A friendly Reminder

Did Jesus Win the Super Bowl? by Jake MacAulay   Though I didn’t watch much of the Super Bowl, I was able to catch some headlines the day following and noticed quite a few comments on how the victorious Philadelphia Eagles’ players were thanking God and His Son Jesus Christ.   After the game, and receiving the MVP honor, Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles told Dan Patrick of NBC Sports, “Unbelievable, all the glory to God.” Foles recently explained he is currently studying at Libert

Why All the Uproar For This Years State of the Union? by Jake MacAulay It seems everyone in America is aware of or anticipating this year’s State of the Union Address by President Donald Trump.  That should come as no surprise after last year’s near 48 million TV viewers, topping the former president Barack Obama’s 31 plus million viewers each of the previous two years. Of course, many Americans aren’t even waiting for the president to address us before they give their opinio

The Bible vs “Fire and Fury” - Congress Decided by Jake MacAulay There has been a lot of talk about book releases recently.  There is, of course, Hilary Clinton’s new book, which we will discuss in the coming weeks because it is being powerfully overshadowed by a recent release of Michael Wolff’s book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House”.   Though “Fire and Fury” has caused just that among news networks, it is not because of the brilliance of the author, but rather

My Next Guests (MLK and Obama) Need No Introduction by Jake MacAulay   This week, while many Americans commemorate equal rights champion Martin Luther King, Jr., I took the time to read my old copy of Letter From a Birmingham Jail.  I have always been so impressed by his writing prowess, and like my hero, the Apostle Paul, he did this from a primitive jail cell in Alabama.    He emphasizes the Declaration of Independence and demands for more Christlike action from the profe

Another Year to #MAGA by Jake MacAulay “Make America Great Again” has turned into an vibrant, contagious slogan.  It is a slogan that has given hope and restored the voice of those in America who had become despondent and discouraged with what many have called the D.C. Swamp.   In their quest for greatness, our founding fathers laid a consistent and discoverable pattern that would establish and ensure the greatness of America.   John Adams, Father of American Independence an

A Shutdown Leads to Limited Government by Jake MacAulay I am sure you have been made aware of the recent great news for limited government. The U.S. government has closed for business for the 19 time since 1976.   It appears Divine Providence has given the American people a rest from many current regulations of their liberties.   Why should this make you happy? Because, government and their parasitical bureaucracies have often strangled, suffocated, and murdered priceless, d

The Political Significance of Christmas by Jake MacAulay In their effort to make a point, those who discuss law and government and politics for a living often miss the most critical – the most crucial point of all.   So, as we celebrate Christmas, this is a good time to take a deep breath and revisit first principles.   We should remember the  political  significance of Christmas.  Now don’t get distracted by arguments that early Christians latched onto a pre-existing pagan h

With the November 2017 Elections What Should Republicans Do Now? by Jake MacAulay With the recent victories by Democrats in the November 2017 elections, there is much talk about what Republicans should learn from this and what they should do now.   One argument is that Republicans must more clearly "embrace Trump.”  That is, they should align themselves with the President and demonstrate their allegiance to his policies and his persona.   Others say that it’s time for Republi

New Years Resolution, Eliminate the Tyranny of Case Law by Jake MacAulay   Most Americans assume that rulings and decisions handed down in cases that come before American courts are based on, and consistent with, the “rule of law”.   But, regrettably, this is not true.   In American courtrooms today, court rulings are not based on real law.  Rather, they are based on an imitation system which is commonly called “case law” or “the case law method”.   This phony “case law” m

Can Federal or State Governments Force Businesses to Participate with Sexual Sin? by Jake MacAulay   On Tuesday, December 5, 2017, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Masterpiece Cakeshop case involving Christian bakeshop owner Jack Phillips.   Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) recounts the story that led to the recent events on their website. “In July 2012, two men came into Jack’s bakeshop requesting a wedding cake for their same-sex ceremony. In an

When You are Falsely Accused, Who is the Real Criminal and Who is the Victim?   by Jake MacAulay The Book of Proverbs, chapter 18, verse 17, says this: “The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.”   It’s true that we are apt to believe the first story that we hear, especially if it tends to confirm what we already believe, and especially when it’s something that supports our pre-existing agenda.   But this Proverb is a solemn warnin

Beyond Slavery: American Politics at War With Black Lives by Jake MacAulay   Despite being a culture of death, Americans have uncompromisingly (or so we think) done away with slavery in a pursuit of liberty for all men and women.   Noah Webster clarifies that this “liberty of one depends not so much on the removal of all restraint from him, as on the due restraint upon the liberty of others.”    Now this restraint on the liberty of others is exemplified in chattel slavery.
