Just Stop LYING!

There has been some hand wringing in the media lately because, they say, confidence in our national institutions is eroding. I have an idea, if you want to restore confidence in institutions, just STOP LYING!

“Truth” is a word that has seemingly lost all meaning for some people, especially, it seems, those who wield power. The “truth” is no longer what is factual and provably true, it is simply the approved narrative.

The Surprising Thing That Is Saving Us from Climate Change

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all
. – Joni Mitchell

A recent article by Thade Andy on ClimateChangeDispatch.com highlights criticism of the climate-emergency narrative by Nobel-Prize-winning physicist Dr. John F. Clauser. He calls climate alarmism “a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people.”

That is the opposite of the accepted narrative and he emphasizes some of the same things I have mentioned, namely: could there be positive outcomes from climate change as well as negative ones?

We Must See Past the Lies

Recently I took one of those Facebook surveys. I usually ignore them, because I know they are mostly clickbait and probably wanting to sell you something, but in this case I respected the source of the survey.

It was posted by Prager University, the online teaching tool of Dennis Prager’s company, which also produces his daily radio show. Here is the list of multiple-choice questions:

Five Reasons Christians Should Read the Old Testament

Christians usually spend more of their Bible study time in the New Testament. That makes sense, because Christians are focused on Christ and The New Testament is where we learn about Christ and his ministry in the Gospels, then the growth and development of Jesus Christ’s Church in the rest of the New Testament.

Not only that, but the message of the New Testament is more palatable. The word “Gospel” means “Good News,” after all, and who doesn’t like good news? Also, Jesus’ message is all about love, or at least that’s what we like to emphasize. “God is love.” That’s a direct quote from Jesus.

So I did a thing…

In 2010 I began working on something that I called Thine Is the Kingdom. It was a historical novel based on the book of 1st Samuel in the Bible. I wrote it from the viewpoint of a number of characters, some named in the Bible, some mentioned but not named, and some fictional. The fictional characters actually took center stage.

“What Is Truth?”

Examining the historicity of 1st & 2nd Samuel, continued

In the previous post, I started my look at the historicity of some of the favorite stories in the Bible, which are the subject of my new novel Quest for a King, the first book of the proposed “Age of the Kingdom” series. The title “What Is Truth” is a quote of Pontius Pilate, when he was questioning Christ. Today, it is popular for people to talk about “my truth,” as if you can pick and choose what you believe to be true, but that is just a cop-out and gives permission to avoid truths that make people uncomfortable.
