“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” Lutheran pastor Martin Niemoller penned those words in the aftermath of World War II. Initially a supporter of the National Soc

Have you ever seen or experienced one of those moments when you hear an utterance that makes you cringe? Like that time in church when the soloist was so off-key that it quenched the Spirit and made the congregation break out in empathy-sweat. “Ol’ boy was operatin’ outside his gifts!” as the saying goes. Sometimes folks get way outside their gifts, saying or doing more than they should. This has a way of robbing the moment of its expected impact. Politicians participate in s

While civilians outside the gate can carry firearms with no training requirements, highly trained soldiers inside military bases are completely disarmed by strict gun control policies. Recent shootings at Fort Stewart highlight the dangerous irony: bad guys with guns can still get on base, but the "good guys with guns" – our expertly trained servicemembers – are left defenseless. This policy contradiction puts lives at risk and strips constitutional rights from those who've e
