With the advent of an amoral, ethically apathetic, and increasingly characterless society—which we are now experiencing—we have correspondingly seen an epidemic spread through our land. There is moral disease that is robbing us of convictions, values, and truthfulness. It is draining off our integrity, killing our sense of righteousness, and undermining the proclamation of truth. It is a sickness that rots the very fiber of our being as a nation, as a people. It is nothing less than a plague of NICENESS. Continue reading

Snapshot: Cayce and the A.R.E.
He was known as the “Sleeping Prophet” because his “readings” were given while he was in a sleep-like trance. These readings at first mainly concerned health issues, but eventually they began to deal with theology, spiritual matters, past lives, and moral teaching. There were also sporadic prophecies of future events—such as the prediction that the lost Continent of Atlantis would arise from the ocean sometime in 1968 or 69. This demure, humble man from Kentucky would come to be hailed as one of the greatest psychics and “prophets” of the 20th century. His name was Edgar Cayce. Continue reading
Formerly “Home Sweet Home”
I am feeling nostalgic today… and my mind goes back to a place where we used to live. A very unusual place. So unusual that… well, let me explain.
First, you must understand that for about 6 years we lived in a small community in the mountains of southwestern Pennsylvania. Our house was only a few miles from the state lines for both West Virginia and Maryland. In less than five minutes we could be in either state. Although a rural community, we were not lacking in population; however, sometimes I felt that some of the population was lacking in… well, something. I am still not quite sure what. Continue reading
Jonah and the Whale
Question: Do you believe that Jonah was really swallowed by a whale? Isn’t this just a story, and evidence that the Bible is a book of fairy tales?
My Answer: One of the most criticized portions of Scripture is the story of Jonah and his experience in being swallowed alive by a great sea creature. Some modern commentators and theologians avoid the issue by declaring that this story is only a myth, a parable of sorts. It has great merit as a teaching instrument, but it is not to be understood as history. What are we to think? Should we accept this story as being literally true? Or should we view it as a moral parable? Continue reading
In Defense of Dragons
I believe in dragons. No, I do not believe in unicorns, griffins, manitcores, or hippogriffs. I do not believe in sylphs, salamanders, gnomes or undines. I do not believe in fairies or elves (sorry Tolkien). I do not believe in the Minotaur, centaurs or satyrs. I certainly do not believe in the bogeyman, will-o-the-wisps, ghosts, or poltergeists. But, and I say this emphatically, I do truly and with certainty believe in dragons. I believe that they actually once existed on earth, and they may possibly still exist in remote and exotic places today. Continue reading
