On Being a Democrat
- Details
- By David Thompson
Some say the Democrats are poised to take back the House in Congress in the November elections. They must gain a net of 25 seats to do so. If the turnout of Republican voters in November is like it was in the Ohio special election of District 12 in August, the Democrats may well regain the majority. Why would people vote for a Democrat in 2018 in a Congressional election…that is incomprehensible. The answer must be that people don’t know what being a Democrat means.
Laying Down the Law at Church?
- Details
- By Ben Graydon
Law wasn’t God’s first choice: relationship was. But He did give us law (the law was “added,” Galatians 3:19 tells us), and it is the highest form of law there is. Do you suppose He has something to say about it?
Who is more trustworthy when it comes to law – an attorney … or the Creator, the Law-Giver Himself? Considering that the law that attorneys are expert about – attorney-made law (statutory) – is the lowest form of law, upon whom should we rely for the final word on law?
Are We Living Among “The Ruins?”
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Alongside the road to Beaufort, S.C., near Yemassee, stand the still impressive ruins of Old Sheldon Church. Originally built between 1745 and 1753, it was used by American patriots during our Revolutionary War to store arms; hence it was burned down by the British in 1779, and rebuilt in 1826. Tradition has claimed that it was again burned and gutted by the marauding devils from General Sherman’s army of pillagers and despoilers; but recent evidence in a letter from an on site visitor in 1866 claims that Old Sheldon was NOT burned down in 1865 but was gutted by the locals after the War For Southern Independence, and its materials used all over Beaufort, S.C. Be that as it may, the ruins presently stand in grand and haunting majesty, reminders of a time that once was, but is no more.
So Your Child Has a Christian Teacher?
- Details
- By Raquelle Sheen
Recently a few friends were talking about their children’s experiences in government schools. They were both pleased and encouraged that their children had Christian teachers in the school who did not shy away from telling the truth about Christianity. I was happy to hear about the Christian teachers and their efforts to teach the truth. We need Christian adults in the schools! However, does having a Christian teacher make government school an acceptable choice for a Christian family?
The Shot Heard Round the World
- Details
- By David Thompson
My Mother’s full name was May Robinson Harris Weston Thompson. Our ancestors on her side of the family first came to these shores in 1632, in the second John Winthrop flotilla, to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Not to be confused with the colony at Plymouth Rock, the Mass. Bay Colony was founded where Boston is today.
By the time of the American Revolution some 140 plus years later our family had added many other kin. The Robinson branch of the family tree had at least two men who were influential and clearly were American Patriots. John Robinson, from Westford, was elected Lt. Colonel by his militia regiment from Northern Middlesex. His cousin, Lemuel Robinson, owned the Liberty Tree tavern in Dorchester and he, too, was elected Colonel of his militia for Dorchester. The Patriots known as the Sons of Liberty headed by Samuel Adams met at the Liberty Tree Tavern in the years leading up to the start of the American Revolution.
Ruminations on Authority

What do you LOVE to do? What are you GOOD AT doing? What do you DREAM ABOUT doing? What are you PASSIONATE about? Whether you know it as such or not, that, most likely, is the thing that God has called and gifted you to do. It doesn’t matter what it is; if you are a lover of God, He has placed that thing in you and that is your calling – the thing that you were placed on this earth to do. That thing – that Royal assignment – is for you the most important thing in the world.
It may be farming – tilling the ground, planting seed, cultivating it and harvesting it. It may be caring for animals. It may be building or repairing engines. It may be architectural design. It may be teaching and inspiring others. It may be drawing, painting or sculpting. It may be composing music or singing or playing on an instrument. It may be preparing food. It may be gathering herbs and preparing herbal teas and tinctures. It may be cleaning and organizing. It may be writing words so as to communicate ideas and thoughts. It may be interpreting words that others have written, perhaps in a foreign language, so that others may understand. It can be anything that follows - and does not violate - God’s principles of truth.
Is Another "Civil War" on the Near Horizon? - Part 2
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Last time we discussed the several dictionary definitions of “civil war”, all of which agreed that it was an armed conflict between opposing groups of people living in the SAME country. Which to my mind means that our Glorious American Revolution was a true civil war, by definition; and that our so-called “Civil War” of 1861-1865 was not a true civil war, because it was fought between opposing groups from two separate and independent countries—the U.S. Union and the Confederate States of America.
We also began to quote from a summary of an excellent speech given by Daniel Greenfield at the South Carolina Tea Party Convention in January, 2018. Following is the conclusion of Mr. Greenfield’s excellent but quite troubling thoughts:
