No taxes on retirement income, elimination of the Death Tax, and a flat 3.8% income rate for every Iowan. America is watching the great things we are are doing here in Iowa!
Corle pokes his finger right in the eye of the grace crowd here: Isn't it amazing how that when you were lost, you used to criticize people for all kinds of things that you knew Christians shouldn't do? Now that you're saved, you do the same things you've criticized them for.…
Our church runs two buses and a van every Sunday. But in an urban setting if we want to reach people, we must plant churches in their neighborhoods.

There remains, therefore, only this alternative: either the world produced itself, or it was created. That all things came into existence spontaneously, and therefore that we must suppose an origination of immeasurably great effects without any cause, or believe that at some time…
"Christian Nationalism" is a buzzword in today's political discourse. How should we define and perceive this movement, and are there any aspects of it worth embracing? issuespodcast.podbean.com/e/issue-37-%e2…
Only Genesis exalts God above His Creation. And only Genesis gives human beings a central place in Creation, as persons made in God's image who are deeply loved by Him. Thus the biblical view of Creation has always been radical - and remains in direct conflict with the modern…

While mowing this morning I listened to the latest podcast from The Issues Podcast (which I highly recommend) about "Heroes of the Faith." It was an excellent discussion which brought some thoughts to mind. 🧵
I recently finished Richard Andrews' history of the Temple Mount. You can find my Goodreads review here: goodreads.com/review/show/23…
Covetousness also manifests itself often in cowardice. A covetous man, as a rule, runs at the sight of a wolf. A man careful of himself has no fondness for danger. He will save himself, whosoever else may be lost. A crisis arises in the parish and he hands in his resignation.…

No mention of eradicating Hamas - the perpetrators of the human suffering in Gaza. End Hamas, end the suffering.
Today I met with families from Gaza. I heard the suffering that they and their loved ones continue to endure. Some killed or wounded, others displaced. We are working tirelessly to get more aid to people in Gaza and secure an immediate ceasefire and release of hostages.
