Romans 12:21 – Reacting to the Tucson Tragedy

| January 13, 2011

Evil cannot be defeated if we deny its very existence. Evil cannot be extinguished by another evil for then it still exists, just in a different form. There is only one solution, one weapon powerful enough, and that is Divine goodness. But evil is devious, being of the devil, and confuses those who are good […]

I am the head of my wife.  The head honcho, the boss, the big guy.  Without apology and with no reservation, I say that.  My wife is to listen to and obey me.  Such talk is not politically correct, but it is biblically correct.  In some homes such talk is not safe, either. My position […]
