IndyWatchmanFor me there is a military aspect to the Christian life. We are not only to desire and patiently await our Lord’s return, but we are also called to engage the enemy and to save or rescue others who are caught in the Devil’s web of lies and confusion which are blinding mankind. One of […]
There are those of the world who see in the history of Christianity a gigantic failure, including those of the Catholic persuasion whose only perception of truth is their own, an unbroken authoritarian crusade of two thousand years. I would have to agree with their judgment if all I see is the popular fragmented Protestant […]
Man, as a creative being, is undeniable. Created in the image of God it is no wonder that man imagines, plans, consults, gathers, and brings into existence something from nothing.

There is always a questionable narrative quietly offering up a motley assortment of things, fragments, pieces of a mysteriously yet intimate plot – or conspiracy. Life in the world is like that! We see yet we don’t see. We will foolishly […]
Politics and the Devil Most of us know the story of the temptation of Jesus that was the prelude to His public ministry. The Devil temps Him three times. The one that concerns me right at this moment is the last temptation. Jesus is taken to a high mountain and is shown all the kingdoms […]
“And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham.” Genesis 26:18 Sitting alone with my thoughts it seems I unconsciously navigate toward the idea of saying something once again about the Christian’s involvement […]
The Gordian Knot is a knot tied by Gordius, a legendary king of Phrygia, that according to a prophecy, was impossible to undo except by the person who had “understanding.” Alexander the Great, not able to untie the knot solved the puzzle by cutting it with his sword.
