How much conflict, trouble, and strife could be avoided if we who are believers in Christ were better beacons of his example? My favorite verse is Matthew 5:16. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." I was reminded of this…

The Politically Correct Police are out and about this season. It's one of their favorites of the year. They receive their power from the tyrannical party of "they." You know, it's "they say" and "they won't like it" and "they know what's best." "They" say you'd better not call it Christmas or someone will be…
