And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel. -Genesis 3: 15 From dictionary.com, enmity is defined as “a feeling or condition of hostility; hatred; ill will; animosity; antagonism.” There are more than a few reasons why the Mid Atlantic Reformation Society exists. To name a few, we believe that, unlike earlier periods in the history Read more…

My boss attended a mandatory safety meeting at the offices of a client a few days ago.  The purpose was to emphasize the importance of the safety initiatives they are undertaking in order to enhance the profitability of their construction projects where our employees are subcontracted to work. There’s a significant cost to settling worker’s compensation claims and/or OSHA fines and this client is making a concerted attempt to rein in those costs.  I’m all Read more…

Over the years I have had countless Christians tell me that voting is a gift from God, a privilege that is to be taken very seriously. They even go so far as to say that not voting is a (gulp) sin! Using the word sin is very uncommon these days; even among the professing evanjellyfish. But that is a topic for another day. To globally declare that not voting is a sin displays the shallowness Read more…

Dr. James Dobson Last week, Dr. James Dobson switched his endorsement from Trey Grayson to Rand Paul in the Kentucky US Senate GOP primary.  Admitting that he had made an “embarrassing mistake”, He said:   “I was given misleading information about the candidacy of Dr. Rand Paul, who is running in the Republican Primary for the U.S. Senate. Senior members of the GOP told me Dr. Paul is pro-choice and that he opposes many conservative Read more…

It’s nice, I suppose, that Christians were out celebrating May Day even if it’s “only” to pray for the unborn.  Clearly, every day can and should be used to that end. But, for me at least, something is missing. Should we really celebrate this so-called holiday?  According to Marxist.org this article, The May First strike was most aggressive in Chicago, which was at that time the center of amilitant Left-wing labor movement… it was…a fighting Read more…

Have you ever listened to the comments in a buffet line?  Recently I heard a mom “teaching” her youngster about the different foods.  It struck me that her attitudes and ideas were a pretty good reflection of the prevailing viewpoints of today’s popular culture. In a nutshell, it pretty much boiled down to this: it’s all poison.  “This has too much fat, this has too many carbs, this will do such and such to you”, Read more…

It was the day after the Big Storm, and I was out shoveling. Because I live on a city street, it somehow didn’t seem like I’d done enough just digging out my own car. So, with the help of some of my kids and neighbors, we dug their cars out as well. The nice thing about shoveling snow is that you really don’t have to think too much. Its a simple process: 1) Sift through Read more…

Somehow, I just can’t get on board. Yes, I know I’m supposed to contribute to assist the suffering in that stricken land called Haiti. I have no doubt that many sincere people are donating their time and energy, as well as their hard earned money. And how can anyone turn down the latest Hollywood celebrity glitzoids as they shame-lessly guilt us into giving? And if we can’t give, we can at least feel badly; after Read more…

The Mid Atlantic Reformation Society (MARS) presented the first of its 2010 lecture series this Tuesday in the meeting room of the Old Country Buffet in Wyomissing, PA.  Joel Saint presented answers to a question at the heart of the purpose of MARS: “Why a Christian Worldview?”.  The audience of 28 learned through the example of Alfred the Great, a great English king in the 9th century, the great effect of Biblical principles applied to Read more…
