U.S. President Donald delivered a speech on September 22 in Huntsville, Alabama, at a political campaign rally and said, “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, say, ‘Get that son of bitch off the field, right now. Out! He’s fired! HE’S FIRED!” After Trump said that, some NFL teams have kneeled or locked arms during the playing of the National Anthem before games. They say they are doing it in protest of excessive,... Read more
Right after the presidential election last November, Pew Research reported that Edison Research’s exit polls showed that among those white Evangelicals who voted, 81% of them voted for Donald Trump. The Gospel Coalition demonstrates in an article that this figure is considerably skewed due to some poorly-stated questions asked in the poll. Yet experts would argue against the notion that a considerable majority of white Evangelicals who voted did vote for Trump. Is that because Donald Trump is an Evangelical... Read more

In just a few days, on October 29th, many millions of non-Catholic Christians will celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. On that day, in 1517, priestly monk Martin Luther posted his “Ninety-Five Theses” that came thundering down upon his church, the Roman Catholic Church. This document consisted of 95 sentences that mostly condemned the Church’s practice of indulgences and declared that salvation is a gift of God based on believing in Jesus as Savior. It occurred in Wittenberg,... Read more
Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) is regarded as one of the two greatest physicists and mathematicians in all of human history, the other being Albert Einstein. Newton is most known for formulating the laws of motion and universal gravitation. But Isaac Newton wrote more about Christian theology and alchemy (much of which is today regarded as genuine chemistry) than he did of science and mathematics, yet this has been largely unknown until recent decades. This public ignorance about Isaac Newton is... Read more
I posted one hour ago that NBC reported this morning that U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson attended Pentagon meeting this summer in which he called his boss President Donald Trump “a moron” and when the press questioned him about it just hours ago, he did not deny it and replied that he would not address such petty things. That is a tacit admission. Now, the question arises whether or not President Trump will feel it necessary to tell Tillerson,... Read more
Two hours ago, NBC reported U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson this summer attended a Pentagon meeting in which he called U.S. President Donald Trump “a moron.” Just minutes ago, Tillerson was questioned by the press about this, which was televised. Secretary Tillerson responded, “I’m not going to address petty things like that.” That response appears to be a tacit admission that the report is true. NBC also reported that Secretary Tillerson “threatened” to quit his post. Recall that Tillerson... Read more
