Do politics and religion mix? It really depends on how you frame the question or from which perspective you come. However, in reality there is no real way to separate the two. Religion, in some shape or form, propels and shapes politics. Politics necessarily contain a moral framework. The question always is, whose morality?

I’m really curious. The last three weeks I have presented articles about the Church of Latter Day Saints, the Mormons. The articles got dozens of comments, basically all from Mormons. Where were mainline Christians? Does everyone agree with the Mormons? Does everyone disagree with me? Do only Mormons read my articles? I can’t figure it […]

As we continue to study the Mormon Church, we will take a look at its history, condensed of course. Many religions start with a vision or an angelic visitation and Mormonism is no exception.

Mormonism is in the news today because of Mitt Romney, Republican candidate for president. Because Mormonism is getting national attention it is important to know who the Mormons are and what they believe. Are they just another Christian denomination or are they a cult? You decide.

This is a radical, heretical, new form of ecumenicalism. Currently Chrislam is a growing trend in Africa, but it is already making inroads into America. It may […]

I hate to drive. I especially hate to drive on long, boring trips. What really gets me upset though is missing a turn and getting lost somewhere in the wilderness. Parenthetically, when I do get lost, I revert to my feminine side and ask directions. I’m not that proud.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! (Psalm 133:1) Getting along is a great thing. It is often a difficult thing. But if Scripture teaches us anything, it teaches us to love each other and to get along. Why is it such a problem doing this? I […]

A very popular topic in Christian circles is “eschatology” or the study of future things. Usually this discussion is limited to views concerning future events surrounding the Second Coming of Christ. Millions of books on this topic have been sold. What is usually left out of these discussions, and what does fall under this category, […]
