The “Deep State” conspiracy on the left is nothing new. It has its roots in some very old political history. Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it. What do you remember from your school history classes about the Byzantine Empire? Anything? If you’re of Greek extraction, you’re probably proud that
I want to share with you how to enjoy The Shack and still be a good Christian. Actually, I want to share with you how to enjoy almost any good work of fiction–and still be a good Christian. Honest Confession here: I read The Shack back in 2009, the year after it came out. It

My dear, dear friends, Have you ever had to deal with someone who is living in an alternate reality? No, I’m not talking about writing a novel, or enjoying a good book or a movie for a couple of hours, or even role-playing games! I’m talking about a serious mental condition that divorces that person
