The America That Once Was (A Christmas Memory)
- By W.H. Lamb
HAS THE “SPIRIT” OF CHRISTMAS LEFT US?
At age 87 I have a lot of mostly good memories of Christmases past—of the America that once was (but is no more), and of the many people who “traveled” with me over my life’s road, at least for part of it. How much more time I’ll have to enjoy all of these memories only my Savior and LORD Jesus knows. But I would like to share a few of these “old” memories with you once again. So bear with me. Perhaps you share similar memories. I hope so. If not now, then when you get “old and experienced”, like me.

Congress Will Need a New Idea in 2024. Will It Choose a Good One?
- By Veronique de Rugy
With U.S. government revenues rising, 2023 might have been a good year to get America's post-COVID-19 finances on track, but the budget deficit is still growing. You can thank overspending for this. It's also the reason we've had to live with inflation, higher interest rates and the threat of massive future tax hikes for another year.
That sets up 2024 as the time when Congress might abandon a dangerous idea that helped get us here. I hope they find a better idea to replace it.
The Congressional Budget Office's latest Monthly Budget Review for November reveals the alarming trend: despite a 19% increase in revenues, amounting to $107 billion, the federal budget deficit has swelled to $383 billion -- $47 billion more than the same period in the previous fiscal year. This surge is attributed to expenditures outpacing revenues by $155 billion.

Why do Genetic Algorithms Show Natural Selection to be Unworkable?
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Natural selection is frequently used by evolutionists as a magic wand that can accomplish anything that they need to. However, the capacities of natural selection are assumed and the most critical have never actually been demonstrated. Genetic algorithms, a type of computer program that uses a selection process to search through possibilities for a solution, have been touted by evolutionists as evidence that natural selection can make universal common descent evolution possible. However, when these algorithms are analyzed and compared to natural selection, they show that natural selection is completely incapable of doing the job the evolutionists require of it.

What Should Happen When Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Take Over the Roads
- By Veronique de Rugy
The government has a dilemma: It's pushing hard for fuel-efficient vehicles, but gas taxes pay for roads. There's an obvious fix, but are Americans ready for it?
Granted, tax credits, subsidies and government mandates aren't delivering the electric-vehicle sales surge the Biden administration promised. Tax breaks for non-wealthy buyers are proving less effective than predicted by government planners, and automakers like Toyota are seeing increased interest from consumers in more affordable and practical hybrids.

The Jihadic Concept of War
- By Mike Scruggs
The Sun Tzu and Joshua Questions
On January 11, 2020, I published an article entitled “The Quranic Concept of War.” This was basically a review and analysis of Pakistani Brigadier General S. K. Malik’s 158-page book, published in English in 2015 and entitled, The Quranic Concept of War. Malik’s book had an enthusiastic 25- page forward written by Pakistani Army Chief of Staff Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq who, following a 1977 coup had made himself President of Pakistan in 1978. Zia died in a plane crash in 1988.

An Early Christmas Story—Again!
- By W.H. Lamb
Note: This touching story was published in The Times Examiner last December 2022. But it touched a lot of people. “Christmas”, as we all should know, is NOT about Santa Claus and his reindeer bringing us presents, nor about snowmen or “grinches”. It’s not even about “Charlie Brown” and his wonderful recitation of the true meaning of Christmas, right from God’s Word. (THANK YOU, Charles Schultz for your brave stand, long ago, against CBS). It’s not really about family gatherings, with special dinners, although they are usually memorable. It’s not about getting lots of presents, mostly stuff we don’t really need. Christmas is more about “giving”, more about focusing on one’s true faith and sharing it with others. It’s about doing, not just talking. Christmas is about----------well, I’ll leave that up to you to decide.

Do Creationists Hold a Conspiracy Theory?
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The charge is sometimes made the creation is claim that evolutionary scientists in the government are hiding evidence in support of Biblical creation. While there may be some that take this kind of position, they are a definite minority. This claim requires a couple of false ideas. The first is that interpreting evidence is 100% objective and that some powerful evolutionists see the truth and are hiding it from people. Neither one of these is true, nor doesn't need to be for creation to be correct.
