Sunday, April 20th, 2008Some Thoughts on Survival and Security in An Unstable World
Rev. Brian M. Abshire
My record as a prognosticator is pretty bad. Fifteen years ago, I predicted, based on sociological data of how large populations react to significant social events, that as the millennium approached, we could expect increasingly bizarre behavior by certain [...]

Sunday, April 20th, 2008 Or, I Love Bambi, Medium Rare
Rev. Brian M. Abshire
Some of my strongest, child hood memories of growing up in rural Maine come from the hunting stories the old timers used to tell during the winter. Fishermen spend the long cold winter nights in tiny work shops, building [...]

Sunday, April 20th, 2008Biblical Principles Vs Pragmatic Practices
Rev Brian M. Abshire
I am not a pacifist. I have little time (or stomach) for those who want the benefits of liberty but are unwilling to pay the price. I am proud to have worn the uniform of my country (even though my contribution was less than glamorous). [...]

As I write this, it is just a few days before Christmas. Last night, my wife laid out the presents she had bought for the kids. There were some clothes, a few games and several items that each of the children had put on their wish [...]
Christians and Business »
Sunday, April 20th, 2008Rev. Brian M. Abshire
From one perspective, Pastors are likely to be the LEAST capable persons talking about business. Sadly, most pastors today have little experience in the real world, never having held down a long-term job since they spent most of their life in various academic institutions. Usually, parents, churches and [...]
The Bible and Self-Defense »
Sunday, April 20th, 2008Rev. Brian M. Abshire
The increasing paganization of America has led to an epidemic of violence as rebellious men act consistently with their godless natures. Our legal system, once based on Biblical principles has now become thoroughly humanistic and no longer acts as a deterrent against crime. Americans are rightly fearful of [...]
The Bible and Economics »
Sunday, April 20th, 2008Rev. Brian M. AbshireEconomics before the Fall
Economics is inherently and implicitly a part of God’s plan for dominion. Even if the Fall had not occurred there still would have been some sort of economic system. Time and energy are limited for we are finite creatures. Therefore, even in a perfect world, where [...]
Real Gun Control is Hitting What You Aim at! »
Sunday, April 20th, 2008Rev. Brian M. Abshire
Recently, the nation has been struck by a number of senseless murders by psychotic individuals shooting fellow students, co-workers, or in one horrible case, little children in a day care center. And predictably, the anti-gun fanatics, who will never be satisfied until all private ownership of firearms are [...]
Paganism and Social Progress in Africa »
Sunday, April 20th, 2008Some Preliminary Considerations
Introduction
The dominant worldview for the past 100 years in the West has been evolutionary materialism. Though discussed in different ways, the fundamental assumption of the academic world since 1880 has been that the universe consists only of what we can detect with our senses. The material universe is [...]
Militias! »
Sunday, April 20th, 2008Rev. Brian M. Abshire
With the horrendous bombing of the Federal office building in Oklahoma City, the news media has brought citizens’ militia into the lime light. Most American Christians had little or no knowledge of citizen’s militias before then. However, the Federal government needed someone to blame and [...]
