Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston We had no new podcast this week because of sickness and administrative issues. Next week we will cover some commonly asked questions that new people have about me. ********* I was deeply saddened to hear that one of our key CORAC members – and host of a presentation in eastern Iowa from […]
Read More Prepare for the AccountingBy Charlie Johnston On the weekly podcast Dr. Joe Brickner and I do, we have started having guests. Our first guest was the eschatologist Desmond Birch. We talked about where we really are in salvation history (kind of a palliative for the explosive effusion of sites focusing on prophecy these days). We also talked about […]
Read More Ready to Hit the RoadBy Charlie Johnston When the movie, “Jaws,” first came out in 1975 I was still a teenager. I saw it in the theatre three times, both because I loved the movie and because of an astonishing phenomena I had never seen before and have not seen since. At the end of the movie, when Chief […]
Read More Liars, Conspirers, Despair, Oh My! – Political and Domestic AffairsBy Charlie Johnston I was planning to launch an end-of-year fundraising drive this week but I’m holding off until the second week of January. My convalescence is over but I am not fully right yet. In normal times, I can work eight to 10 hours a day four days a week just fine. Right now, […]
Read More The Shape of Things to ComeBy Charlie Johnston What fellowship can light have with darkness? – 2 Corinthians 6:14 As recently as 50 years ago, one could honorably be either Democrat or Republican. Both parties were basically pro-life, pro-nuclear family, pro-individual liberty, pro-free speech, and at least gave lip service to the Judeo-Christian ethic and took pains not to offend […]
Read More Get Your Hands Dirty – or PerishBy Charlie Johnston I have not posted in almost two weeks. On Thanksgiving Day I had eight hours of uninterrupted activity – more than twice as long as any since I got sick. It set me back a bit. My progress remains about where my doctor said it would be four weeks ago, which means […]
Read More Eager to Return to the Land of the LivingBy Charlie Johnston After reading tons of commentary on the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict last week, there is a central aspect that has been largely uncommented on. In fact, it may be THE key aspect. This outcome has NOT vindicated the justice system, which should never have brought this case to trial. I am not convinced […]
Read More Real Thanks to be Given: Our Coming Pandemic of CourageBy Charlie Johnston What do you do when you find an opponent is consistently dealing in bad faith? You quit negotiating, for you can rely on nothing he says. It is all a lie designed to manipulate and destroy. When you get to that point, the only reasonable option is to ignore everything he says […]
Read More No More Dancing With the DevilBy Charlie Johnston My dear friend, Fr. Regis Scanlon, OFM, passed on Saturday night in Denver. He worked with St. Mr. Teresa, doing Eucharistic Formation for her nuns. What a glorious man with a lively sense of humor. Thank God we got to visit just before I hit the road – but it had to […]
Read More Weak but WillingBy Charlie Johnston This is Joe Biden’s America: In Chicago, State’s Atty. Kim Foxx declines to press charges against five men arrested in a fatal gang shootout; In Washington, D.C. some 500 people continue into their ninth month of solitary confinement for “parading” in the Capitol. In Arlington, Texas, a school shooter is released the […]
