Let’s stop classifying people (Guest Voice)
Let's stop classifying people by Jordan Cooper We have to stop classifying people just based on affluence, age, ancestral appearance, and attire.

Christianity Is Not A Political System
In light of the fuss about religion and politics, something needs to be said: Christianity is not a political system. That fact is lost on certain political partisans who equate their political beliefs with the Christian faith. For example, in April of 2010, Townhall columnist Doug Giles wrote a commentary in which he states, “Somehow, somewhere pastors have decided not to … [Read more...] about Christianity Is Not A Political System

For Immigrants – And All of Us – A Time to Fight (Guest Voice)

It is a shame that CBS cannot handle genre on the main network as well as they do on The CW Network. The third season of Under the Dome totally forgot what made the show interesting, even if the stories were highly flawed.
