Not too long ago the Continental Divide stood as a great barrier. Today, in the day of air travel, we don’t take it as seriously. Instead we look at our political divide more fearfully.

Consider. We are in the last couple of weeks of a highly contentious election. Unsurprisingly, we have had some October surprises. What is the big one so far? The story, Emails cast doubt on Joe Biden’s denials about Hunter’s business ties (washingtontimes.com), started appearing about a week ago. President Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, had gotten what appears to be a clone Hunter Biden’s hard drive from a computer repair shop. How? Well, Giuliani tells the story here, Giuliani: Here’s How I Verified the Data From Hunter’s Hard Drive (townhall.com).

Is the evidence on that hard drive real and true? Well, it is not like it stands alone. The Republican majority on the U.S…

I enjoy listening to Renewing Your Mind (renewingyourmind.org). So, last Sunday I listened to R.C. Sproul (ligonier.org) explain the meaning of Mark 7:1-23, in The Idolatry of Legalism.

How Do We Revive Our Culture?

In Part 1,here, we considered whether freedom of religion is the crucial issue in the 2020 election. In Part 2, here, we considered alternative opinions. Here we will look at what Christians can do to revive our culture.
