I’m writing this to Southern folks who still have a love of their family and heritage; while others are happily being snookered in the enemy camp. “Honor your father and your mother” the Lord God said. Some of you still have a sense of family and want to obey God. Remember it is always better […]

The New (Old) Name of Modern Evangelicalism: ‘Candyism’
posted by Joel Taylor
Many descriptions have been used to highlight various aspects of the weakness, shallowness, doctrinalphobia and man-centeredness of too much of 20th and 21st century “evangelicalism”. But a single term has eluded us—one which would incorporate the entire grievous condition and capture the real essence of the problem. It is the conviction of this writer that […]
Happy Lee-Jackson Day from Virginia
posted by Joel Taylor
Ok, so I’m a day late. Happy Lee-Jackson Day anyway. It is a day that two noble, Christian men are honored and remembered, and for good reason. I recently read the excellent book, Lee: A Life of Virtue which reveals a refreshing look at the life and beautiful character of the man – passionate patriot, […]

Where Have All the Patriots Gone?
posted by Joel Taylor
Edmund Burke, reflecting on the French Revolution, said, “To make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely.” There is a twin responsibility that encompasses a great and noble nation. It may be summed up in the powers that be and the people. Responsibility rest on the whole to the exclusion of neither. […]

The Great Value In Disaster
posted by Joel Taylor
Thomas Edison’s laboratory was virtually destroyed by fire in December 1914. Although the damage exceeded $2 million, the buildings were only insured for $238,000 because they were made of concrete and thought to be fireproof. Much of Edison’s life’s work went up in spectacular flames that December night. At the height of the fire, Edison’s […]

The following is an excerpt from chapter 3 of a free online book entitled Bible Law vs. The United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective by Ted Weiland.

Did Martin Luther Really Nail His 95 Theses to the Door? Probably Not.
posted by Joel Taylor
Not, anyway, according to the massive biography of Luther by Martin Brecht (3 volumes). And not according to Luther or anyone who was there in those early days of the Lutheran Reformation (to always be distinguished from the Reformed Reformation commenced by Zwingli). Indeed, as Alexander Schmidt points out, no one even suggested that the […]

How Gen. Robert E. Lee Really Viewed Slavery
posted by Joel Taylor
I really enjoy reading history as well as biographies of historical figures, especially those of American history. I know, nerdy. Maybe, but there it is. I’ve also always had an especial interest in listening to others when they speak of it in support of some view they hold dear in relation to current events and […]
John Weaver: The Biblical Doctrine of Self-Defense
posted by Joel Taylor
Pastor, Firearms Instructor & Author, Weaver puts constitutional issues into a biblical perspective. This video is an excellent presentation. Did you know that in early America, a pastor often had the finest firearm in the community, and usually preached with it resting behind the pulpit? Would to God it were so today. When God says […]

John C. Calhoun: “All men are created equal” – A False and Dangerous Error
posted by Joel Taylor
[Calhoun, the leading spokesman for the pre-Civil War South, denounces the principles of the Declaration of Independence. He argues that human beings are not created equal.] If he should possess a philosophical turn of mind, and be disposed to look to more remote and recondite causes, he will trace it to a proposition which originated […]

Abraham Lincoln’s War Against the Declaration of Independence
posted by Joel Taylor
We attended the Southern Heritage Conference in Monroe LA, May, 2003, where there were some very interesting speakers. One of the speakers brought out the fact that America’s empire building, which we are witnessing today, started with Abraham Lincoln. The speaker cited the Gettysburg Address, and gave two examples of what Lincoln said. Lincoln has […]
Five Friends of Freedom
posted by Joel Taylor
From Our Baptist Heritage: In I Corinthians 9:19, we see a paradox that Paul presents to the Corinthians. He was free from all men while being bound to all men. His freedom related to his position as an apostle (I Corinthians 9:1- “Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen […]

Lincoln, the Movie
posted by Joel Taylor
Well, Stephen Spielberg has done it again, no doubt. This film on Lincoln has all the promise of a blockbuster hit this coming November. Even if it’s a huge, big fat lie from the Lincoln cult celebrated not only in Hollywood, but within academia and in the general public (educated by ignorant public educators). It’s […]
