Is the Resistance Responsible?

By Ron Boehme | June 14, 2017 |

I intended to write an article today on the dangers of an out-of-control and extremely biased national media in the United States.

But the brazen gun attack on Congressional Republican leaders–practicing at an Alexandria, Virginia baseball field for a bipartisan charity game with their Democratic colleagues–changes the focus.

Things are coming unhinged in this nation. Let’s ask an obvious question:

Is the “Resistance” responsible?

You may be surprised by my answer.

Killing O’Reilly

By Ron Boehme | April 22, 2017 |

I’m sure that you are aware that some of the best-selling books of the past five years have been written by news anchor Bill O’Reilly. They carry titles such as Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, Killing Jesus, Killing Patton, and Killing the Rising Sun.

This “Killing Series” has sold millions of copies and has been translated into dozens of languages. Not only are the books well written in gripping novel-style, but they also contain great history that is educating a new generation.

You may by aware that Bill O’Reilly was let go by Fox News a week ago under controversial circumstances. At the time, The O’Reilly Factor was the number one news show on cable television worldwide–and held that position for fifteen years.

Neil Gorsuch and the Spirit of Lawlessness

By Ron Boehme | April 3, 2017 |

This month in my morning devotions I finished reading the book of Deuteronomy. Eugene Peterson calls it the world’s longest sermon by the world’s oldest preacher.

I love Deuteronomy because it clearly lays out the landscape of the moral world. This fifth book of Moses is really an “Instruction Manual for Wise Living” from ancient times. The main idea is still relevant. When we love God and obey his commands, great blessings flow. But when we turn away from God’s blueprints for living, all hell can break loose because right and wrong have consequences.

By Friday the US Senate will confirm Neil Gorsuch as an associate justice on the United States Supreme Court. Gorsuch probably shares my opinion on Deuteronomy. It was the most widely quoted book during the Constitutional Convention.

Neil Gorsuch is a Constitutionalist.

Will God use his appointment to help stop the tide of lawlessness in our nation?
