Will We Ever Heed Orwell’s Warning?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
A WARNING FROM GEORGE ORWELL:
“This is the direction the world is going in at the present time. In our world there will be no emotions, except fear, rage, triumph, and self abasement. The sex instinct will be eradicated…. There will be no loyalty except loyalty to the party. But always there will be the intoxication of power. Always at every moment there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever. The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one. DON’T LET IT HAPPEN! It depends on YOU.”
Eric Blair (1903-1950). Better known by his “pen name” of GEORGE ORWELL.

Putin on the Russian Economy
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Reality versus the Western Narrative
On December 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave his annual end-of-year press conference. Unlike most American and European press conferences, it lasted more than four hours. It was also much more open to both the public and international news media than is standard for American and European conferences. He answered questions from reporters there and ordinary Russian citizens by phone. His introductory remarks were a relatively brief summary of mostly economic statistics, but he went on for better than four hours answering questions not only from Russian media, but many international media organizations, including NBC.
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.
Retelling “A Christmas Story” Once Again
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Note: This touching story has been published in The Times Examiner twice previously. But I know that its message could touch a lot of people. At least I hope it will. “Christmas”, as we all should know, is NOT about Santa Claus and his reindeer bringing us presents, nor about snowmen or “grinches” or any of that nonsensical but fun stuff. 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, spending money we or others have gone into debt to acquire, which is truly a waste of money and effort, in my opinion.

John 1:1-5 (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Stark Violence: An Aberration or Human Nature?
- Details
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
The senseless killing of men, women and children in Australia in a horrific anti-Semitic and anti-human act. Hollywood icon Rob Reiner and his wife having their throats cut while sleeping in bed—by their own son.
These shocking situations appall anyone who has a sense of decency and humanity.
But they beg the question: are these acts an aberration that we should think is infrequent and circling on the periphery of society, or are they part and parcel of human nature?
What Was the Star of Bethlehem?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
We see it in every Manger scene along with the wise men, and because of that, it is commonly associated with Christmas. The irony, however, is that the wise men may not have arrived until months, to even almost two years, after Jesus was actually born. The question before us is, what was the star of Bethlehem? There have been numerous suggestions, most of which do not even come close to really matching what is described. So, let's dive in and look at the possibilities to see if we can get an idea of what the star really was.
