations, observances, and the attention given to "Trans visibility" this year when the day just happened to fall on Easter was...

"Not everyone buys into it." "For some skeptical Christians...is just too much to swallow." "Some people simply can’t bring themselves to believe...." But our author (who majored in political science, not religion, theology, or history) never identifies these "some people" or how many of them...

Most likely, no. No. Not unless he sincerely believed that the RCC is the one true and only genuine church but left it anyway. It's most unlikely that this does describe your pastor's thinking, and even then it's an open question whether abandoning membership in the RCC in itself damns anyone...

Hi, NC. Thanks for asking for our thinking on this very important subject. Many of us, including many of the most dedicated people you can meet these days, pastors included, have passed through several different denominations in their lives before coming to the one that was right for them. In...

Faith is not a 'good work.'

Almost certainly not.

Sounds logical enough, but I'm still waiting to read the argument based upon Holy Scripture. What would that be?

No, but considering that we have a political party which is already engaged in or working on packing the Supreme Court, doing away with the Electoral College, kicking the candidates of the opposition party off the ballot for alleged but unproven "crimes," jailing opponents' supporters...

That's right. Didn't these stockers used to work at night? Now it seems as though they're there at any and all times. At least, I now know that it's not an innovation decided on by just my local store.

Hmm. I wasn't specific about which other nations had how many functioning parties, but what you've described is a three-way system, so that's somewhat more flexible than ours. And then you also referred to governing coalitions, which are more than what we have here where the occasional third...

Permitting, through the use of various devices, only the two main parties to 1) form and then 2) compete for most offices and in most states may be the way our own "democracy" operates. But it's not how most of the other ones do it. Were the voters allowed to have more choices, what you're...

...and there you've identified one big fact that is overlooked by many people who are disenchanted with Trump and/or are by nature Independents. It's "President Kamala Harris" that anyone who votes for Joe Biden (OR votes or a third-party candidate) this year is actually voting for. Biden is...

On the other hand, the Republican Party nominated two moderates (called RINOs by some) in the several elections prior to Trump--Romney and McCain--and not only did both of them lose convincingly, but both of them also gave up several weeks before Election Day. Trump, if we remember, campaigned...

In Vermont, there was only a presidential primary election being held this week. The primaries for US Senate, House, state legislature, local offices, etc. will be held in August as usual.

Except that Trump is not the incumbent. Biden is. At best, you're thinking this race has two incumbents, which defies the meaning of the word incumbent. In addition, Trump lost the primary in Vermont and Biden lost the primary in American Samoa, so I don't think we can say that this unusual...

For improved taste and for less sodium, give Spam Lite a try, folks.

I understand, but it's possible to look at the issue this way-- The two candidates have, at one time or another, been in charge of the country for four consecutive years. Which scenario would you feel most comfortable with during the next four years, assuming that each man's policies, etc...

Well, the better pages usually come with a photo and some text. I just think that when people are looking for a church for themselves, a little mention of the minister(s), with or without a small bio, makes the church seem established and welcoming. The same with references to youth groups...
