On Thursday, August 24, I was interviewed on Gina Crabtree’s “Take Five at Five” show on Honolulu’s Salem Media news-talk station, 690 AM The Answer. You can listen to the recording below.
I was able to talk about my book series, Backlash and Age of the Kingdom, the first book of which, Quest for a King (available now).
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.

From up and down, and still somehow

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?

Comments closedRecently 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:

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.

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.

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.
