Reflections on Life & Liberty

Sometimes, you have no choice but to defend yourself.

As citizens, we must get better at separating the political wheat from the chaff.

There are 17 proposed constitutional amendments on this November’s ballot; ignore them at your peril.

Ignorance might be an amoral form of bliss, but the future of the republic rests on an informed citizenry.

Your rights are inconvenient to the whims of tyrants

The language we use to define issues often determines how we will solve them.

As we grow closer to God, we grow closer to each other.

Now is the time for choosing.

Citizens aren’t supposed to be the politicians’ cheerleaders or apologists.

In all ages, government power draws egomaniacs and sycophants.

But what we do with it is what matters.

Proclaim the truth, no matter how inconvenient it is to those in power.

Let us roar in defiance!

Ownership of property is central to preserving liberty.

When we set aside God’s wisdom, we embrace tyrants’ whims.

We all must stop starring as martyrs in our self-devised tale of woe.

Those whose geopolitical aspirations are based on rewriting history are building on a shaky foundation of lies

We celebrate our founding fathers’ choice to fight tyranny.

We can choose to approach life as a grumbler or as a happy warrior

Our property taxes will only go down when our local engagement goes up.

What was dimly glimpsed in 1215 was more fully fleshed out in 1776.

Strength is found not in diversity, but in unity.

The giants in the land can be defeated if we don’t give up

Even in an age of text messages and emojis, real words on real paper matter more than ever. 

If there is any place we should set aside our differing understandings of theology, it should be at the foot of the cross.

Many of our social and political problems can be attributed to idle busybodies.

We must remind those in office that they work for us, and we must remind ourselves of that as well. 

Texans should no longer be forced to subsidize a corrupt money laundering scheme

Make of it what you will, but the evidence is an empty tomb

When creating barriers for God, we imprison only ourselves.

Liberty can only grow in the soil of self-governance tended to daily by zealous patriots

Too many Texas Republicans have adopted the showmanship of Donald Trump without embracing his commitment to delivering on promises.

For liberty to thrive, citizens must know how to effectively sharpen each other to the benefit of our republic.

As a self-governing people, we must know our limits.

When people decide they are willing to lose everything rather than live as serfs, that is when tyrants quiver and fall.

We’re not called to lives of comfort and safety; we’re called to be faithful.

We were made to live.

Christians are called to engage for good and justice in the real world.

If you want to win, don’t use your opponents’ definitions.

Evangelicals made a good deal in hiring Donald Trump.
