Paul Derengowski, ThM Recently, I have been conversing with a pastor friend of mine about returning to the church that he pastors. My wife and I always enjoyed him as a person, and his preaching, in my opinion, is the best we had ever heard. Having attended Bible college and…
Paul Derengowski, ThM At least by all initial appearances an adjunct professor of astronomy at Tarrant County College, Northeast Campus, in Fort Worth, Texas, has left orbit and entered the Islamic stratosphere. Daniel Mashburn, face and hands hidden, apparently underwent a Dawah moment that he just could not resist and…
Paul Derengowski, ThM Jorge Garcia is finally going home. If you have not heard about Jorge, he is the illegal alien that has resided in the United States for the past 30 years and done very little to nothing about his illegal status. Well, as the expression goes, “There is…
Paul Derengowski, ThM On Friday, January 12, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin went before a liberal press and figuratively stabbed President Donald Trump in the back with all kinds of specious accusations, culminating with the attribution that Mr. Trump used an expletive to describe the country of Haiti.

Paul Derengowski, ThM The Bible says, “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity” (Prov. 17:17). Have you ever wondered what a friend truly is and why it is he/she is hard to come by? Lately, I have had two people who claimed to be…
Paul Derengowski, ThM Well, all the hoopla is now over concerning the election fight between Alabama Judge Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones. Jones won. Of course, very little was actually discussed about where the two stood on important issues. Most of the banter was about Judge Moore’s alleged liaisons…
Paul Derengowski, ThM In Matthew 15:1-20, Jesus is confronted by the religious elite over the subject of hand-washing and tradition. From the context, the exchange was not only controversial, but one gets the idea that it was a bit heated too. It was one of several exchanges that Jesus had…
