[The following is a transcription of the outline for a sermon by Michael Bray delivered at Reformation Lutheran Church in Bowie, Maryland. Sermons for Reformation Lutheran Church were delivered alternating weeks by co-pastors Dr. Michael Colvin and Michael Bray from 1984 until the church was disbanded in Anno Domini 2000. Over the those years the church met in various places for […]

Posted on 31 March, 2017 (Amended on 30 May 2017) 4 March, 2011 Wrestling season comes to a close. My last high school wrestler has finished his course. Both my sons have gotten from the sport what I had hoped they would get. The sport is a wonderful means of character development. Mack Remington, writing […]

31 March, 2017 Revised 22 July, 2017 Distinctive Features of the Sport One of the great blessing of wrestling is instruction in humility. Everyone takes a beating sometime. Thinking back, I believe I also learned through wrestling about the value of volunteer work: those coaches who put so much time and patience into my efforts […]

Michael Bray 28 Feb., 2017 I am grateful for the article in the Journal featuring pastors of three churches in town (“Keys to a Thriving Congregation,” 28 February, by Gary Huffenberger). There was no definition of a Christian “church” supplied, but based upon the fact that all three were by their implied affirmation of the […]

Michael Bray 20 Feb., 2017 Why do we allow the trendy opinions of a couple Jews and apostate Gentile Christians rule the land – overthrowing the laws of God, the nation, and our cities? The evanescent feelings, mindset, or “opinions” of “the Court” – like the afflatus of an ass – will pass. Law, however, must – […]

22 Feb., 2017 As reported by Neil Snarr in the Journal (21 Feb., 2017) there was in Wilmington an anti-slavery newspaper published from 1851-1855, The Herald of Freedom, edited one John W. Chaffin. I was delighted to read about it. To the glory of Biblical truths and justice and to the credit of these Christian […]

7 Feb., 2017 A false parity between “the right” and “the left” continues now into the middle of the fifth decade. I have in mind of course the “abortion issue.” It is not true that those on each side ought to respect one another’s opinion and patiently wait for a peaceful outworking of “differences.” We […]

20 Jan., 2017 Gary Brock gave the nation a good exhortation regarding the Leftist’s anti-Trump divisive animus. He said, “I hope the level of unreasonable divisiveness and anger will end soon; for the sake of our country and our people” (WNJ, 20 Jan., 2017). In the same Journal issue the “Our View” editorial, “Trump: A […]

Lead article published in CACN, Spring, 1997 Gentle readers, we ask your pardon for the great chasm of time which has separated us from our last communication (we utterly failed to produce a winter issue). But we have been busy with many good deeds, not the least of which is growing the population. The month […]

21 December, 2016 On September 8, 1995, federal Judge James A. Redden sentenced Shelley to twenty years consecutive to the eleven years to which the Kansas state court had sentenced her. “Though I am loathe to call anyone a terrorist,” Redden declared, “you are a terrorist.” Scram! Or as was said by the judge’s parents […]

20 December 2016 Terence J. Hughes, Professor Emeritus, University of Maine 404 North Sixth Street, Fort Pierre, South Dakota In one month from today, on 20 January 2017, Donald Trump is in and Barack Obama is out as President of the United States. Books will be written for a century and more assessing the Obama […]

10 Nov., 2016 You Don’t Want Portman Watching Your Back . . .Unless You’re Pretty Hard Up After Jesus, my next favorite candidate for the 2016 Presidential race would have been Ben Carson. These failing, I was left with Mr. Trump. But I like him a ton more than Hitlery. And the Lord knows I […]

10 Nov., 2016 I was glad to see Mr. Steed returned to service as a County Commissioner. He knows something about running a business and maintaining services within a budget. Politicians would do well to learn that skill prior to running for office. But more important even than such budgetary wisdom, perhaps, is the embrace of […]

27 Oct., 2016 It is not John or Charles Wesley or George Whitfield that I despise. No, as a good Lutheran fellow, I appreciate any fellow Christian with a high (i.e. historic) view of the Scriptures and the defining Creeds of the Faith. And that Faith is affirmed by historic Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Roman Catholics, […]

Terry Hughes 24 Oct., 2016 What do Democrats have to do with Darwin, Death, and the Devil? I refer to Darwinists who control the Democrat Party, not ordinary Democrats. To understand, please bear with me and read on. America has two de facto Catholic Churches, a Roman Catholic Church loyal to the Bishop of Rome […]

21 October, 2016 “Love, love, love” crooned those Beatles back in the 60s. And so it is, in the “Land of the Free” lovers. It is all about “love,” especially sex. We tolerate it pouring into our homes through a little box that we turn on. We see all kinds of “love.” And then we […]
