The Syrian Fuse is Burning Again
I have written about nine articles on Syria going back as far as 2017. Several of them concerned the genocide of Syrian Christians by radical Sunni Muslims opposing the rule of Bashar al-Assad, President of Syria from July 2000 until December 8, 2024. Assad is a Shia Alawite Muslim. The Alawites are exceptionally moderate Muslims and have allied with the Christians in economic and politics in Syria for many generations, protecting them from the Sunni Muslim majority in Syria, whose fundamentalist Islamic religious doctrines strongly oppose Christians, Jews, Druze, and in fact, all non-Muslims and moderate Muslims.
The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, is the largest and most powerful Sunni Muslim organization in the world. The Muslim Brotherhood is “Salafist”—back to fundamentalist basics—in its doctrines and has especially little tolerance for religiously moderate Muslim leaders. For many decades, the Ikhwan (Brotherhood) planned to remove the Assad regime, begun by Bashar al-Assad’s father Hafez al-Assad after a military coup in 1971. The Arab Spring, backed by President Barack Obama in 2011, was the perfect opportunity to pursue Muslim Brotherhood goals in Syria. By the way, a 2004 FBI raid in Virginia uncovered hundreds of documents revealing Muslim Brotherhood plans to build a framework to overthrow the culture and Government of the United States.

German and Soviet Statistics Tell a Bloody Story
According to the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, 5.5 million members of the German Armed Forces were killed, died of wounds, or remained missing at the end of 1946. This was approximately 30 percent of the 18.2 million German military personnel who served during the war. The population of Germany in 1939 was 80.6 million, which included 6.7 million from Austria annexed in March 1938 and 3.3 million from German-speaking Sudetenland, formerly part of Czechoslovakia, occupied by German troops in September 1938.
Three Biblical Pillars of Christian Faith

Grace Alone, Faith Alone, in Christ Alone
Grace Alone
On April 22, I published an article in the Times Examiner entitled “The Sovereignty of God.” On June 10, I followed with an article entitled “Sharpening the Truth of Amazing Grace.” Grace is the sovereign gift of God. We do not earn Grace. We may be made in the image of God, but that too, is the sovereign gift of God. We are missing the mark, if we presume we can merit grace or salvation by our own efforts or wisdom. The sinful nature we inherited from Adam is too strong, too blinding, and too polarizing for us to truly know God or recognize our own depraved condition, nature, foolishness, and hopelessness. Grace is God’s loving intervention to cleanse, redeem, enlighten, save, and ultimately glorify whomever He chooses. But I cannot do justice to conveying these Biblical truths. Let Scripture, the Word of God, make the case.

A Short Summary of the 12-Day War - Dated June 29, 2025
On Friday, June 13, Israeli F-35 stealth bombers executed a surprise attack on Iranian nuclear facilities and military sites. Simultaneously, Israeli intelligence agents within Iran assassinated many top military officials and nuclear scientists. About 70 Iranians were killed and another 350 were wounded. Israel has long considered the possibility of Iranian nuclear weapons an existential threat to the survival of Israel. The Radical Islamic leaders of Iran have frequently threatened to annihilate Israel. Their rhetoric, often expressed through organized pro-government demonstrations, has often featured slogans describing both Israel and the United States as satanic enemies of Iran and Islam.

Notes and Commentary on a Lecture by Reverend Harry L. Reeder III
On December 10, 2000, I took notes on a lecture on the Biblical Principles of American Government given by Rev. Dr. Harry L. Reeder at Briarwood Presbyterian Church (PCA) in suburban Birmingham, Alabama. On February 12, 2001, I decided to type them out and share them with class I was teaching at Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church (PCA), which was originally a branch (Briarwood South) of Briarwood Presbyterian. I believe the time is especially right to share these principles of American government in an article.
