  The Southern Baptists’ ‘pastor’ controversy: A study in terminology’s pitfalls and their consequences

  What is the controversy roiling Southern Baptists concerning the term “pastor” all about? Is it a major doctrinal disagreement or is it merely a “tempest in a teapot,” unworthy of the heat it has generated? And why, in the larger scheme of things, does it matter?

  Abolitionists, slaves and slaveholders: Who’s who and what’s what?

  So, the analogy is apt, but the pro-abortionists are playing the rule of the slaveholders, the unborn babies are the slaves, and the pro-lifers are the abolitionists. As Mark Twain once observed, “History seldom repeats itself, but it often rhymes.”

  The imperial judiciary, 1962-2022: Rest in peace

  Starting with the Earl Warren Supreme Court in the 1950s, the nation’s highest court began gathering greater and greater power unto itself as Congress and the Executive Branch acquiesced and surrendered more and more authority to the Supreme Court. That dangerous imbalance allowed the progressives to win most of the victories they have won over the last half-century by judicial fiat and edict, not by the people’s elected representatives (the Congress and the President).

  District Attorney Boudin: The chickens do come home to roost!

  Mr. Boudin is a high-profile advocate of a social theory known as “decriminalization,” which is a belief that too many ethnic minority youths end up in prison. That observation is unfortunately true. However, Mr. Boudin and his fellow travelers’ cure is worse than the disease. Mr. Boudin’s solution is to leave many more accused criminals to roam the streets victimizing many more citizens.

  General Douglas MacArthur: ‘Duty, Honor, Country!'

  If ever there was a melding together of the man and the message, this was it. Perhaps the greatest general in American history, standing before a significant portion of the future officer corps for the U.S. Army in the coming generation, delivered a message none of them would ever forget.

  Southern Baptists: Where do we go from here?

  Yes, I have read the Sexual Abuse Task Force Report (SATF).  I read all 285 pages last Sunday night. It made me physically nauseous, in spite of the fact that I have been accused of having a “cast iron” stomach.
