Walter E. Williams “traitors or not”

The Confederacy has been the excuse for some of today's rioting, property destruction and grossly uninformed statements. Among the latter is the testimony before the House Armed Services Committee by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley in favor of renaming Confederate-named military bases. He said: "The Confederacy, the American Civil War, was fought, and it was an act of rebellion. It was an act of treason, at the time, against the Union, against the Stars and Stripes, against the U.S. Constitution." There are a few facts about our founding that should be acknowledged. Let's start at the beginning, namely the American War of Independence (1775-1783), a war between Great Britain and its 13 colonies, which declared independence in July 1776. The peace agreement that ended the war is known as the Treaty of Paris signed by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, John Jay and Henry Laurens and by British Commissioner Richard Oswald, on Sept. 3, 1783.

The Archeological Conundrum

Have you ever had an answer to a question that hasn't been asked? Well I have the answer and the question naturally followed. So which do you want first? I am going to assume you said question. The question is, how is it that archeologists always uncover tools and bowls when they excavate a city/town/homestead?  Let's not leave out coins and buttons. Well, the answer is complicated but simple at the same time. First, you have to ask yourself, what is it about a workshop that makes you drag every tool you own out into the yard to carve or cut with? I'll tell you what it is for my kids, it's because they have every workable surface covered with something or another inside the shop. So in order to work on the latest project (it's a bow or a sword or a knife 😄 ) they have to go outside. Next, you either  finish the latest upgrade to your sword/knife/bow or you just need a little peer review and you run off to challenge your brother to a duel 🤺 . In any case, you shoul

John Cooper’s rebuttal to “Christian leaders” renouncing their faith.

Ok I'm saying it. Because it's too important not to. What is happening in Christianity? More and more of our outspoken leaders or influencers who were once "faces" of the faith are falling away. And at the same time they are being very vocal and bold about it. Shockingly they still want to influence others (for what purpose?)as they announce that they are leaving the faith. I'll state my conclusion, then I'll state some rebuttals to statements I've read by some of them. Firstly, I never judge people outside of my faith. Even if they hate religion or Christianity. That is not my place and I have many friends who disagree with my religion and that is 100% fine with me. However, when it comes to people within my faith, there must be a measure of loyalty and friendship and accountability to each other and the Word of God. My conclusion for the church(all of us Christians): We must STOP making worship leaders and thought leaders or influencers or cool peopl

True friends

I didn't write this I just found it and am spreading it. Amen The Marks of a True Friend Did you know that the deepest need of the human heart is for intimacy? That's just another way of saying friendship. Now, I'm not talking about casual acquaintances or false friends, but true friends. Let me give you three marks of a true friend. How to Know a True Friend A true friend sharpens . He will make you a sharper person, a better person.  Proverbs 27:17 says, "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." A true friendship will put an edge on your life. False friends dull your life, blunt your influence, and drag you down. Anybody who makes it easier for you to do wrong is not a true friend. One of the true tests of any friendship is asking yourself, "Am I a better person for having known this person?" A true friend sticks . A true friend is steadfast. We read in  Proverbs 17:17 : "A friend loveth at all times, and a brother
