David Hume and the Anti-Christian Heresies
- By Winston McCuen
The times are evil, and trials are many, and Christians should guard against sins against the world's one and only true (Christian) faith, including incredulity, apostasy and heresy.
Incredulity is the neglect of revealed truth or the willful refusal to assent to it. Apostasy is total repudiation of the Christian faith. Heresy is the holding of a belief contrary to orthodox Christian doctrine while claiming it as orthodox and while boasting the name of Christian. It includes obstinate post-baptismal denial or doubt of some truth(s) which must be believed with whole or catholic faith, and refusal to accept correction.
Among the sins against the faith, heresy is the most subtle and persistent and dangerous because fallen human nature craves, above all, validation as good whilst in wicked rebellion against God.

An Anatomy of Courage
- By Mike Scruggs
Quotes on Courage, Truth, and Wisdom We Should Not Forget
“Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality. A chastity or honesty or mercy which yields to danger will be chaste or merciful only on conditions. Pilate was merciful until it became risky.” — C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)
“Real valor consists not of being insensible to danger, but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.” —Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)
“If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows not fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened. The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fears, to carry on.” —General George S. Patton, United States Army (1885-1945)
“Where courage is not, no other virtue can survive except by accident.” —Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

A Morning In April, 1775 - Part 2
- By W.H. Lamb
“No King But King Jesus”!
“By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
their flag to April’s breeze unfurled.
Here once the embattled farmers stood
and fired the shot heard ‘round the world”
I’ve always loved Emerson’s famous “Concord Hymn”, the first stanza of which I’ve quoted above. It’s carved onto the famous “Minuteman Statue”, erected in 1875, that stands on the west side of The Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, on the spot where our American patriots fired volleys of musket fire at the British troops on the east side of the original bridge (the graves of two of the three British soldiers killed at this battle are buried by an old stone wall, near the bridge).

The Fed Has More Than a 'Credibility' Problem
- By Veronique de Rugy
I have heard some people say that the Federal Reserve has a credibility problem. The agency missed the biggest inflation spike since the 1980s, was slow to start rolling back pandemic policies and failed to spot the risks that some banks, such as Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), were facing. Instead of instilling confidence and stability, the Fed's policy communication has at times been so unclear and confused that it has only served to exacerbate market volatility.
Credibility is a big enough problem, but unfortunately the Fed's issues go beyond that. The Fed as an institution, along with its policies, seem to be a main source of the economic instability America faces. In fact, David Stockman, Budget Director under President Ronald Reagan, calls the Fed "an SDI" -- a Systematically Dangerous Institution.

The Only Way Out Is Through
- By Josh Hammer
In 2017, my friend Rod Dreher published his popular book, "The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation." Dreher's basic prescription, already intimately familiar to Orthodox Jews, is a localist focus on the cohesive formation of tight-knit, virtuous, religious communities as the best way of enduring the cultural onslaught of progressivism and secularism.

Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Radiometric dating is the best argument there is for an old Earth. In fact, dating methods based on long lived radioactive elements has been the toughest area for young earth creationists to deal with. This is because at first glance it seemed to prove that the Earth is billions of years old. In fact, it has then more to persuade people of the evolutionary view of earth history than anything else that exists. On the surface it may seem almost ironclad but studies involving healing diffusion rates in zircon crystals have shown a fundamental flaw in the assumptions behind radiometric dating.

A Second Look at the Bucha Massacre
- By Mike Scruggs
Skepticism about the Ukrainian-NATO Narrative
On April 11, 2022, I published an article in the online Times Examiner, entitled Behind the Bucha Massacre. I believe I got some important things right, but I was probably wrong on other important issues and conclusions about its magnitude and who was most likely responsible.
Bucha is a small city of 37,000 about 15 miles northwest of the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, bordering the Hostomel (Antonov) Airport. Shortly after the invasion of Russian forces into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Bucha was captured by Russian forces on March 12 and recaptured by the Ukrainian Army on March 31.
