August, 2011 It is presumed that those who are in positions of authority as teachers of the Scriptures and analysts of the times ─ who discern the issues and evaluate moral matters by means of the Standard of Christian morality ─ would pursue their duty with honesty, integrity, and with courage. Ah, but be not […]

August, 2011 The following short report and commentary is taken from the Summer, 1994 issue of Capitol Area Christian News. It points up fundamental principles of parenting toward which the American federal government is hostile. Laws enacted in the late 20th century by post-Christian western civilization have become increasingly hostile to basic Christian law: the […]

18 September 2004 Letters to the Editor The Columbus Dispatch 34 S 3rd St. Columbus, OH 43215 Those Glossy Politicking NEA Mailings I wonder how many more of those glossy 8 ½ x 14 inch pro-John Kerry mailings I am going to receive from the National Education Association. So far three have arrived […]

Here follows an excerpt from the “National News” section of the Spring, 1999 issue of Capitol Area Christian News. It references the excellent work of Mark Crutcher and Life Dynamics in documenting the growing shortage of “abortion providers” (for which we cannot avoid thanking the “dead-abortionist providers.”) The trend has not altered up to the […]

On October 23, 1998, Bernard Slepian, abortionist, was terminated in New York. Hunting for justice in an insane, upside down world By Cathy Ramey Research assistance: Joe Washburn Christians have a tough task these days. BANG! A bullet flies and a man is dead. There was a time when it could be expected that the […]

CACN, Spring, 1999 I’m confused. It seems we are supposed to rejoice when the wicked are overcome with death, resulting in relief for the oppressed. Where we read things like, “I have seen the violent, wicked man spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil. Then he passed away, and lo, he was […]

CACN, Fall 1997 Justice William Brennan To hell with him. He died at 91 on 24 July, having been granted many long years to meditate upon his wicked life, repent, and receive the gift of eternal life in the Lord Jesus. Frank Murray summarizes his work on the Supreme Court as that which “the Warren […]

6 March 2006 The Restoration of Fatherhood (Or Some Fresh Ideas for Promise Keepers) INTRODUCTION AND DEDICATION Ensconced in this small Christian town in southwestern Ohio, we have been enjoying a change in pace. Our annual March for Life, advertised on the courthouse lawn, drew about 50 people; absolutely no opposition. Shifting my efforts over […]

Michael Bray 8 September, 2003 The execution of our brother, Paul Hill on the third of September was not met with silence from the heavens. There was a response in the atmosphere. The gathered, dark clouds in the minutes before the execution were featured in the pictures of several newspapers the following day. On the […]

“Postcard . . . from the Edge” The outlandish bi-monthly article prepared for our flagship Life Advocate magazine 7 February, 1998, Anno Domini For the month of our Lord, March Some Tips on Revitalizing Your Marriage My Jayne has been dancing like a gazelle about the house since late January. She is altogether beautiful. And […]

Michael Bray February, 2008 Not all folks who oppose the war in Iraq are Communists. But most of those engaged in the harassment of the Marine Recruiting Station in Berkeley are.[1] Why is it that Communists block access to young people who want to volunteer to fight their country’s wars, but they oppose and obstruct […]

The following, published in Capitol Area Christian News in 1997, generated no successful suitors. And to this day, none of our nine daughters are married! But they are all engaged in noble and gainful employment. We are thankful for their love for us and honor they have always showed us, and for their devotion to […]

28 July 2011 Government Determined to Preserve Baby Butchery Tolerates No Real Dissenters. The following report was written a year after the first abortionist was terminated intentionally by a defender of the innocents, Michael Griffin, in Pensacola, and after the federal government burned the Branch Davidian religionists in WACO. About a month after this report, […]

August, 2011 The Rule of Christ in the Face of FACE When a government abandons the Law of God as the foundation for its laws, it reels with confusion until it substitutes another standard. But all replacements will fail because there are none who have the right to be a standard. Not Marx, neither the […]

CACN, July, 1996 Presidential Election Anno 2000 Surmisedly, one of God’s purposes in allowing sin to run its course is to manifest the futility and folly of life apart from His Laws. The present American social stage handily serves that purpose. It makes great comical as well as tragic theater. In that 1992 Presidential election […]

20 February, 1996 Dear Op-ed Editor, A piece regarding the recent attacks on Buchanan and Pratt of Gun Owners of America with reference to a 15 Feb. release from GOA: “Pratt Answers False Attacks” The shunning of Pat Buchanan, the outsider, is to be expected from insiders. The GOP political establishment shudders to think that […]

September, 2000 Not So Orthodox The Veep’s choice, Senator Lieberman, is hailed as an “Orthodox Jew.” He conscientiously keeps the Sabbath evidenced by his abstention from the use of cars and lights from Friday night to Saturday night. High also on his resume is his expressed indignation over the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. Lieberman rebuked the Great […]

AFLM, Sept. 1996 Justice: Maybe in 2000 How illusive that “middle ground” is where we imagine we can find a compromise between opposites! Is there really a way to apply the Hegelian dialectic to matters of Truth? Can Truth and non-Truth be synthesized? Not an issue for Hegel and his progeny. For these folks there […]
