Election Fraud and Violent Revolution

The question was never if election fraud was committed (there is always some level of fraud that occurs), but whether or not it arose to a level that compromised the integrity of our electoral system.  As a cynic raised by a cynic, I have absolutely no faith in the electoral process in the nation anymore, but apparently the Supreme Court determined that there was not even enough evidence to give Trump's campaign their day in court.  I'm sure it will go down as one of the great conspiracy theories in the political history of our nation.

Zealous Trump supporters are having a difficult time accepting defeat at the hands of a Biden campaign that featured two of the least electable candidates ever proffered by the Democratic party, and I think many Democrats and Independents misunderstand why.  Trump fans cannot accept electoral defeat, not simply because they are infatuated with Trump and/or are equally fearful of the alternative, but because they cannot fathom a world in which the majority of Americans prefer the likes of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (who almost certainly will become president before the end of Biden's term) to Donald Trump.  They simply cannot imagine how anyone could desire to re-empower The Swamp.

Unfortunately, this is the depressing reality in our nation.  The majority of Americans prefer the status quo.  They complacently accept this Left vs Right façade that perpetuates Federal interference in American citizens’ lives, massive budget deficits, continuous warmongering, etc.  Most people are happy with the way things are, or they simply don't care enough to effect a change.  Americans certainly prefer The Establishment to violent revolution and the cult of personality that has developed around the narcissist Donald Trump.    

Perhaps it's time for Conservatives and Libertarians to accept that the majority of Americans do not want personal freedom and responsibility.  They are perfectly content with their bread and circuses.  As for the rest of us, all we can do is live our lives and enjoy the memes.

"Father, Forgive Them"

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Forgiveness is hard.  Forgiveness is really, really hard. It’s difficult to forgive others who have genuinely harmed or offended us.   It’s easy to say , “I forgive you,” but it’s extremely difficult to feel it–to make peace in our hearts with the injustices that others have perpetrated against us. It just doesn’t feel right.  Sin should be punished!  Wrongs should be righted!  Right?! It’s difficult to forgive others when they ask for it.  It’s even more difficult to forgive them when they haven’t asked for it–when they don’t even recognize what they’ve done to hurt us. As our Savior hung upon His Cross, He asked the Father to forgive those nearby–those who were unwittingly contributing to the greatest injustice in the history of the world. These thieves, soldiers, and standers-by had no idea what was happening.  They had no idea that the jealousy of the Jews had placed Christ on that Cross...

5 Reasons I Want my Wife to Start Wearing a Head Covering during Corporate Worship

    Of late, the issue of head coverings has come up in my circle.  Okay...my cousin and I have been discussing it, but the point is, the issue has been bouncing around my head for the past few days.  It is a topic that I have avoided for some time.  Every time I read through 1 Corinthians, I would tell myself, "We'll get around to that."  The reality is that I didn't want to be "that guy"...that guy who people view as a chauvinistic jerk who wants to make sure everyone--especially his wife--remembers that he's the head of his home.  I think I'm beginning to respect "that guy"--those men who have cared enough to stand for what they believe.     Let me be clear that I am referring to head coverings for women (those old enough to leave them on...)  DURING CORPORATE WORSHIP.  I am not advocating head coverings at all times.  Though I see nothing necessarily wrong that practice, I don't see any command for it either.   ...

Paedocommunion: Consistent Covenantalism or Anti-Confessionalism?

    Being raised as a paedocommunionist (that means our kids get to eat Jesus, too), I have always been amazed by how passionately credocommunionists (that means their kids don't get to eat Jesus until they articulate a "credible" profession of faith) dislike the practice.  I would think that they could look at paedocommunion and at least respect it as an attempt to live out Covenant Theology in a consistent way.  Instead, paedocommunionists have been widely viewed as being on the fringe of the fringe (yes, that far) of Reformed Theology.  I like to think that I have been able to agree-to-disagree in an amicable way with my credocommunionist friends.  However, I will admit that being discounted as "unconfessional" (trust me, I've been called worse) has made many paedocommunionists (you'd have to ask my friends whether or not that applies to me) act in a manner that lacks Christian grace.     So, the question remains, is paedocommunion a view hel...
