My Opinion…..
Opinion December 22, 2015
My Opinion by Ralph C. Barker
“Ex Nihilo” in Latin means making something out of nothing. This is what God did in the beginning. God spoke, and it was. Simple to understand, right?
What is fascinating to me is that liberals believe in Ex Nihilo. They think they can speak things into existence. They seem to truly believe that if they say something, it is.
Let’s see, our President practices Ex Nihilo regularly. He has declared our borders safe. He states that no ISIS jihadists are coming over our borders.
He spoke into existence the containment of Isis. He commanded that there was no corruption, not a smidgen, in the IRS. And, he declared the economy is doing well.
I have personally heard a liberal defend another liberal’s failure by saying, “Didn’t you hear what he said?” That was supposed to close the case. He said it, so it is true. That’s it. No discussion. Shut up!
Reality does not seem to disturb them. Facts are irrelevant. History has no value. So, here we are. That’s all I have to say about that.
Merry Christmas.
One More Name For Your Christmas List
Religion December 3, 2012
Some of my fondest, warmest memories are those from the Christmases of my youth. In those days, the 1950s, Christmas was more about Jesus than Santa. In downtown Atlanta department store windows were decked out with various Christmas displays including the Nativity. Even the county court houses had a Nativity.
What’s In A Name?
Religion November 26, 2012
Words are powerful. When we assign words to a person we give them meaning, identity, and even authority. Think about when Mr. Smith becomes Senator Smith or President Smith. These labels do a lot to our concept of Mr. Smith. (more…)
Atheist Don’t Exist-God Said So
Religion June 4, 2012
I’ve met some agnostics before, but I’ve only met one or two people who actually claimed to be an atheist. Most people who struggle with the existence of God will simply opt to the agnostic position. The agnostic says that they just don’t know for sure whether or not God exists. When an atheist claims that God does not exist, then he or she directly denies the clear truth of Scripture. So who will we believe, God or atheists? (more…)
Politics and Religion Don’t Mix Or Do They?
Religion April 30, 2012
Do politics and religion mix? It really depends on how you frame the question or from which perspective you come. However, in reality there is no real way to separate the two. Religion, in some shape or form, propels and shapes politics. Politics necessarily contain a moral framework. The question always is, whose morality?
Hello! Are There Any Christians Reading This? (Where Are My Defenders?)
Religion April 23, 2012
I’m really curious. The last three weeks I have presented articles about the Church of Latter Day Saints, the Mormons. The articles got dozens of comments, basically all from Mormons. Where were mainline Christians? Does everyone agree with the Mormons? Does everyone disagree with me? Do only Mormons read my articles? I can’t figure it out. Where is everyone? (more…)
The Mormons (Part Two)
Religion April 9, 2012
As we continue to study the Mormon Church, we will take a look at its history, condensed of course. Many religions start with a vision or an angelic visitation and Mormonism is no exception. (more…)
The Mormons (Part One)
Religion April 2, 2012
Mormonism is in the news today because of Mitt Romney, Republican candidate for president. Because Mormonism is getting national attention it is important to know who the Mormons are and what they believe. Are they just another Christian denomination or are they a cult? You decide. (more…)
A Christian “Butterfly Effect”

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants…(Deut. 30:19 NASB) (more…)
