Third Commandment: No Vain Use of God’s Name

Sandwiched in between God’s command to refrain from creating idols, and then bowing down to them in worship, and keeping the Sabbath day holy, is the command concerning God’s name. It reads as follows: You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord…


Second Commandment: No Idolatry

The Second Commandment is closely related to the first in the sense that it still deals directly with honoring God as God by refraining from creating idols and then bowing before them in obeisance. God wrote (Dt 5:22), You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness…


First Commandment – No other gods

Recently, the whole idea of posting The Ten Commandments in the public schools in Louisiana and Oklahoma has caused a great deal of angst among many pagans and degenerates. How dare anyone force their religion upon anyone, much less all those innocent little children. But, do those doing all the…


Connecticut Woman “Checks Out” on Her Own

It has been reported that a terminally ill cancer victim has died after being euthanized in Vermont.

Demoniacs in the Halls of Academia

Imagine paying $79,000 a year to have someone teach you about sexual bondage, domination, and gay sadomasochism—and that a formally Christian school. Yet, that is exactly what is going on at Princeton University, where it offers a class entitled: “Black + Queer in Leather: Black Leather/BDSM Material Culture.” The course…


Proof or Persuasion?

Reformed theologian John Calvin wrote the following in his Institutes: For ad God alone is a fit witness of himself in his Word, so also the Word will not find acceptance in men’s hearts before it is sealed by the inward testimony of the Spirit. The same Spirit, therefore, who…


Sodom on the High Plains
