We have heard the saying that the two most certain things are death and taxes. Rarely do governments repeal any of the many taxes they impose. However, a bunch of politicians in Congress and some in the Senate want to “repeal” a certain “tax” as a matter of social justice. This “tax” is the so-called “pink tax.” Because women may pay more on average for certain products and services than men, activists call this extra expense the “pink tax.” Congress has proposed the “Pink Tax Repeal Act” for the fifth time! Perhaps they will finally “repeal” the “pink tax.” Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey has studies showing female products with higher prices than similar non-female products. Is this because companies like

My wife Chelsea returns after several weeks to co-host with me again for a Mother’s Day episode. First, we see how current dictionaries define mother. Next, we discuss mothers in various situations and how Mother’s Day may be difficult for some mothers. Finally, we look at the examples of Lois and Eunice (Timothy’s grandmother and mother respectively) and how a Christian mother’s nurturing faith can endure for generations.

Looking at the recent “pro-Palestine” protesters taking over college campuses and setting up tent encampments, I observe their strange an nuanced demands. Many of the protesters don’t even know why they’re protesting! The reason these college kids oppose Israel and “support Palestine” seems not because they’re intrinsically antisemitic, but because they’ve been indoctrinated with cultural Marxism. Cultural Marxism and any other manifestation of Marxism is destructive and degrading. The solution is the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This Saturday our church hosted an annual pinewood derby called the AWANA Grand Prix. Racing a wooden car down a track reminded me of Paul’s admonition to run the Christian race with patience.

April 1, 2024 was no April Fool’s Day for many fast food workers in California. When a new law went into effect promising a $20 minimum wage for fast workers, many found themselves worse off. Slashed hours or even laid off, young people felt betrayed by pipe dream politics. The law included a controversial carve out that benefits some food chains at the expense of others. And laws like California’s updated FAST Recovery Act devastate the people they proport to help. Is a coercive minimum wage even a Biblical concept? Especially one far above what employers and young employees would naturally agree on? The Bible strongly supports covenants and keeping one’s promises. Jesus’ parable of the vineyard workers explains that

In an interview on April 1, Richard Dawkins gave an “Easter message” in an interview. Expressing his concern about the spread of Islam in the UK, Dawkins called himself a “cultural Christian.” He likes to live in a “Christian culture” but he is “not a believer” and doesn’t “believe a word of the Christian faith.” While some claim this is a “change” from Dawkins’ past, I remain skeptical. Let’s look at some verses in the Bible to see if claiming to be a “cultural Christian” makes one a “Christian” in any meaningful way.

Christ is King! This statement has become controversial in the last week. Instead of arguing over the politics of it, I talk about the doctrines of Jesus Christ that make Him king: Christ is King because of the Trinity Christ is King because of the Incarnation (which depends on the Trinity) Christ is King because of substitutionary atonement (which depends on the incarnation) Christ is King because of the resurrection (which depends on substitutionary atonement) Scriptures Referenced: Psalm 110:1 Matthew 28:18-19 1 Corinthians 12:3-11 Isaiah 45:22-23 Philippians 2:5-11 Isaiah 53:10-12 Hebrews 2:14-18 Acts 2:30-36 1 Peter 3:18-22 1 Corinthians 15:20-22 ***Castle Rock Women’s Healthis a pro-life and pro-women health care ministry.

I talk about how some current news items reflect an unbiblical crusade against the intuitions of human nature. We all know the Ten Commandments make perfect sense for both personal virtue and a flourishing society. However, we also recognize how the Fall of man tempts us to yield to base desires. The philosophies of world that we see all around us in the news try to subject the human nature that reflects the image of God to the whims of base desires. They try make people fight over who gets to satisfy their own base desires at the expense of others. We should not lose heart as we know our labor is not in vain, and Jesus Christ as the

Chelsea and I recall a few Sunday School stories from the Bible that demonstrate a running theme: they all required courage to trust God with results. ***Castle Rock Women’s Healthis a pro-life and pro-women health care ministry.
