Stop Being Nice
Most of us live our days striving to be nice. We think we can just be all smiles and exude love by being nice to those who do evil. It’s a niceness that doesn’t appear in scripture, and provides only a self-serving sense of cowardly righteousness. In scripture we...
Montgomery: Don’t Buy Their Lies, Not All of America’s Youth Are Pro-Choice

On Friday the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on antitrust introduced five bills designed to address the findings of their 16-month investigation into Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook. The legislation, introduced with various Republican cosponsors,...
A Lasting Impact
It doesn’t look like much today, but the Israeli archeological site Tel Sheva is kind of a big deal. It was at the center of much of the narrative in the Bible’s Book of Genesis. Its name back then was Be’er Sheva. Most translations of the Bible render the name as...
