Michael Bray January, 2006 Our Muslim friends may be paving the way for the Law of Christ.

Such can never retain the respect of the people and must give way to a government which establishes laws derived from revelation from a […]

Michael Bray 25 Oct. 2001 Below is an article by Daniel Pipes (Washington Times, 25 October, 2001) regarding the popularity of bin Laden in the Muslim world.

Capitol Area Christian News Spring, 1996 One could expect the shunning of Pat Buchanan, the outsider, by insiders. The GOP political establishment shudders to think that the “unelectable” Buchanan might gain the nomination and lead the party to defeat against Clinton. A reasonable concern. But big wigs in the party played dirty with their fears. […]

Advocates for Life Winter, 1992 Clintonistas have been regularly criticized and even severely upbraided by conservative pundits since the beginning of the ‘92 campaign. The leader of these New Democrats has been vilified by his political opponents as a socialist, treasonous, draft-dodging, dope-smoking, Sodomite-stroking adulterer. One of his paramours even claims to have aborted his […]

Prepared for Life Advocate, April, 1996 issue The budget is tight these days. And since most of our friends are avid readers of Life Advocate magazine, it seemed good unto us to slip in a pre-birth announcement – or better, a conception news brief – to save a few bucks. So here it is – […]

For Life Advocate Magazine 30 April, 1996 (An accompanying personal note to the now-decedent editor Paul DeParrie precedes.) Hello Paul! Myriad pardons, please. I spent most of Tuesday and was up at 4:00 am on Wednesday to finish it. The muses finally began to speak in the early morning, but other unscheduled pastoral matters did […]

Prepared for Life Advocate Magazine (May, 1997 issue) A few weeks ago a Canadian friend of mine (we’ll call him Peter to protect the innocent) was heading south to New York when, to his wondering ears, sirens went off at the border. In the ensuing flurry of police and sundry officials, Peter was delayed for […]

Michael Bray 29 October 2009 The killer of Tiller, Mike Hendricks opines (Kansas City Star, October 27, 2009), is a “common murderer.” Well which one is the real bad guy? The murderer or the killer of the murderer? The current tragedy in progress is the prosecution of him who rescued the children from the one […]

Behn, Executive Director of Last Call Ministries, a local anti-abortion group: “We’re contemning the violent act. We’re glad he confessed. He needs to own up to it. He needs to repent and seek God’s foregiveness” Lynn Kopp, stepmother of […]

Michael Bray 23 November 2002 Those pro-life organizations which have scurried to purge themselves by getting their press releases out in condemnation of James Kopp thwart the very movement they think to be protecting. By condemning defensive action, they belie themselves and nullify all their prolife proclamations, reducing themselves to noisy gongs. Their dignity-of-man protestations […]

Michael Bray 21 July, 2003 Annually, since 1990, I travel with my family from D.C. down to a place near Wilmington, North Carolina for a week at the beach. It is no fun to drive on interstate 95 in the summer. Traffic is heavy (and thus, dangerous), so this year we decided to decrease the […]
