Book Review of “The Case for Christ”

Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ might be a strange book to have a review for on a site like this. As one can easily gather from the title, it is an argument for Jesus to be the Lord of our lives. And so, if you are here, you have probably already read the book, or, as a believer, you'd have the quite natural question: Why should I read it? But I would encourage you to read it, or even reread it. If you are like me, you read the book many years ago, either as a nonbeliever or as a brand-new Christian. And as a book for the nonbeliever or brand-new Christian, it is unquestionably a book of great value. Yet I submit that for the more seasoned believer, there are still more lessons to be gleaned from the book that might have been inaccessible to us when we were infants in the faith.

Book Review of “The Politics of Obedience”

I come to you now with The Politics of Obedience (circa 1552) by Étienne de La Boétie (1530–1563). In a very real way, La Boétie is the reformer of political thought in the same way that Luther was the reformer of the Catholic Church, except that where Luther's Reformation took hold and flourished, La Boétie's has never taken hold to the same extent, though his ideas have influenced thinkers over the centuries. Here is a book worth reading and really worth ruminating over. Given how brief it is (only about 80 pages in this edition) it is one that you ought not delay in reading.

Wisdom in the Best Books and Films

Jacob Bair recently ran for office in Oklahoma. That is how we met. Then I found out that we also share a love of good books and seeking wisdom. He has both a substack and a podcast and is a wealth of information! I asked him if he had an index to his work and he said no but that he would create one and that he did. Here it is (shared with permission); the links at the end of each listing go to the article or episode in his substack:

Ron Wyatt and his Amazing Archaeological Discoveries

A man named Ron Wyatt discovered the Ark of the Covenant hidden in caves in the area of Jerusalem beneath the actual crucifixion site of Jesus.  He found on the Mercy Seat some of the dried blood that spilled from our Lord’s side that day and as you will remember there was an earthquake and the temple veil was rent from top to bottom.  Apparently some of that blood made its way into the earth and down into the cave and landed on the Mercy Seat.  Now does that sound like something God would do and reveal His hand in the matter to you?

Why Evolution and Biblical Christianity Cannot Coexist

There’s a popular myth floating around in modern churches — that evolution and Christianity can somehow be harmonized. That maybe God used evolution. That Genesis is “symbolic.” That Adam and Eve weren’t really the first humans, just representative figures. That myth is not harmless. It strikes at the very heart of the Gospel. Because if evolution is true, then the Bible is not. And if the Bible is not true in Genesis, it cannot be trusted in John 3:16 either. Let’s be blunt: evolution is not a scientific theory seeking truth; it is a religious philosophy designed to eliminate God. And it’s been remarkably successful in doing so — not because it proved God wrong, but because too many Christians surrendered before the fight even began.

History – David Crockett, Charity and Congress

I was one day in the lobby of the House of Representatives when a bill was taken up appropriating money for the benefit of a widow of a distinguished naval officer. Several beautiful speeches had been made in its support, rather, as I thought, because it afforded the speakers a fine opportunity for display than from the necessity of convincing anybody, for it seemed to me that everybody favored it. The Speaker was just about to put the question, when Crockett arose. Everybody expected, of course, that he was going to make one of his characteristic speeches in support of the bill. He commenced:

No Oklahoma K-12 School-Based Health Centers

By Deborah Campbell School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) have a federal agenda to rapidly expand the use of SBHC—access to your children without your knowledge—throughout America.  K-12 school-based healthcare centers (clinics) are on campus and off campus socialized healthcare services modeled by the CDC's Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) with an anti-parent agenda. This socialized healthcare is promoted by the CDC, NEA, World Healthcare Organization (WHO), Planned Parenthood, and LGBTQ organizations.  Our mission is prohibiting SBHC in our K-12 schools. We believe Oklahoma public schools need to remain in their professional scope of academics per the Oklahoma state constitution and Oklahoma education statute Title 210, and not expanding into socialized healthcare.
